dyslex.ia — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Cognitive accessibility skills for AI agents. It decodes messy prompts, shields technical tokens from distortion, and structures complex output.
claude mcp add dyslex-ia -e DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH=<DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH> -- npx -y @firou91/dyslex.iaWhat dyslex.ia does
The server equips coding agents with 16 accessibility-focused skills. It helps the assistant parse typo-heavy prompts, translate noisy terminal dumps into legible summaries, and sequence multi-step tasks. Exact identifiers like file paths, hashes, environment variables, and console commands stay untouched.
Adapting interactions happens through an evidence-informed model. Medical claims are strictly avoided. The focus rests entirely on reducing cognitive strain while inspecting diffs or resuming work after an interruption.
A functioning Superpowers setup is mandatory. Each skill verifies this gate through the DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH environment variable. If that variable points to nothing, the agent halts immediately.
What it helps with
- reconstruct intended meaning from misspelled or messy prompts
- preserve critical technical tokens like file paths and hashes intact
- parse noisy stack traces into clear diagnostic summaries
- sequence complicated implementation steps with explicit checks
Example prompts for the agent
- Break down this terminal failure into clear, actionable steps
- Summarize this diff while keeping exact function names and paths
- Clarify my prompt and organize the implementation sequence

Questions about dyslex.ia
How to install dyslex.ia in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add dyslex-ia -e DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH=<DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH> -- npx -y @firou91/dyslex.ia in your terminal. Replace the placeholder with your actual Superpowers directory path.
What does dyslex.ia do?
It equips your agent with cognitive accessibility skills to handle garbled inputs, clarify errors, and structure verbose responses without losing technical precision.
Why is Superpowers required?
Every skill contains an execution gate that relies on Superpowers. Without setting the DYSLEXIA_SUPERPOWERS_PATH environment variable, the agent stops and requests the prerequisite before proceeding.
