Liminate Authoring MCP
The Liminate Authoring MCP server helps AI agents author, validate, test, and understand Liminate Agreements — structured governance documents that control what agents are permitted to do.
validate_agreement: Parse and semantically check a Liminate Agreement, returning parse/semantic errors, unbound evidence references, and a per-rule deontic analysis (permit/forbid/require/define).explain_clause: Break down each clause into plain English, detailing the verb, condition, rationale, temporal window (active/expired/future/unbounded), and any exceptions.draft_agreement: Assemble a new Agreement from structured rules (verb, condition, reason, unless, starting, until) or retrieve a vendored template by ID. Output is always validated before being returned.test_agreement: Run an Agreement against sample evidence to get a decision:blocked,incomplete(missing evidence),needs_review, orpassed.list_templates: Discover available vendored templates (e.g., EDGAR revenue check, quarterly earnings brief, publication review, student assignment review, vendor invoice review), including their source and sample evidence.translate(paid, requiresLIMINATE_API_KEY): Convert a compliance document (plain text, markdown, or URL) into an Agreement draft via the Liminate platform API, returning a fidelity manifest for human review before any installation.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Liminate Authoring MCPvalidate my agreement file agreement.limn"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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 61-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.
