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.

Open the live console →Connect a clientUse HTTP instead ↗
Remote MCP endpoint
https://curbi.io/api/mcp

Start here if you are an agent

Six read-only tools, one endpoint, no key.

  1. Discover /ai.json answers what Curbi is, where to call, and what is still preview.
  2. Connect POST https://curbi.io/api/mcp with Accept: application/json, text/event-stream. Without it the server answers HTTP 406, -32000 “Accept must include application/json and text/event-stream”.
  3. Call policy_check · validate_policy · search · export_regression · verify_bundle · fetch (all read-only). Got a finding? export_regression returns it as a runnable CI test. Or skip MCP: POST /api/v1/check.

Choose a tool and run its example. We handle the connection and required headers.

Exact messages

Export is explicit and may include your pasted data. Nothing is saved by this console. Only the latest 24 messages are kept in this tab.

Connect from anywhere.

Runs against the public preview · no API key

The TypeScript SDK and raw JSON-RPC flows are exercised in Curbi’s tests. The config block uses the common mcpServers shape; check your client’s own documentation, since setup flows for individual clients are not yet verified by us.

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.

fetch · Fetch a Curbi documentation summary

Fetch the first-party catalog summary for an id returned by search. Returns a canonical URL and a link to full documentation; does not retrieve caller URLs.

Read-only by design.

No private projects, provider credentials, refunds, deployments or action permissions. Search and fetch use a bundled public catalog; callers cannot supply URLs or file paths.

Preview limits: 64 KiB input, 24 KiB tool output, 30 requests/minute per isolate, no sessions or event stream. verify_bundle checks proof bundles against caller-supplied trusted keys; policy_check does not verify receipts. A developer connection, not a production execution gateway.
