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:
humanize | Rewrites AI-generated text in a natural, human style while preserving meaning |
detect | Scores how likely a text is to be flagged as AI-written (overall + optional per-sentence) |
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"].
