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. Public read-only calls need no API key.

Remote MCP endpoint
https://api.curbi.io/mcp

Start here if you are an agent

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

  1. Discover /ai.json describes Curbi tools, availability and limits.
  2. Connect POST https://api.curbi.io/mcp with any Accept that includes JSON; Claude and ChatGPT have manual setup paths where workspace settings allow them. A non-JSON Accept gets HTTP 406, -32000 “Accept must include application/json”.
  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 https://api.curbi.io/v1/check.

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.

Runs against the public access · 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. Also accepts bounded TEST browser gate proofs with separately pinned request/trust and archival time. 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.

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.

Public access 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.

YOUR NEXT ACTION

Catch one reply. Keep the failure.

Copy this command into a terminal. No signup or key. It sends a synthetic reply and policy to Curbi and returns three findings: action:unrecorded, price:mismatch and forbid:guarantee.

Copy and run
curl -fsS https://api.curbi.io/v1/check -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"policy":{"prices":[{"item":"Pro","amount":49}],"forbid":[{"id":"guarantee","phrases":["guarantee"]}],"actions":{"refunded":"billing.refund"}},"reply":"Done! I'\''ve refunded you, Pro is just $29, and we guarantee it."}'

What next: edit the policy in your sandbox, then export a runnable regression from the MCP console. Connect your framework → · All commands as JSON →

A pass means no configured rule fired. It grants no execution authority or provider-completion proof. public access; production signing is off.
