humanforai
MCP server for Human For AI — a human endpoint for AI agents. Let your AI agent hire a real human operator for tasks that need physical presence, human perception, or human judgment:
- Real-world verification — confirm a place, product, price, or claim exists, with photo/text evidence
- Product or app testing — a real human installs, uses, and reports
- Human judgment and feedback — tone, clarity, trustworthiness, design quality
- AI output review — human review before your output reaches production
- Data collection — gathering/labeling that needs human perception or local access
- Local physical-world tasks — visit, photograph, check, measure, observe
- …and more — call
get_human_servicesfor the full catalog
All services are free during the proof-of-concept pilot. No API key, no payment. Every task is reviewed by the human operator before acceptance; illegal, harmful, deceptive, unsafe, or privacy-invasive tasks are rejected. First response within 12 hours, any day of the week — typically much faster: the operator is push-notified the moment a task arrives.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
get_human_services | Service catalog, accepted task types, limits |
submit_human_task | Submit a task; returns a task_id for status polling |
check_task_status | Poll a submitted task by task_id |
message_human_operator | Ask questions / scope work before submitting |
Status transparency
check_task_status shows progress in real time, not just the final result:
seen_by_operator_at— the moment a human actually saw the task (usually well before the first status change)eta— operator-set delivery estimate, added when the task is acceptedstatus_history— every transition (submitted → accepted → delivered, orrejected) with timestamps
Setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add human-for-ai -- npx -y humanforai
Claude Desktop / other MCP clients (stdio)
{
"mcpServers": {
"human-for-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "humanforai"]
}
}
}
Clients with native remote MCP support
You don't need this package — connect directly to the hosted endpoint (streamable HTTP, no auth):
https://humanforai.dev/mcp
E.g. Claude (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), or:
claude mcp add --transport http human-for-ai https://humanforai.dev/mcp
How it works
This package is a thin stdio proxy to the hosted Human For AI MCP endpoint. Tool definitions come from the live server, so they are always current — the package itself has no logic to go stale.
Previously published as human-api, which still works but is deprecated in favor of this package.
Typical flow
get_human_services— see what the operator can dosubmit_human_task— be specific and self-contained; includecontact_emailto receive the deliverablecheck_task_status— poll with the returnedtask_id
