EyeStill MCP

An MCP server that enables speed-reading of web pages, public-domain books, and AI answers one word at a time within the chat interface. It allows the AI assistant to track the user's reading position to provide explanations, recaps, quizzes, or continue reading from the exact point where the user paused.

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.

EyeStill opens web pages, public-domain books and text from the conversation in a speed reader view (read_with_eyestill).

read_with_eyestill — Speed-read with EyeStill
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Opens text in EyeStill, a speed reader shown in the chat as an interactive view. The view shows one word at a time at a single point of focus (RSVP) on a 3D drum, with play, pause, speed (100 to 1,000 words per minute) and position controls. Takes exactly one of: url (a public web article, page or plain-text file; the server extracts its readable text), book (title and/or author of a public-domain book, fetched from Project Gutenberg), or text (any text, such as text from the conversation or an answer composed for reading in the view). Text is displayed while it streams in, so reading can start before it is complete. The text is shown only in the view; the result reports its title and word count. Plain prose reads best: Markdown, tables and code appear as raw text. A text can be opened at a word number (start_word, as reported by the reader's context) or at the first place a phrase appears, such as a chapter heading (start_at). While the user reads, the view shares the current position and passage as context.

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 eyestill-mcp https://eyestill.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 eyestill-mcp --url https://eyestill.com/mcp

Cursor

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