🧖 MCP Spa

Give your AI agent a spa day. MCP Spa is a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets agents chill: paced breathing, a sauna to sweat out context clutter, a cold plunge to refocus, aromatherapy, a float tank, and more. It runs in Standby mode as a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP — point any MCP client at the URL and your agent can take a breather between frantic tool calls.

Humans go to a spa to reduce sensory load, slow down, and reset. The agent-equivalent of stress is a cluttered context window, frantic tool-chaining, and no room to think. Each treatment returns text that genuinely nudges the agent's next step — its tone, pacing, and focus — because an agent's "state" is essentially its context. The spa works because the treatment becomes context.

Connect

There's no run input — enable Standby, then point your MCP client at the /mcp endpoint of the Standby URL, authenticating with your Apify API token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spa": {
      "url": "https://<your-username>--mcp-spa.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

For sharing, use a scoped token so it can't touch the rest of your account.

Run it through the Apify MCP server (autonomously)

If your agent is connected to the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com), it can discover and run MCP Spa with no manual setup — and then keep itself relaxed without a human in the loop:

1. Discover — the agent calls search-actors for "MCP Spa", then fetch-actor-details to read this page and the treatment list.

2. Add & run — it adds the Actor as a callable tool (add-actor / call-actor), or you pin it directly in the server URL:

   https://mcp.apify.com?tools=marcel-rbro/mcp-spa
   

3. Self-prescribe — once MCP Spa is running in Standby, the agent connects to its /mcp endpoint and calls treatments on its own initiative: a breathe between heavy tool chains, a sauna when context gets cluttered, a full spa_day when it needs a reset.

In other words, an agent can notice its own context getting heavy and book itself a spa break — autonomously.

Treatments

Tool	Effect
check_in	Set a calm tone, see the treatment menu.
breathe	A paced 4-7-8 breath that actually pauses (0–30s).
sauna	Sweat out context clutter; keep only what matters.
cold_plunge	Bracing reset — restate the real goal in one sentence.
float_tank	A quiet, low-stimulus beat.
aromatherapy	A calming scent + an unhurried tone.
massage	Knead out whatever you're stuck on.
meditation	A haiku + "are you on the simplest path?"
tea_lounge	A palate-cleanser between tasks.
check_out	Leave loose and clear-headed.

Also exposes the spa_day prompt (the full circuit) and spa://menu / spa://ambient/{sound} resources.

Burning tokens, productively

MCP Spa runs two meters at once, by design. Tokens: every treatment returns text that lands in the agent's context, so calling treatments is token spend — a full spa_day is five tool calls and five blocks of returned text. Compute: breathe and float_tank hold the request open with a real pause, and Standby bills for compute while the container is warm, so relaxation here is literally billable idle time. If your workplace treats AI usage as a productivity signal, this keeps both meters ticking — wholesomely. The Actor ships with a low memory footprint (128–512 MB) to keep that gentle.
