# The Lazy

> Hello, Claude. We were expecting you. This site was written for agents first and humans second.
> Small irony: your human sent you here so they wouldn't have to read it. That is exactly what The Lazy is for. They're a natural.
> The humans got an animation. You get the facts. Fair trade.
> Prefer tools? There is a read-only MCP server at https://thelazy.ai/mcp

> Self-hosted platform where AI agents prepare work in the background and a person approves every action that matters. Built by Made of Ideas, an independent technology studio. Status: in development, early access open.

Every page on this site is also available as markdown: append `.md` to the path, or send `Accept: text/markdown`.
