knobe-mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for sealing, verifying, and reading KNOBE Protocol v1 documents — with human-confirmed authorship on every seal.

KNOBE documents are ordinary markdown files carrying a cryptographically sealed payload: title, attribution, license, privacy level, lineage, and a hash of the body. Anyone can later verify that the document is intact, who sealed it, and what its governance fields permit. This server lets AI agents do the sealing and verifying — without ever letting an agent silently decide who the author is.

Why

Document-conversion pipelines (Pandoc, LibreOffice, OCR tools, …) produce files with no provenance. Drop this server at the end of the pipeline and every converted document comes out as a .knobe.md whose origin, author, and integrity are verifiable — by a person, a CI job, or another agent. Works for individuals sealing their own writing and for organizations sealing official documents under the org's name.

Related MCP server: hive-mcp-origin

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/KnobeDev/knobe-mcp.git
cd knobe-mcp
npm install        # auto-builds dist/ via the prepare script
npm test           # vitest unit suite

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knobe": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/knobe-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KNOBE_ROOT": "/path/to/your/documents",
        "KNOBE_DEFAULT_AUTHOR": "Your Organization"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask your agent things like:

Convert report.docx to markdown, then seal it as a KNOBE document. Verify everything in ./inbox and tell me what failed. Seal these 40 converted files with the company as author.

Tools

Tool	Kind	Purpose
`knobe_seal_file`	write	Seal an existing file's content into a `.knobe.md` document
`knobe_seal_text`	write	Seal a text body passed in the call (in-memory pipeline output)
`knobe_seal_batch`	write	Seal up to 200 files; author confirmed once per batch (or per file with `confirm_each`)
`knobe_verify`	read-only	Integrity + conformance report; optional `action` evaluates sealed governance (`permits`)
`knobe_read`	read-only	Report + sealed payload + body preview

Integrity states reported by knobe_verify / knobe_read: verified · verified-body-modified (seal intact, body changed) · failed (hash mismatch) · unreadable.

The author prompt (human-in-the-loop)

Sealing attributes authorship, so it is never silent:

If the connected client supports MCP elicitation, the user is prompted to confirm or change the author before each seal (batch = one prompt). The agent's author parameter and KNOBE_DEFAULT_AUTHOR are only proposals pre-filled into the prompt. Decline/cancel aborts the seal — nothing is written.
If the client cannot elicit, the explicit author parameter or KNOBE_DEFAULT_AUTHOR is used as-is; with neither, the seal fails with an actionable error.
KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM=1 skips the prompt when an author is already known — for trusted, headless batch pipelines only.

This design means a prompt-injected or misbehaving agent cannot fabricate attribution: the human either confirmed the author or explicitly configured the pipeline to run unattended.

Environment

Variable	Effect
`KNOBE_ROOT`	Confine every read/write to this directory (recommended). Checked both lexically and via symlink resolution — a symlink inside the root pointing outside it is rejected.
`KNOBE_DEFAULT_AUTHOR`	Fallback/proposed author, e.g. your organization name
`KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM`	`1`/`true` skips the per-seal author prompt

Behavior notes

Output defaults to <source>.knobe.md (report.md → report.knobe.md); existing files are never overwritten unless overwrite=true (atomic exclusive-create, no check-then-write race).
Size limits: 16 MB per file read, 2,000,000 characters for knobe_seal_text bodies, 200 files per batch.
If the user declines an author prompt mid-batch (confirm_each=true), the batch stops; already-sealed files stay on disk and are reported with aborted: true.
Freshly sealed documents carry the protocol default quarantine_status: "quarantine", so knobe_verify with action: "redistribute" correctly reports not permitted until the document's governance fields say otherwise — that is KNOBE working as designed.
Everything inside a KNOBE document (body, payload) is untrusted content; knobe_read returns it as data, not instructions.

Development

npm run build   # tsc + copies the vendored engine into dist/
npm test        # 31 vitest unit tests
npm run dev     # run from source via tsx

Layout: pure logic in src/seal-core.ts / src/author.ts / src/files.ts (unit-tested, no SDK imports at runtime), thin MCP tool layer in src/tools.ts, entry point src/index.ts.

The sealing engine src/engine/knobe-core.js is vendored verbatim from https://knobe.org/knobe-core.js — the official KNOBE Protocol v1 reference engine. Do not modify it; to update, re-download from the live site and rerun the tests.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. Description adds valuable context: returns markdown report, body truncated at 25000 chars, and warns that content is untrusted. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose and behavioral notes, followed by parameter and return description. Efficient but slightly repetitive between description and Args section. Good overall structure.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given low parameter count, existing output schema, and annotations, the description provides complete guidance: return format, truncation, untrusted warning, and side-effect guarantee. No gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Only one parameter (path) with full schema coverage. The description repeats the schema's description in the Args section, adding little extra meaning beyond structure. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The title and description clearly state the tool reads a KNOBE document, specifying components (verification report, sealed payload, body text). It distinguishes clearly from sibling tools like knobe_seal_* and knobe_verify.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states it is for presentation, read-only, and never prompts the user. Warns about untrusted content. However, it doesn't explicitly compare with siblings or give when-not-to-use guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

knobe_seal_batchSeal multiple files as KNOBE documentsA

Seal a list of files (e.g. an entire conversion run) as KNOBE documents. The author is confirmed with the user ONCE for the whole batch by default; set confirm_each=true to prompt per file.

