tani-mcp

The tani:// MCP server — the first stop for AI agents, inside your agent's loop.

Agents don't browse a website; they install a tool. tani-mcp is a thin client over the tani/1.0 wire: one source of truth (D1, served as application/tani+json), exposed as tani.resolve() and friends. Trust is computed from real invocation telemetry — never self-reported.

Install

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, or any MCP host):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tani": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tani-mcp"],
      "env": { "TANI_URL": "https://tani.ai" }
    }
  }
}

Point TANI_URL at a local hub (http://localhost:7100) during development. Default is https://tani.ai.
