assurance-mcp
Coverage and staleness checks as MCP tools — arithmetic only, read-only inside folders you grant.
Install
pip install assurance-mcp
# or: pip install assurance # every tool
{
"mcpServers": {
"assurance": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "assurance_mcp.server", "--root", "/absolute/path/to/your/reports"]
}
}
}
--root is required for folder tools (repeat for more roots, or set ASSURANCE_MCP_ROOTS). A filesystem root (/, C:\) is refused. Restart the client after editing the config.
Quick start
Five tools. Real output from check_set_coverage (no folder needed):
complete: false · read 2 of 4
"2 of 4 documents this question spans — not in the retrieved set: amendment-2.md, amendment-3.md"
unexpected: ["globex/msa.md"]
That is what this call returns:
from assurance_mcp.checks import check_set_coverage
result = check_set_coverage(
expected=["msa.md", "amendment-1.md", "amendment-2.md", "amendment-3.md"],
found=["msa.md", "amendment-1.md", "globex/msa.md"],
scope="documents this question spans",
where="the retrieved set",
)
assert result["complete"] is False
assert result["read"] == 2
assert "amendment-2.md" in result["summary"]
What it checks
| tool | answers | needs --root |
|---|---|---|
check_set_coverage_tool |
did any two sets cover each other? | no |
check_retrieval_coverage_tool |
did retrieval hit every document the question spans? | no |
check_coverage_tool |
which periods are in this folder? | yes |
check_staleness_tool |
do figures still match a source you name? | yes |
list_dated_files_tool |
which periods does this folder hold? | yes |
In CI
The MCP server itself is not a CI gate. Use assurance check / assurance diff from assurance-cli for exit codes:
| exit | means |
|---|---|
0 |
checked clean (or not asked to fail) |
1 |
gap or unverifiable |
2 |
could not run |
Limits
expectedis never inferred. You name the denominator.- CSV/TSV only for profiling — no XLSX dependency here.
- Staleness needs recorded facts, or the answer is
uncheckable. - No writes, no network. A model cannot widen
--root. - Folder tools refuse until
--root(orASSURANCE_MCP_ROOTS) is set.
