# MCP server

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client to Klarify's Compliance Status API.

Package

@klarify/mcp — studio MCP server in the Klarify monorepo (packages/mcp).

Build from source:

git clone https://github.com/chuta/klarify.git
cd klarify
pnpm install
pnpm --filter @klarify/mcp build

Tools (Phase 1)

Tool	Auth	Description
`get_compliance_status`	Founder share token	Live compliance snapshot — Readiness Score, fundraise risk, checklist %, licensing, top gaps
`get_klarify_api_info`	None	Static metadata — API URLs, OpenAPI link, VASP categories, docs

Phase 2 (planned): authenticated founder tools (classify_product, get_readiness_score, ask_klarify).

Prerequisites

Founders create a share token in Dashboard → FundRaise Mode → Create investor share link (Compass+ required).

The token is the API credential. Revoking the link invalidates both the human view and MCP/API access.
