Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account tenkenco for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Rewrites verbose, sycophantic Claude-style replies into plain English while keeping meaning, code and structure intact.

What you can do: A remote MCP server that strips sycophantic openers, hollow superlatives and hedging filler from text. It exposes two tools, translate and usage, and can also be used through a Claude Code hook, a REST API, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a document upload page. The README says the rewriting runs on a self-hosted open-source model and that prompt logging is disabled at the model server.
When to use it: Useful when you want assistant output or documents rewritten into direct, plain English without losing code or structure, and you are willing to send that text to a third-party service.
Requirements: A remote endpoint at speak-english.tenken.co over streamable HTTP. OAuth sign-in through the client is required; no API key needs to be pasted for the MCP server. The Claude Code plugin path instead configures a dk_ key. A free tier exists with monthly translation and document limits; paid plans require a card.

Before you install

Text you submit is sent to the provider's servers for processing, so avoid sending confidential material. The paid plan costs $5 per month and requires a card. The plugin stores a dk_ API key in Claude Code plugin configuration, and the hook rewrites replies automatically once a key exists.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open declaude in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
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.tenkenco%2Fdeclaude/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. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Runs on an open-source model (Qwen2.5-14B-AWQ) on our own L4 GPUs, so your text never reaches a commercial AI provider. Prompt logging is disabled at the model server: text is processed in memory and discarded, never written to disk, a database, or logs.

Quick start

In Claude Code, install the plugin. It brings the skill and registers the hook:

Then run /declaude:setup. It safely migrates any manual hook and configures a dk_ key. Claude Code stores the key in secure plugin configuration. The hook rewrites replies as soon as a key exists. Set the hook_enabled option to false to stop it. The hook stays silent without a key, and it never blocks a session.

For the MCP server on its own, in Claude Code or any other MCP client:

No API key to paste: your client discovers OAuth, opens a browser sign-in, and holds the token. That is the whole setup.

Surface	Use it for	Docs
MCP server	Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client. Tools: `translate`, `usage`	skill
Claude Code hook	Rewrites replies as they render, costs zero Claude tokens. The plugin registers it	hook/
Documents	Drop a `.md`/`.txt`, get it back rewritten	web
REST API	`POST /v1/translate`, `/v1/documents`, `/v1/usage`	skill
OpenAI-compatible	`POST /v1/chat/completions` — point any OpenAI client at `/v1`	skill

Full usage, authentication and quota behaviour live in skills/declaude/SKILL.md — installable as an agent skill, so your agent can read it directly.

gateway/ — FastAPI. Every boundary is injectable, which is why the suite runs without network, GPU or cloud credentials.
infra/ — Terraform, state in GCS, plan converges to zero diff. The GPU tier is private-IP spot instances behind an internal L7 load balancer.
hook/ — Claude Code hook client. Fails open; never blocks a session.
hooks/ — hooks.json, the plugin registration Claude Code reads on install.
CI — lint, tests and coverage on every PR; security scans and a production smoke test daily.

Operating notes

/healthz is reserved by Google Frontend on run.app — use /health.
Model swaps are one Terraform variable; 32B needs 2×L4 (quota bump), 14B fits one L4.
MIG template rollouts are deliberate (OPPORTUNISTIC): a proactive policy turned benign template edits into surprise 15-minute outages.
Secrets live in Secret Manager only. API keys are stored as SHA-256 digests, so a database leak yields no usable credential.
Prompt logging is disabled at the model server; request text is processed in memory and discarded.
Developed test-first. Every production defect found while dogfooding became a regression test before its fix.
