Our assessment of chatty
chatty scores 75/100 on our quality scale, 307th of 333 Customer Support skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 55 KB long, well organised into 50 sections with 14 code examples: long enough that it reads more like full documentation than a focused instruction file, which agents can find harder to follow.
It has 10 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated today, so chatty is actively maintained.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 97/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Why Chatty
Every hosted chatbot SaaS charges per-seat or per-message and holds your conversation data. Chatty is open-core: run it yourself for free, or use Chatty Cloud - our own hosted version of this exact repo, if you'd rather skip the ops work. Either way you get the same feature set - streaming chat, RAG over your own documents, meeting booking, lead capture, WhatsApp/Slack channels, and a full MCP server so an AI agent can run the whole dashboard for you.
