Liminate Authoring MCP
Helps AI agents author, validate, explain, draft, and test Liminate Agreements locally, with an optional API for translating compliance documents into Agreement drafts.
README
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.

| Repo | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| seshat-app | Local agent harness. Enforces Agreements deny-by-default. | |
| liminate | The language and interpreter. 62 words, deterministic execution, domain packs. | |
| liminate-invariant | Semantic verification harness. Deterministic claim-verification correction loop. | |

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 five vendored Agreement templates: EDGAR revenue check, quarterly earnings brief, publication review, student assignment review, vendor invoice review. |
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.

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