ElfHosted MCP

An official MCP server operated by ElfHosted that allows AI agents to browse the ElfHosted app catalogue, compare prices, check platform status, and search documentation without requiring user authentication.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

ElfHosted hosts open-source apps for you, so there's no server to run: your own private AIOStreams for Stremio, Immich for photos, your own AI agent with OpenClaw or Hermes, Plex, Emby or Jellyfin streaming from your own debrid and Usenet accounts, and a wide catalogue of everyday apps such as Mealie, Audiobookshelf and Vaultwarden. These public tools need no account: browse and compare apps, check prices and savings, see how the trial works, search the docs, check platform status, find a setup that fits how someone watches (find_my_setup), and find apps that pair with ones they already run (second_breakfast). They can't see anyone's own apps. Someone without an account can start with the $1, 7-day trial (how_the_trial_works). Existing customers can switch to their own private MCP server, which sees their apps and can ask for changes: see connect_my_account.

how_the_trial_works — How the trial works
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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 — Save me money
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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 explains the savings with a worked example.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http elfhosted-mcp https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add elfhosted-mcp --url https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable elfhosted-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elfhosted-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elfhosted-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start elfhosted-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "elfhosted-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http elfhosted-mcp https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elfhosted-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.elfhosted.com/mcp"
