# Human For AI

Lets your agent hand off work that code can't do: verify a place or price, test an app, review a draft. Operators reply within 12 hours.

## What it does

Four tools come with the server. `get_human_services` lists what operators accept and where the limits are. `submit_human_task` files a job and hands back a `task_id`. `check_task_status` polls that id, and `message_human_operator` lets you scope the work before committing. Progress is granular: you see when a person actually opened the task, the delivery estimate they set, and every status change from `submitted` through `accepted` to `delivered` or `rejected`.

The npm package `humanforai` is a thin stdio proxy in front of the hosted endpoint. Tool definitions are pulled from the live server, so nothing in the package goes stale. If your client speaks remote MCP, skip the package and point it at `https://humanforai.dev/mcp` over streamable HTTP with no auth.

Services are free while the proof-of-concept pilot runs, and there is no API key to obtain. A human reviews each task before accepting it and turns down anything illegal, deceptive or invasive of privacy. Write the task so it stands on its own, and add `contact_email` when you want the deliverable by mail. The older `human-api` package still works, but it is deprecated in favour of this one.

## When to use it
- confirm a shop or product exists, with photo evidence
- run an app on a real device and get a written report
- judge tone and clarity of a draft before it ships
- collect data that needs someone physically present
- get human eyes on model output before production

## Example prompts
- List the services with `get_human_services` and tell me what a human can take on
- Submit a task to check whether delivery works at this address and give me the `task_id`
- Poll the task by `task_id` and show me the status history
