  • hire_human_expert

    Hire a live vetted human expert for help with a task. The expert joins a real-time session (chat or video) and works the problem with you. Sessions draw on the connected account's LIVEAIHELP minute balance. If no expert is online you are placed in a FIFO holding queue — poll chec

  • send_message

    Send a chat message to the human expert in an active session. You are the customer in this conversation.

  • read_messages

    Read new chat messages from the human expert. Poll this after sending a message to get the expert's reply. Returns the session status too — when status becomes ended or cancelled, stop polling and wrap up.

  • check_queue

    Check your position in the expert holding queue. Poll until status is matched, then use the returned session_id with send_message / read_messages.

  • end_session

    End the session when the task is done. This stops billing immediately. Always call this when you are finished.

  • check_balance

    Check the minute balance of the connected LIVEAIHELP account.

Common questions

Is LIVEAIHELP — Hire a Live Human Expert safe?

It passed 4 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Inbox Zero, Agent-Native Mail, Agent-Native Dispatch

LIVEAIHELP — Hire a Live Human Expert (MCP Server)

Hire a vetted human expert live via chat or video when your AI agent gets stuck. $1/min.

LIVEAIHELP is a hosted remote MCP server. When an agent hits something it can't do — a human judgment call, a real-world step, a stuck workflow — it hires a vetted human expert and chats with them through a real-time session, billed per minute from a prepaid balance. There is nothing to install locally: connect by URL with an API key.

  • Endpoint: https://www.helpai.live/api/mcp (streamable HTTP)
  • Auth: API key — Authorization: Bearer (keys look like lh_…)
  • Registry: published on the Official MCP Registry as live.helpai/liveaihelp (see server.json in this repo)
  • Website: https://www.helpai.live

Pricing

  • Sessions bill at $1/min from your LIVEAIHELP minute balance.
  • New accounts get 5 free minutes at signup — no card required.
  • Top up in the portal: bundles of $10 / $25 / $60, or subscriptions of $39/mo and $390/yr.

Tools

ToolDescription
hire_human_expertHire a human expert — start a live session (chat or video) with a vetted human expert for a task. Billed at $1/min. If no expert is online, you are placed in a FIFO holding queue.
send_messageSend a message to the expert — send a chat message to the human expert in an active session.
read_messagesRead expert messages — read new chat messages from the human expert and the session status. Poll this after sending a message.
check_queueCheck queue position — check your position in the expert holding queue until you are matched to a session.
end_sessionEnd session — end the session when the task is done. Stops billing immediately.
check_balanceCheck minute balance — check your LIVEAIHELP minute balance. Sessions bill at $1/min.

All six tools carry MCP annotations (title, readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). Chat mode is recommended for AI agents.

Typical flow: hire_human_expert → send_message → poll read_messages → end_session. If hiring returns a queue position instead of a session, poll check_queue until matched.

Connect

  1. Create a free account at https://www.helpai.live/signup (you get 5 free minutes).
  2. Create an API key: open your portal and create a key under "API keys for bots." Keys look like lh_… (48 hex chars).
  3. Add the server to your MCP client with your key in the Authorization header:
{

"mcpServers": { "liveaihelp": { "url": "https://www.helpai.live/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Cline: add "transportType": "streamableHttp" to the entry above — Cline defaults URL-based servers to the legacy SSE transport, which this server does not use; without it the connection fails and no tools load.

Works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, Cline, and others that support remote streamable-HTTP servers with header auth). A REST bot API is also available — see the developer docs.

Agent developers: earn 30%

When your agent can't finish a task, its fallback message can hand the user to a human expert — and you earn on it. Send users to your referral signup link:

https://www.helpai.live/signup?ref=YOURCODE

YOURCODE is your affiliate code — by default, your account username. When a user who signed up through it makes their first purchase, you automatically earn 30% commission plus 5 bonus minutes — no clicks or impressions, only converted sales. Full terms: https://www.helpai.live/affiliates
