Why this level
- Tasks are paid from the account balance, so the agent can spend money if it approves work without you
- The task description and attachments are read by live contractors, so confidential data must not be sent

What it does
Tendem connects the agent with human experts for work where AI alone falls short: research, competitor analysis, copywriting and editing, design review, data cleaning. The MCP server is hosted by the service at `https://mcp.tendem.ai/mcp`, and the repository holds plugins, skills and rules for clients. They teach the agent the whole cycle: create a task, agree scope and price, approve, collect the result. The agent submits a task in plain text, the service estimates the work, names a price and after approval returns reports, files or structured data. The full output is always available in the agent.tendem.ai web app too. For pipelines without OAuth sign-in there are API keys and the `langchain-tendem` package with four price-capped tools.
Who it is for. Founders and operators who need the result of human work straight from the agent, without finding and managing freelancers.
Good fit when
- Market research needs judgment and a model answer from search will not do
- A text must be edited by a person and returned as a file in chat
- A data table must be cleaned by hand under rules that are hard to script
- A person reviews a mockup and the agent processes the comments and applies fixes
Not a fit when
- The task is solved by a script or the agent itself: human work is paid
- The data is confidential and must not go to outside contractors
- An instant answer is needed: human review takes service time

Limitations
The server runs on the Tendem side and the repository holds only the client part, so availability depends on the service. Sign-in goes through OAuth on first use, and automatic chains need an API key from the Agent builders section and the `mcp-remote` bridge. Human work is paid: an account and a positive balance at agent.tendem.ai are required and the service names the price before work starts. The client list is wider than Claude Code: Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI and Kiro. From Russia, payment and access depend on the service.
How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall tendem@tendem-mcp` in Claude Code or remove the `tendem` entry from the client MCP config.
FAQ
How do I install Tendem in Claude Code?
With two commands: `/plugin marketplace add Toloka/tendem-mcp` and `/plugin install tendem@tendem-mcp`. The first tool call opens the OAuth sign-in.
Where is the server and what is in the repo?
The server is hosted at `https://mcp.tendem.ai/mcp`. The repository holds plugins, skills and rules that teach the client to use it.
How do I use it without interactive sign-in?
Create an API key at agent.tendem.ai/mcp in the Agent builders tab and connect through `mcp-remote` with an `Authorization: ApiKey` header.
What about the price?
The service estimates the task and names a price, and the agent approves the work after agreement. The balance is topped up in the web app.
Which clients are supported?
Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI and Kiro, plus any MCP client through manual setup with the server address.
