MCP support
Bestie Check provides hosted and local stdio MCP connections, along with tools to prepare documents and read check results. Paid checks are available only when the server reports readiness and the specific quote has been approved.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEBestie Check
See your document from above: every claim, and every assumption it rests on.
Bestie Check prepares a memo, report, or other document for a reasoning check. The free Quick Look gives you a helicopter view of its claims and assumptions. Agents can also read findings and a fix list from checks in the connected account. Paid checks require server availability and approval of a specific quote.
This repository contains the public plugin distribution. The Node CLI and stdio MCP implementation are bundled in @mybestie/check. Plugin version 1.2.0 uses CLI version 0.3.0, published on npm.
Connect
Hosted MCP with OAuth
For hosts that accept a remote MCP server, connect to:
https://www.hirebestie.com/api/check/mcp
Sign in to your Bestie account and authorize the connection. Use the hosted connection or the local stdio connection for each host. Configuring both duplicates the tools.
CLI and local MCP
Requires Node.js 20 or newer and npm.
npx -y @mybestie/[email protected] login
npx -y @mybestie/[email protected] capabilities
npx -y @mybestie/[email protected] prepare --file memo.pdf --wait --progress
npx -y @mybestie/[email protected] mcp
The plugin's local MCP process pins @mybestie/[email protected]. Sign in through the CLI first; credentials stay in the CLI's local credential store. You may instead configure BESTIE_API_KEY in your host's private environment. Never commit a key or include one in a prompt.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add HireBestie/bestie-check
/plugin install bestie-check@bestie
Use /bestie-check:verify to prepare a document. The optional Stop hook asks whether to offer Check; it never approves spending.
Cursor and Codex
The root plugin.json, mcp.json, and skills/ form a portable Agent Plugin. .codex-plugin/plugin.json provides Codex compatibility metadata. .cursor/mcp.json and .cursor/rules/bestie-check.mdc provide a Cursor configuration and rule for manual setup. Follow your client's local-plugin setup instructions.
Public directory acceptance is separate from this repository. This repository does not imply a listing in the Claude, OpenAI, or Cursor directories.

Expected journey
- Call
inspect_capabilitiesand use the returned availability. - Prepare the document with
prepare_deliverable, or upload its bytes with the file-upload tools. - Poll
get_preparationuntil the returnednextActionisreview; respect retry and failure states. - Report the returned claims and assumptions without inventing findings or a verdict.
- For an existing check, read its findings and fix list using the account's authorized access.
Paid tools are offered only when the server reports them ready. An agent must obtain approval for the actual quote, its hash, and a credit ceiling. Installing a plugin, signing in, or saying "check this" does not approve spending.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
