Tools to eliminate AI slop from text
Model Context Protocol server with tools to detect and eliminate AI slop from text. Based on expert annotations from NLP writers and philosophers analyzing AI-generated text patterns.
Low-quality AI text characterized by:
- Information Utility: Low content density, irrelevant filler, factual errors
- Style Quality: Repetitive structures, corporate clichés ("delve into", "leverage")
- Structure: Excessive verbosity, poor coherence, formulaic patterns
Research foundation: arXiv:2509.19163v1
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

}Restart your client after configuration!
Get comprehensive anti-slop writing rules tailored to your context.
Parameters:
context(optional): Writing type (e.g., "technical blog", "email", "docs")
Example:
Get writing rules for a technical blog post
Analyze text for AI slop indicators across three dimensions.
Parameters:
text(required): The text to analyze
Example:
Check this for slop: "In today's digital landscape, it's important to
note that we should leverage cutting-edge solutions to deliver a
seamless user experience..."
Returns:
⚠️ AI Slop Analysis
- Overused Phrases: Found AI clichés - landscape, it's important to note,
leverage, cutting-edge, seamless
- Verbosity: Overly long sentences (avg 28.5 words)
- Word Complexity: Unnecessarily formal - "utilize" → "use"
Recommendation: Revise to be more concise, direct, and natural.
Get categorized examples of AI slop patterns to avoid.
Parameters:
category(optional):"phrases","structure","tone", or"all"
Example:
Show me phrase examples to avoid
- "delve into" → "explore"
- "leverage" → "use"
- "it's important to note" → just state it
- "robust", "seamless", "holistic", "paradigm shift"
- "cutting-edge", "game changer", "synergy"
- Repetitive sentence starts (same word 3+ times)
- Excessive bullet points and lists
- Overly formal language for casual contexts
- Long sentences (>25 words average)
- Low lexical density (<40% unique words)
Text analyzed across three weighted dimensions:
- Information Utility (β=0.06) - Content density, relevance
- Style Quality (β=0.05) - Repetition, coherence, naturalness
- Structure (β=0.05) - Verbosity, bias, flow
- Node.js 18+
- TypeScript 5.6+
- npm or pnpm

stdio Transport (Local/Claude Desktop):
- Direct process communication
- Low latency, persistent connection
- Best for local development
- Entry:
dist/index.js
Streamable HTTP Transport (Vercel/Web):
- POST-only mode (MCP 2024-11-05 spec)
- Fully stateless, serverless-optimized
- No SSE (Vercel 60s timeout limitation)
- Auto-scaling on demand
- Endpoint:
/api/mcp
- Runtime: TypeScript 5.6+ with Node.js ESM modules
- Validation: Zod schemas for type safety
- Linting: Ultracite (Biome-powered)
- MCP SDK:
@modelcontextprotocol/sdkv1.19+ - Deployment: Vercel serverless functions
npm install
vercel deploy --prodYour MCP endpoint: https://your-project.vercel.app/api/mcp
None required! Server works out of the box.

- NLP researchers and writers
- Professional philosophers
- Industry content creators
Key Findings:
- Relevance (β=0.06) - Most significant slop indicator
- Content Density (β=0.05) - Substantive vs. filler content
- Natural Tone (β=0.05) - Conversational vs. robotic voice
- Human perception correlation: AUROC 0.52-0.55
