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.
