Don't build it alone: what exists, who won, what nobody has, a merge plan, and who else works on it.
whoelse is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.

# 1 — add it to Claude Code

# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# load_profile, find_overlaps, joint_work_brief and 10 more
whoelse costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one runs on your machine: your client starts whoelse as a process under your own user, with your files and your network, so the tool surface below is what it can do to your computer rather than to a server somewhere else. Its scan result is on the Security tab — read the surface before you approve it.
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. You need uv (docs.astral.sh/uv): uvx comes with it. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The '--' is in quotes so that PowerShell passes it on.
claude mcp add --scope user whoelse-mcp '--' uvx whoelseReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Nothing is required, but it can take GITHUB_TOKEN (Optional. Raises GitHub search limits; public_repo scope needed for publish_request, start_joint_work and the watcher.), WHOELSE_OPENALEX_KEY (Optional. Free OpenAlex API key; without it you share a small per-IP daily budget.), WHOELSE_MAILTO (Optional. Your email for OpenAlex's polite pool; sent nowhere else.) if you want to set them.
One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.
13 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
Read from its source code. A server that builds its tool list when it starts can list more tools than this.
Build the user's profile from their public work (OpenAlex, arXiv, GitHub, Hugging Face, ORCID) and save it locally. name as it appears on their papers. Pass an ORCID iD to avoid picking a namesake; a GitHub login and a Hugging Face user add code and models.

Who else is working on this right now? Ranked list of people whose recent papers, code or models overlap the user's profile, with whatever contact they made public and a one-line reason for each. Candidates get an index for joint_work_brief / draft_outreach.

| name | string | yes | — |
| limit | integer | no | — |
| recent_months | integer | no | — |
| include_code | boolean | no | — |

For one candidate: the evidence of overlap, what each side has, the formats that fit (ranked by fit and effort), venues in common, and how to reach them. Use it to write a concrete proposal in the user's voice.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | — |
| candidate_index | integer | yes | — |
Facts and structure for the first message to one candidate. The host model writes the text; whoelse never sends it. format_id is one of the ids from joint_work_brief.

Stop following a peer.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |

What the user's peers published in the last N days (papers, repos, models, datasets), with concrete ways to support each. No automated stars or likes: the user decides.

Render the user's whoelse card. They publish it at https://<their site>/.well-known/whoelse.json and anyone running whoelse sees them as reachable, with what they're open to. No registry.

Profiles built so far and peers being followed.
Takes no parameters.
Join the network: publish what the user wants to build and with whom. This writes the user's NAME, EMAIL and ids into a PUBLIC GitHub repository (the registry), so pass confirmed=true only after the user has seen exactly that and agreed. From then on anyone who installs whoelse with the same…

Start the work before the first message: a workspace with the outline, section 1 drafted from both sides' published abstracts, the comparison table with published numbers, a reproduction skeleton pointing at both codebases, a 14-day plan, and both names on it.

Call this BEFORE building anything the user describes ("build me a tool that..."). What already exists on GitHub for this idea: the cluster of repositories that do the same job, the leader, a feature matrix (who has what, what only one has, what none has) and a one-sentence verdict. Hundreds of…

For a cluster of near-identical small repositories: a merge plan (the living leader as the base, what each one brings, every author a maintainer, a deadline) and the text of the issue each author would receive in their own repository. First call: returns the plan, the issue texts and a plan_id;…

Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install whoelse or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
| Term | Level | What it prices | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability-exposure | minimal | capability blast radius (minimal) — client exposure if the model is manipulated | −0 |
| verification-discount | source | publisher verification (provenance) — cryptographic build provenance ties the artifact to its source | −0 |
| coverage-honesty | source | inspection depth (source) — how much of the target the scan could see | −0 |
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.
Tools were statically extracted from the published source (13 recovered), not enumerated from a running server. Tool-poisoning, Unicode-smuggling, capability and toxic-flow analysis ran on this inferred surface, but a mis-parsed registration could be missed or mis-attributed, so tool-derived findings are capped below “confirmed”. To grade the real runtime surface, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. minimal is the level these add up to.
| Tool | Capability tags | Why the tag was assigned |
|---|---|---|
| load_profile | no tags | |
| find_overlaps | no tags | |
| joint_work_brief | no tags | |
| draft_outreach | no tags | |
| add_peer | no tags | |
| remove_peer | no tags | |

| make_card | no tags | |

The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.
This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
Always latest — the install command names no version, so it installs the newest release when it runs; the current release on file is 0.1.0. Pin a release below and the command asks for exactly that one.
No release note was published with this version.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish whoelse can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
