Rephrasy MCP Server

Use Rephrasy from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client: humanize AI-generated text and check AI-detection scores without leaving your editor or agent workflow.

Two tools, one API key:

Setup

1. Get an API key — sign in at rephrasy.ai → Account → API. Both tools bill against your Rephrasy plan.

2. Add the server to your client:

Claude Code

claude mcp add rephrasy -e REPHRASY_API_KEY=<your-key> -- npx -y @rephrasy/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rephrasy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@rephrasy/mcp"],
      "env": { "REPHRASY_API_KEY": "<your-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rephrasy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@rephrasy/mcp"],
      "env": { "REPHRASY_API_KEY": "<your-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Until the package is on npm you can run it straight from GitHub: replace "args": ["-y", "@rephrasy/mcp"] with "args": ["-y", "github:rephrasyai/rephrasy-mcp"].

Tools

humanize

Returns the rewritten text plus the number of words charged.

detect

Returns JSON with scores.overall (lower = more human-like) and, in per-sentence mode, sentences.

Example prompts

• "Humanize this paragraph, then run detect on the result to verify it."
• "Rewrite my draft with the humanize tool using my writing style <style-id>."
• "Check which sentences of this post read as AI-written."

Development

npm install
npm run build
REPHRASY_API_KEY=<key> node dist/index.js   # runs on stdio
