Elicitly MCP server

by elicitly · official

Lets your AI pause and ask you a question with a simple yes/no box or a short form before it continues.

Elicitly is a small helper that lets your AI stop and ask you something in the middle of a task. Instead of guessing, it shows you a confirmation box or a short form, waits for your answer, and then carries on. It is handy if you use an AI assistant for work and want to approve things before they happen.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to something else. This one gives your AI the ability to ask you a question and get a real answer back, using the built-in question feature of your AI app. So when the AI needs your input, it can pop up a box or a form right there in your chat window.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to do something, like prepare a message or check a plan. When the AI needs your approval or a piece of information, it uses Elicitly to show you a confirmation dialog or a short form. You fill it in or click yes or no. Elicitly passes your answer back to the AI, and the AI continues with your reply in hand. There is also a check tool that tells you whether your AI app supports these question boxes at all.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Ask me to confirm before you send that email”, on your own computer the Elicitly MCP server works with your own computer, and you get back your answer goes back to the AI.
