Silex Gambling Help's hosted MCP server (silex-help.trysilex.workers.dev); no sign-in required; Streamable HTTP.

No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.

Endpoint
silex-help.trysilex.workers.dev

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Silex Gambling Help in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.ppingui%2Fsilex-help/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

stop-gambling

Gambling help from your terminal: free helplines checked by hand, your country's official self-exclusion scheme, a check against about 294,000 gambling and betting domains, the PGSI self-check, and step-by-step plans to block gambling on iPhone, Android and at the bank.

Made by Silex, the quit-gambling app. No account, no key, and nothing you look up is stored.

If you are in immediate danger or thinking about suicide, call your local emergency number now.

bash
npx stop-gambling helplines

Commands

bash
stop-gambling helplines [country]       # free, confidential lines; defaults to your locale's countrystop-gambling self-exclude <country>    # GAMSTOP, OASIS, RGIAJ, ANJ, Spelpaus, ROFUS, BetStop…stop-gambling check <site…>             # is it a gambling site? exit code 1 if any isstop-gambling self-check                # the PGSI, 9 questions, interactivestop-gambling block <iphone|android|bank>stop-gambling mcp                       # use the same tools from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Add --json to any command for machine-readable output. Country is an ISO code (GB, US, DE) or an English name ("New Zealand").

console
$ stop-gambling check bet365.com sports.stake.com wikipedia.org  ✗ bet365.com  gambling  ✗ sports.stake.com  gambling (matches stake.com)  ✓ wikipedia.org  not on the list

check - reads sites from stdin, so it works in scripts:

bash
cat visited-domains.txt | stop-gambling check - --json

self-check --answers 2,1,2,0,2,1,1,1,2 scores nine answers (0 never … 3 almost always) without the prompts.

As a library

js
import { checkSites, findHelp, findSelfExclusion, selfCheck, blockGambling } from "stop-gambling";
const { results } = await checkSites(["bet365.com", "example.org"]);const help = await findHelp("GB");

Node 18 or later. No dependencies.

How it works

Every command calls the public, read-only Silex Help MCP server, the same one behind the Silex plugin for ChatGPT. It keeps no logs of what you ask (privacy policy, section 15). Only the country or the sites you pass are sent.

  • Helplines and self-exclusion schemes are checked by hand against official sources and re-checked with every release.
  • The PGSI is the Problem Gambling Severity Index (Ferris & Wynne, 2001). It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
  • The domain list is the one the Silex app and the free Silex browser extension block. It is derived from The Blocklist Project (public domain) and the UT1 blacklists of Université Toulouse Capitole (CC BY-SA 4.0). A site missing from it is not proof a site is safe; report misses to [email protected].

Silex is not medical care and does not diagnose or treat any condition.

Licence

The code is MIT. The domain-list data stays under its own licences, above.

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 daysRequired25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declaredRequired10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
