What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • how_the_trial_works

    How ElfHosted's $1 trial works: how long it runs, what you get, which products are not on trial, what happens when it ends, and how to cancel. Read from the trial page of the docs, with its link.

  • save_me_money

    Ways to pay less for an ElfHosted app: prepaying 3, 6 or 12 months, and paying with ElfBuckz bought with Bitcoin, which stacks with prepaying. Give a product (a name, search words or a store product id) to get its live monthly price and what each term costs; without one, it expla

  • browse_apps

    Search ElfHosted's catalogue of apps and bundles by name or by what you want done, such as "photos" or "password manager". Returns each match's name, a short description, its live price and its store link. With no search words, AIOStreams, Immich, OpenClaw and Hermes come first.

  • compare_apps

    Compare 2 to 5 ElfHosted apps or bundles side by side: name, description, live price and store link for each. Give store product ids or names.

  • search_docs

    Search ElfHosted's public documentation. Returns the best matching pages and sections, each with its title, link and a short snippet. get_doc reads a whole page.

  • get_doc

    Read one page of the public ElfHosted docs as markdown. Give its path ("app/plex", "ai-agents") or its docs.elfhosted.com link, as search_docs returns. Long pages are cut short.

  • platform_status

    Whether ElfHosted's public services are up right now, from the status page, naming any that are down.

  • connect_my_account

    How an ElfHosted customer connects their agent to their own private MCP server, which sees their apps and can ask for changes, with the steps for claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor. Read from the docs, with the link.

  • find_my_setup

    Suggests which ElfHosted path fits how someone watches and what they want: Stremio with their own private AIOStreams, a Plex, Emby or Jellyfin library, or Flex for everyday apps such as photos, recipes and notes. Rules-based, with live store links and prices.

  • second_breakfast

    For someone happy with their stack who wants more: suggests up to 5 ElfHosted apps that pair with the apps they list, never one they already run, each with why and a live store link. Rules-based.

Common questions

Is ElfHosted safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (0.2.4) reached the registry 3 days ago.

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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Binggio