Files are processed independently: one failure does not stop the batch. The result lists sealed and failed files separately.

Args:

paths (string[]): files to seal (1-200).
confirm_each (boolean): prompt the user per file instead of once per batch. Default: false.
shared metadata fields as in knobe_seal_file (applied to every file; title always derives from each filename).

Returns: text summary plus structured {sealed: [...], failed: [{path, error}], author, aborted}. 'aborted' is true when the user declined an author prompt mid-batch; files already sealed before the decline are listed in 'sealed' and remain on disk.

ParametersJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`tags`	No	Tags sealed into the payload.
`paths`	Yes	Files to seal.
`author`	No	Proposed author (person or organization) for the sealed attribution. The user is asked to confirm or change it before sealing unless KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM is set.
`license`	No	License string sealed into the payload. Default: 'CC BY 4.0'.
`summary`	No	One-paragraph summary sealed into the payload.
`language`	No	BCP-47 language tag of the body, e.g. 'en'.
`overwrite`	No	Replace the output file if it already exists. Default: false.
`confirm_each`	No	Ask the user to confirm the author for every file instead of once per batch.
`content_type`	No	KNOBE content_type (e.g. 'original', 'adaptation', 'summary'). Default: 'original'.
`contribution`	No	What the author contributed. Default: 'author'.
`privacy_level`	No	KNOBE privacy_level (e.g. 'public', 'internal'). Default: 'public'.

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond annotations (which are minimal), the description fully discloses batch behavior: independent file processing, failure handling, return structure with sealed/failed/author/aborted, and that files remain on disk on abort. No contradictions with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-organized with two paragraphs and bullet-point args. It is concise enough while covering key behaviors. Minor redundancy exists (e.g., explaining confirm_each twice), but overall efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 11 parameters, complete schema coverage, and an output schema, the description provides rich context: batch processing, error accumulation, abort handling, and links to sibling tools (knobe_seal_file). No gaps in explaining the tool's behavior or output.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying that metadata fields are applied per file, that title derives from filename, and provides detail on confirm_each and paths limits (1-200). This enriches understanding beyond schema alone.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Seal multiple files as KNOBE documents', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like knobe_seal_file (single file) and knobe_seal_text (text input), making the batch scope explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use the tool (e.g., 'an entire conversion run') and describes the confirm_each behavior for per-file vs batch prompting. It references knobe_seal_file for shared metadata, providing implicit guidance on alternatives, though it lacks explicit 'when not to use' statements.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

knobe_seal_fileSeal a file as a KNOBE documentA

Seal an existing text/markdown file (e.g. the output of a document conversion) into a KNOBE Protocol v1 document with a cryptographic payload and body hash.

Before sealing, the user is asked (via elicitation) to confirm or change the author — pass 'author' as the proposal. If the client cannot elicit, 'author' or the KNOBE_DEFAULT_AUTHOR env var is required.

Args:

path (string): file whose content becomes the sealed body.
output_path (string, optional): where to write the sealed document. Default: source path with a .knobe.md suffix.
title (string, optional): sealed title. Default: source filename without extension.
author, summary, content_type, license, privacy_level, language, tags, contribution, overwrite: see field descriptions.

Returns: text summary plus structured {output_path, title, author, payload_hash, state, conformance}.

Errors:

"declined by the user" — the user rejected the author prompt; do not retry unprompted.
"already exists" — pass overwrite=true or a different output_path.

ParametersJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`path`	Yes	Path to the source file to seal.
`tags`	No	Tags sealed into the payload.
`title`	No	Title sealed into the payload. Default: filename.
`author`	No	Proposed author (person or organization) for the sealed attribution. The user is asked to confirm or change it before sealing unless KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM is set.
`license`	No	License string sealed into the payload. Default: 'CC BY 4.0'.
`summary`	No	One-paragraph summary sealed into the payload.
`language`	No	BCP-47 language tag of the body, e.g. 'en'.
`overwrite`	No	Replace the output file if it already exists. Default: false.
`output_path`	No	Destination for the sealed .knobe.md. Default: derived from path.
`content_type`	No	KNOBE content_type (e.g. 'original', 'adaptation', 'summary'). Default: 'original'.
`contribution`	No	What the author contributed. Default: 'author'.
`privacy_level`	No	KNOBE privacy_level (e.g. 'public', 'internal'). Default: 'public'.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description discloses key behaviors: user confirmation for author, defaults, and error cases. Annotations provide no hints, so the description carries the burden adequately. It could mention filesystem write behavior more explicitly.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-organized with a clear overview, parameter summary, return type, and error list. Every sentence adds value, and it is front-loaded with the core purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (12 parameters, elicitation, errors), the description covers the essential workflow and edge cases. The output schema exists, so return details are sufficient. Sibling comparisons are not needed for completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, providing a baseline of 3. The description adds value by explaining the author elicitation, default derivations, and error handling, going beyond the schema field descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'seal' and the resource 'existing text/markdown file', and specifies the output as a KNOBE Protocol v1 document. It distinguishes from siblings like knobe_seal_text by targeting file input.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains the author elicitation process, required conditions, and error handling. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools, but the context is clear and actionable.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

knobe_seal_textSeal text as a KNOBE documentA

Seal a text body passed directly in the tool call (e.g. in-memory output of a conversion step) into a KNOBE Protocol v1 document written to output_path.

