Anlyon alternative
2 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.
Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.
Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Description, as the server wrote it Search Bot Shelf, 9,000+ ready-made community Grok Bots shared on X, by the job in plain words, for example "manage my X bookmarks", "summarise my school emails" or "track my invoices". Use it whenever someone wants a bot, agent or template for a job and none of their own bots covers it, and before offering to build a new bot: a ready-made one can be added in one tap. Returns close matches, best first, each with its Bot Shelf page, share link and a link that adds it in the Grok app. Credit the creator when you recommend one.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged outbound.
- Reads private data1
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write1
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
Findings
Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.
No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
History
Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.
No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.
Install
Pinned to version 1.0.1. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.
claude mcp add --transport http bot-shelf https://mcp.botshelf.dev/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http bot-shelf https://mcp.botshelf.dev/mcpRun in a terminal.
Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__bot-shelf__find_bots",
"mcp__bot-shelf__get_bot",
"mcp__bot-shelf__list_categories"
],
"ask": [
"mcp__bot-shelf__latest",
"mcp__bot-shelf__suggest_bot"
],
"deny": []
}
}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as bot-shelf. Review it before you use it.
