Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Help to stop gambling: verified helplines, self-exclusion, a gambling-site check, PGSI, block plans.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 5 things (tools) find_gambling_help, find_self_exclusion, check_gambling_site, gambling_self_check …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

    "silex-help": {

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

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.

  • find_gambling_help

    Free, confidential gambling helplines and crisis lines for a country, checked by hand by the Silex team. Use when someone wants to talk to a person about gambling, is struggling after losses, or seems in distress. Returns country-specific lines where verified, plus free online op

  • find_self_exclusion

    How to self-exclude from gambling in a country: the official national scheme (e.g. GAMSTOP in the UK, OASIS in Germany, RGIAJ in Spain, ANJ in France, Brazil's federal platform), what it covers, its terms, and the official sign-up link. Self-exclusion is free and can't be undone

  • check_gambling_site

    Checks web addresses against the Silex blocklist of about 294,000 gambling, betting and casino domains (the list Silex's iPhone app and free browser extension block). Sub-domains match their parent. Use when someone asks whether a site is a gambling or betting site, or whether a

Common questions

Is Silex Gambling Help safe?

It passed 3 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 (1.0.0) 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, Python MCP

stop-gambling

Gambling help from your terminal: free helplines checked by hand, your country's official self-exclusion scheme, a check against about 294,000 gambling and betting domains, the PGSI self-check, and step-by-step plans to block gambling on iPhone, Android and at the bank.

Made by Silex, the quit-gambling app. No account, no key, and nothing you look up is stored.

If you are in immediate danger or thinking about suicide, call your local emergency number now.

npx stop-gambling helplines

Commands

stop-gambling helplines [country]       # free, confidential lines; defaults to your locale's country

stop-gambling self-exclude # GAMSTOP, OASIS, RGIAJ, ANJ, Spelpaus, ROFUS, BetStop… stop-gambling check # is it a gambling site? exit code 1 if any is stop-gambling self-check # the PGSI, 9 questions, interactive stop-gambling block stop-gambling mcp # use the same tools from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Add --json to any command for machine-readable output. Country is an ISO code (GB, US, DE) or an English name ("New Zealand").

$ stop-gambling check bet365.com sports.stake.com wikipedia.org

✗ bet365.com gambling ✗ sports.stake.com gambling (matches stake.com) ✓ wikipedia.org not on the list

check - reads sites from stdin, so it works in scripts:

cat visited-domains.txt | stop-gambling check - --json

self-check --answers 2,1,2,0,2,1,1,1,2 scores nine answers (0 never … 3 almost always) without the prompts.

As a library

import { checkSites, findHelp, findSelfExclusion, selfCheck, blockGambling } from "stop-gambling";

const { results } = await checkSites(["bet365.com", "example.org"]); const help = await findHelp("GB");

Node 18 or later. No dependencies.

How it works

Every command calls the public, read-only Silex Help MCP server, the same one behind the Silex plugin for ChatGPT. It keeps no logs of what you ask (privacy policy, section 15). Only the country or the sites you pass are sent.

  • Helplines and self-exclusion schemes are checked by hand against official sources and re-checked with every release.
  • The PGSI is the Problem Gambling Severity Index (Ferris & Wynne, 2001). It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
  • The domain list is the one the Silex app and the free Silex browser extension block. It is derived from The Blocklist Project (public domain) and the UT1 blacklists of Université Toulouse Capitole (CC BY-SA 4.0). A site missing from it is not proof a site is safe; report misses to support@trysilex.com.

Silex is not medical care and does not diagnose or treat any condition.

Licence

The code is MIT. The domain-list data stays under its own licences, above.
