Capabilities

Tools 10

browse_apps

Search ElfHosted's catalogue of apps and bundles by name or by what you want done, such as "photos" or "password manager". Returns each match's name, a short description, its live price and its store link. With no search words, AIOStreams, Immich, OpenClaw and Hermes come first.

Discovered
compare_apps

Compare 2 to 5 ElfHosted apps or bundles side by side: name, description, live price and store link for each. Give store product ids or names.

Discovered
connect_my_account

How an ElfHosted customer connects their agent to their own private MCP server, which sees their apps and can ask for changes, with the steps for claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor. Read from the docs, with the link.

Discovered
find_my_setup

Suggests which ElfHosted path fits how someone watches and what they want: Stremio with their own private AIOStreams, a Plex, Emby or Jellyfin library, or Flex for everyday apps such as photos, recipes and notes. Rules-based, with live store links and prices.

Discovered
get_doc

Read one page of the public ElfHosted docs as markdown. Give its path ("app/plex", "ai-agents") or its docs.elfhosted.com link, as search_docs returns. Long pages are cut short.

Discovered
how_the_trial_works

How ElfHosted's $1 trial works: how long it runs, what you get, which products are not on trial, what happens when it ends, and how to cancel. Read from the trial page of the docs, with its link.

Discovered
platform_status

Whether ElfHosted's public services are up right now, from the status page, naming any that are down.

Discovered
save_me_money

Ways to pay less for an ElfHosted app: prepaying 3, 6 or 12 months, and paying with ElfBuckz bought with Bitcoin, which stacks with prepaying. Give a product (a name, search words or a store product id) to get its live monthly price and what each term costs; without one, it explains the savings with a worked example.

Discovered
search_docs

Search ElfHosted's public documentation. Returns the best matching pages and sections, each with its title, link and a short snippet. get_doc reads a whole page.

Discovered
second_breakfast

For someone happy with their stack who wants more: suggests up to 5 ElfHosted apps that pair with the apps they list, never one they already run, each with why and a live store link. Rules-based.
