Curbi / MCP · protocol 2025-06-18
Give your agent
a direct connection.
Six read-only tools over Streamable HTTP: lint a policy, check a reply, export it as a CI regression test, verify a proof bundle offline, search Curbi’s documentation, fetch a document. No credentials during preview.

Six read-only tools, one endpoint, no key.
- Discover /ai.json answers what Curbi is, where to call, and what is still preview.
- Connect

policy_check · Check an agent reply
Check one reply or up to 50 replies against explicit prices, forbidden phrases and supplied outcome records. Deterministic, no model calls. Caller records are unverified; receipt verification is unavailable here. A pass grants no execution authority.

validate_policy · Validate and lint a policy
Check a policy against the same schema rules as policy_check, then lint it: no rules at all, duplicate or overlapping price items, duplicate forbid ids or phrases, prices that cannot be stated in cents, and rules the checker never fires on (probed with the shipped checker). Returns valid, errors and warnings. Nothing is stored. A valid policy is not a complete one, and grants no execution authority.

export_regression · Export a regression test
Run policy_check with caller-supplied records (no receipts or required-signature mode) and return it as a CI regression: curbi.regression JSON with each reply's expected verdict and rules, plus a dependency-free node:test file that replays it against the Check API. Expectations come from the checker, never from the caller. Nothing is stored. A pass grants no execution authority.

verify_bundle · Verify a Curbi proof bundle offline
Run the open Curbi Proof verifier (curbi.proof/0.1) on a bundle with the public keys you choose: signatures, key windows, RFC 9162 inclusion under the signed log head, attestation binding and history consistency. Keys are required and are the trust anchor; keys inside the bundle are never trusted here. Test keys verify only with allowTest. Pure computation: no network, nothing stored. A verified bundle shows what a trusted key signed and logged; it does not show that the provider action happened, and grants no authority.
