Local scoring for AI agents

AI Content Detector MCP for Claude, Codex, and Cursor

The Slop or Not MCP server lets Claude, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Cursor, and other agents call a local AI text detector, AI image detector, readability analyzer, and cleanup tool on your Mac.

Point your MCP client at the bundled slop mcp command. With Pro, Claude, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Cursor, and other agents can keep running local checks without per-call API metering.

On-device

Client setup snippets point at the bundled Mac app binary.

Local stdio server

Your MCP client starts the bundled slop binary and talks to it over stdio.

Six tools

Status, text detection, readability, cleanup, image detection, and raw image scoring.

Unlimited local checks

Pro removes the daily cap, so agents can run repeated text, image, readability, and cleanup checks locally.

Client setup

How do I add Slop or Not to an MCP client?

Install the Mac app, activate Pro, then use the app-bundle snippet for your client. Claude, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and Cursor all point at the same local server.

Claude CodeAdd Slop or Not as a user-scoped stdio server, restart Claude Code, then verify with /mcp.

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user SlopOrNot -- "/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop" mcp

Claude DesktopUse this JSON shape in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.

  "mcpServers": {
    "SlopOrNot": {
      "command": "/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

CodexAdd the server to ~/.codex/config.toml, then restart Codex so it reads the new MCP server list.

[mcp_servers.SlopOrNot]
command = "/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop"
args = ["mcp"]

Hermes AgentAdd Slop or Not as an MCP server in your Hermes Agent config, then restart Hermes Agent so it can call the local tools.

mcp_servers:
  SlopOrNot:
    command: "/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop"
    args: ["mcp"]

OpenClawRegister Slop or Not with the OpenClaw MCP CLI, then restart OpenClaw if it was already running.

openclaw mcp set slopornot '{"command":"/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop","args":["mcp"]}'

CursorAdd this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global server, or .cursor/mcp.json at the project root for one project.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "SlopOrNot": {
      "command": "/Applications/Slop Or Not.app/Contents/MacOS/slop",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tool reference

What tools does the Slop or Not MCP server provide?

The server provides six tools for the checks agents usually need: status, text detection, readability, cleanup, image detection, and raw image scoring.

slop_status

Check app and Pro status

Confirms the app is installed, the binary can run, and Pro is active before the agent starts a workflow.

detect_text

Detect AI text

Scores a passage with the on-device text detector and returns a local AI verdict, score, and readability metrics.

Verify

How do I verify the MCP server?

After restart, ask your agent to run slop_status. The expected result is a tool call that reports the local app and Pro state without an error.

{
  "pro": true,
  "version": "1.0.9"
}

Security

Trust the source

Only register MCP servers you trust. The Slop or Not MCP server is bundled with the signed Mac app, and the snippets on this page point at that exact app-bundle binary.

Troubleshooting

Why do the snippets use the app-bundle path?

GUI agents can launch outside your login shell, where command names may not resolve. The snippets use the signed app-bundle path so each client starts the same local Slop or Not binary.

Local API

Can agents use this instead of a cloud AI detector API?

For agent workflows, yes. MCP gives Claude, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Cursor, and other clients a local tool interface instead of a hosted AI detector API. The client sends text or image data to the bundled Mac binary over stdio, and the check runs on your Mac.

Loop with agents

How does Slop or Not work with the agentic AI Humanizer skill?

The agentic AI Humanizer skill can call the MCP tools, score a baseline, clean hidden characters and formatting artifacts, and re-score the draft locally. Optional voice matching belongs to the agent: your writing sample steers the rewrite, while Slop or Not handles the local measurement.

Slop or Not returns a probability verdict, not a guarantee. Results can vary with new AI models, short passages, and writing that was heavily edited by a human.
