How to connect
How to connect CausalLayer MCP to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://mcp.faultkey.com/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.
Authorization
After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.
How to connect CausalLayer MCP to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://mcp.faultkey.com/mcp
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect CausalLayer MCP to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://mcp.faultkey.com/mcp
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (10)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| submit_incident | Submit an AI incident for deterministic causal liability attribution. Returns a signed CausalCertificate, per-agent liability allocation, evidence-chain completeness, regulatory mapping, and (where keys are configured) a Bitcoin-anchored proof. Cost: 50 credits. Three guardrails apply: PII scan, deterministic-only acknowledgement, and minimum evidence. |
| verify_certificate | Independently verify a CausalCertificate end-to-end (signature, Merkle integrity, issuer status against the registry). Cost: 1 credit. In production env, certificates from non-active issuers are rejected. |
| verify_certificate_recompute | Independently re-derive a CausalCertificate from its canonical input and compare byte-for-byte against the claimed certificate. This is the strongest verification path: it requires no trust in the issuer or signing key. Cost: 1 credit (same price as verify_certificate). Returns PASS only if every checked field (certificateId, request_hash, merkleRoot, verdict, causalGraph, fourFactorScoring, deviationTaxonomy, euRuleOverlay, cascadeAttenuation, damages, underwriting) matches identically. |
| submit_otel_trace | Convert an OpenTelemetry OTLP JSON trace into a FaultKey incident and return the same deterministic CausalCertificate as submit_incident. Each span becomes an event; service.name groups spans into agents; W3C trace_id and span_id propagate as evidence pointers on the causal graph edges. Cost: 50 credits (same as submit_incident). Three guardrails apply: PII scan, deterministic-only acknowledgement, and minimum evidence (auto-satisfied when the trace has at least 1 span). |
| simulate_remediation | Counterfactual remediation simulator. Given a certificate's verdict + fourFactorScoring + agents and a list of remediation IDs from the FK-METHOD-2026-003 catalog, return the apportioned shares each remediation would have produced (in isolation) and the composite shares if they all stack. Every remediation cites a specific statute or standard. GET /api/v2/remediation/catalog for the list of IDs. Cost: 1 credit (same price as verify_certificate). Pure deterministic; same inputs produce a byte-identical result. |
| query_jurisdiction_overlay | Multi-jurisdiction overlay (FK-METHOD-2026-004). Given a canonical attributable apportionment (party-id -> share), the union of all jurisdiction role tags on each actor, and the union of jurisdiction-specific flags, return side-by-side post-overlay shares for AU, EU, US, UK, CA (or a chosen subset) with the specific rules that fired in each, citation URLs, and a parties × jurisdictions matrix. v1 ships full implementations for AU and EU; US/UK/CA are research stubs marked `is_stub: true`. Use GET /api/v2/jurisdiction/catalog to discover support and stub status. Cost: 1 credit. Pure deterministic. |
| evaluate_prospective_response | Deterministic prospective-evaluation gate (FK-METHOD-2026-006). Pass a ProposedAction BEFORE the agent delivers a response; receive one of three verdicts: 'allow', 'require_revision' (with specific factor-keyed directives), or 'block'. Uses the same four-factor engine that issues post-hoc certificates, so a single incident chains: prospective_pre_image -> response -> certificate -> anchor. This is a policy gate on structured action metadata, NOT a content safety classifier on raw prose. Thresholds are per-jurisdiction (EU strictest, US most permissive); read via GET /api/v2/gate/thresholds. Overrides are allowed but REQUIRE a governance rationale so the audit trail is complete. Cost: 1 credit. Pure deterministic. |
| get_anchor_status | Return the index of all CausalLayer Tessera anchor batches, or one batch's full JSON (signed Merkle root, leaves, OpenTimestamps proof reference). FREE. |
| query_issuer_registry | Return the CausalLayer issuer registry, or one issuer record. The registry lists all trusted public-key fingerprints, key algorithms, validity windows, and the anchor-log repo for each active issuer. FREE — no API key required. |
| extract_incident | Claude-powered structured extractor. Parses unstructured text (news articles, court filings, emails, PDFs, incident reports, logs) into the typed JSON schema required by submit_incident. Returns a ready-to-submit incident object with extracted agents, events, severity, jurisdiction, and financial impact. NOTE: This is a pre-processing convenience tool — the deterministic scoring engine itself remains LLM-free. Cost: 10 credits. |
