MCP & coding agents

Three ways to put layahost in front of an AI agent: a remote MCP server for asking decisions from a chat or editor, a skill that teaches coding agents how to call the API in your code, and the whole documentation as Markdown.

MCP server

Endpoint

POST https://layahost.com/mcp

A remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) on your normal account. Authenticate with an API key in the Authorization header; create a separate key for each agent so you can see its usage and revoke it on its own. Decisions are billed exactly like API calls and appear in Logs as MCP server.

Tool	What it does	Cost
`decide`	One decision about one text: a template or your own choice, yes/no or score question.	1 decision
`decide_batch`	The same decision for up to 64 texts.	1 decision per text
`list_templates`	The ready-made templates with their options.	Free
`get_usage`	Balance, decisions left and the last 30 days of usage.	Free

Claude Code

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http layahost https://layahost.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $LAYAHOST_API_KEY"

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "layahost": {
      "url": "https://layahost.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lh_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "layahost": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://layahost.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:layahost-key}" }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    { "id": "layahost-key", "type": "promptString", "description": "layahost API key", "password": true }
  ]
}

Other clients work the same way: the URL above plus an Authorization: Bearer header. The server does not use OAuth, so clients that only support OAuth sign-in cannot connect yet.

Agent skill

The skill tells a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others that read SKILL.md) which endpoint to use, how to phrase questions and options, how to read confidence and how to retry. With it, "add spam filtering to the contact form" ends in working layahost code instead of a guess.

Install for Claude Code

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/layahost
curl -fsSL https://layahost.com/skills/layahost/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/layahost/SKILL.md

For a single project, put it in .claude/skills/layahost/SKILL.md in the repository instead. Other agents: save the same file wherever they load skills from.

Docs as Markdown

/llms.txt lists every docs page with a one-line summary, following llmstxt.org.
/llms-full.txt is the whole documentation in one file, for pasting into a context window.
Any docs page is available as Markdown by adding .md, for example /docs/decide.md.
