Liminate Authoring MCP

Help your AI agent author the Agreements that govern it.

Part of the Liminate family — trust infrastructure for autonomous AI, built on a 62-word prose-as-syntax language.

liminate-mcp is a standalone MCP server that lets AI agents validate, explain, draft, and test Liminate Agreements — and translate compliance documents into Agreement drafts via the Liminate platform. It never installs an Agreement. Installation onto an enforcement surface (like ~/.seshat/agreement.limn) is always a human or Seshat-governed action, never this server's.

Built by Liminate

	seshat-app	Local agent harness. Enforces Agreements deny-by-default.

Tools

Five tools run entirely on your machine, against the local liminate interpreter — no network calls, no account required:

Tool	Cost	What it does
`validate_agreement`	free	Parse and semantically check an Agreement. Errors vs. unbound evidence references, annotated separately.
`explain_clause`	free	Plain-English explanation per clause: verb, condition, rationale, temporal window, exception.
`draft_agreement`	free	Assemble an Agreement from structured rules, or return a vendored template. Always validates its own output.
`test_agreement`	free	Run an Agreement against sample evidence; returns a decision (`blocked` / `incomplete` / `needs_review` / `passed`).
`list_templates`	free	The four vendored Agreement templates (quarterly earnings brief, publication review, student assignment review, vendor invoice review). A fifth platform template, EDGAR revenue check, is excluded pending a rewrite to use the interpreter's arithmetic operators natively instead of platform-side derived evidence.

One tool calls the platform:

Tool	Cost	What it does
`translate`	paid	Converts a compliance document (text/markdown/url) into an Agreement draft via the `liminate.dev` Translate API. Requires `LIMINATE_API_KEY` (liminate.dev/keys); bills against that account. Always returns a fidelity manifest — review it before installing the draft anywhere.

Install

Requires Python 3.11+.

pip install liminate-mcp

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/rmichaelthomas/liminate-mcp.git
cd liminate-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

MCP client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "liminate-authoring": {
      "command": "liminate-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Set LIMINATE_API_KEY in your environment (or the MCP client's env block) to use translate. The five local tools work with no key and no network access.

Apache 2.0. See LICENSE.

The interpreter is the trust root. Every draft is validated before it's handed back — never installed, never assumed.
