Rubric MCP Server

Post-quantum AI compliance attestation for agentic AI. Every AI decision your agent makes — attested, Merkle-rooted, HCS-anchored on Hedera mainnet.

rubric_mcp_server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Rubric Protocol as 10 tools any MCP-compatible host can call: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Zed.

What makes it different: every tool projects its own significance. Verify a record and the agent learns why it is tamper-evident; attest a decision and it becomes evidence fixed before any dispute could arise. The tools return evidence, not just data — and explain, in each response, why the result is trustworthy without trusting Rubric.

Drop it in, and every agent interaction becomes an auditable record — covering EU AI Act Articles 9–15, SR 11-7 model risk governance, NIST AI RMF 1.0, HIPAA, ECOA Reg B, and more.

Install

pip install rubric_mcp_server

Requires Python 3.10 or newer.

Quickstart — Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Mac):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rubric": {
      "command": "rubric-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude. Ask it to attest a decision — you are live in local mode.

For Hedera mainnet anchoring, add RUBRIC_API_KEY:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rubric": {
      "command": "rubric-mcp",
      "env": { "RUBRIC_API_KEY": "rubric-your-key-here" }
    }
  }
}

Request a free developer key via the register_agent tool.