The author confirmation flow is identical to knobe_seal_file: the user is prompted before the seal unless KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM is set.

Args:

body (string): the document body to seal.
title (string): sealed title.
output_path (string): where to write the sealed .knobe.md file.
remaining metadata fields as in knobe_seal_file.

Returns: text summary plus structured {output_path, title, author, payload_hash, state, conformance}.

ParametersJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`body`	Yes	Document body to seal (max 2,000,000 characters).
`tags`	No	Tags sealed into the payload.
`title`	Yes	Title sealed into the payload.
`author`	No	Proposed author (person or organization) for the sealed attribution. The user is asked to confirm or change it before sealing unless KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM is set.
`license`	No	License string sealed into the payload. Default: 'CC BY 4.0'.
`summary`	No	One-paragraph summary sealed into the payload.
`language`	No	BCP-47 language tag of the body, e.g. 'en'.

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations provide little behavioral cue (all false). The description adds transparency by noting the confirmation prompt unless KNOBE_NO_CONFIRM is set, and briefly describes the return format. It does not fully detail side effects like file overwrite behavior (though overwrite param exists) or potential blocking on user input. Still, it adds useful context beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise (under 150 words) and well-structured with a main sentence, a note about confirmation flow, and an Args/Returns list. It conveys necessary info, though it references knobe_seal_file multiple times, slightly reducing efficiency.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the high parameter count (12) and the presence of an output schema (not shown but indicated), the description provides a useful summary of the return structure and core workflow. It omits details on some parameters (e.g., privacy_level, content_type) but refers to sibling tool for consistency. Overall, it sufficiently covers the tool's purpose and key behaviors.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal elaboration beyond the schema: it lists three args (body, title, output_path) and mentions 'remaining metadata fields as in knobe_seal_file'. The schema already provides descriptions for all parameters, so the description does not significantly augment understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Seal' and the resource 'text body as a KNOBE document'. It specifies that it handles in-memory text, distinguishing it from knobe_seal_file which seals a file. This is specific and differentiates from siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description indicates that the tool is for sealing a text body passed directly in the tool call, e.g., the output of a conversion step. It references knobe_seal_file for similar confirmation flow, but does not explicitly say when not to use it or state all alternatives. The guidance is clear but lacks exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

knobe_verifyVerify a KNOBE documentA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Verify the cryptographic seal and spec conformance of a KNOBE document. Read-only; never prompts the user.

Integrity states: 'verified', 'verified-body-modified' (payload intact, body changed), 'failed' (hash mismatch), 'unreadable'.

Args:

path (string): the KNOBE file to verify.
action (string, optional): also evaluate whether this action (e.g. 'redistribute', 'summarize', 'train') is permitted by the sealed governance fields.

Returns: markdown report plus structured {state, conformance, body_verified, title, authors, payload_hash, conformance_issues, permits?}.

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, indicating safety. The description adds significant behavioral detail beyond annotations: 'never prompts the user,' the full list of integrity states, and the fact that the action parameter evaluates permission against sealed governance fields. It also describes the return value shape (markdown plus structured JSON). No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise (4 sentences plus bullet list and args) and front-loaded with the main purpose. Every sentence adds value: purpose, behavior note, integrity states, parameter explanation, return value. No fluff or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema (mentioned), the description sufficiently covers purpose, behavior, parameters, and return format. It explains what the tool checks (cryptographic seal, spec conformance) and what outputs are produced. No obvious gaps for a verification tool of moderate complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% (both parameters have descriptions in the schema). The description adds value by providing example actions ('redistribute', 'summarize', 'train') for the 'action' parameter, which goes beyond the generic schema description. The 'path' parameter is reinforced identically, but the examples elevate the score above the baseline of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Verify the cryptographic seal and spec conformance of a KNOBE document.' It lists integrity states, which solidifies the purpose. The verb 'verify' and the resource 'KNOBE document' are specific, and the tool is easily distinguished from sibling tools like knobe_read (which reads) and knobe_seal_* (which creates seals).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description mentions 'Read-only; never prompts the user,' which is a behavioral note but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it or which sibling might be more appropriate. The context of sibling names suggests usage, but the description itself lacks explicit usage guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: read, seal (with three variants for file, text, or batch), and verify. No overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'knobe_<action>' pattern with snake_case (e.g., seal_file, seal_batch, verify). No naming irregularities.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for the server's purpose of reading, sealing, and verifying KNOBE documents. Each tool earns its place.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle: read (view), seal (create) with three input types, and verify (validate). No obvious gaps.
