Qiniso

The deterministic fact-verification layer for AI agents.

Verified, trustworthy data tools for AI agents. "Qiniso" means "truth" in Zulu.

Agents confidently emit IBANs, phone numbers, domains, VAT numbers and crypto addresses that are subtly — and silently — wrong. Qiniso checks the structured facts an agent produces against checksums and curated authoritative data, so a bad value is caught instead of trusted.

It's the deterministic complement to the guardrail stack: security guardrails check whether output is safe, structure guardrails check it's well-formed, and hallucination guardrails ask another LLM if it's faithful to the prompt. None of them check whether a structured fact is actually correct against the real world — because that needs computation or curated data, not another model's opinion. That's Qiniso.

On arbitrary identifiers, a frontier LLM validates them wrong ~91% of the time, cold and silently. Qiniso: 0%.

Stateless, reads no user data, requires no secrets.

Use it as a library

Every check is also a typed function — no MCP required:

npm i @qinisolabs/qiniso

import { validateIban, validateVat } from "@qinisolabs/qiniso";

validateIban("GB82 WEST 1234 5698 7654 32");
// { valid: true, country: "United Kingdom", ... }

What it verifies — 34 tools across 8 domains

Domain	Tools
Identifiers	IBAN, payment card (Luhn + brand), ISBN-13, VIN, GTIN/UPC/EAN barcodes (+ GS1 country)
Web / network	TLD & domain (IANA root zone), IP, UUID, URL, email
Finance	ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL, LEI, US ABA routing
Crypto	Ethereum (EIP-55), Bitcoin (Base58Check / Bech32) addresses
National & tax IDs	Brazil CPF/CNPJ, South Africa ID, Spain DNI/NIE, India Aadhaar, EU/UK VAT
Academic	ISBN-10, ISSN, ORCID
Locale	Phone (global), date parsing, currency, holidays (~200 countries), UK VAT-by-date
Addresses	UK/US address parsing

Each tool wraps an authoritative method — a published checksum standard, an audited library (libphonenumber-js, jsvat, date-holidays, @noble/hashes), or curated reference data (the IANA root zone, UK VAT history).

What it is not

• Not a live-data provider. It verifies facts you give it; it does not return the current time, weather, or live exchange rates.
• Not a credential sink. It never asks for secrets or API keys. (For JWT signature verification, use a library in your own runtime so the secret never leaves your machine.)
• Not a registration check. It validates a VAT number's checksum, not whether it is live-registered (VIES); it confirms a domain's TLD is real, not that the domain is registered.

Architecture

A TypeScript monorepo. Each domain is a typed library in packages/*; the qiniso umbrella aggregates them and exposes one MCP server over three transports — stdio (local / npx), Streamable HTTP (self-host), and a Cloudflare Worker (the hosted edge endpoint). The same core powers the importable library.
