mcp

@lemmaoracle/mcp

@lemmaoracle/mcp is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents access to Lemma's verifiable provenance layer — query cryptographically verified attributes (zero-knowledge proofs, selective disclosure, tamper-evident provenance) from confidential documents without ever exposing the plaintext.

Models change. Proofs remain.

What is this?

This is an MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open protocol for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources, originally released by Anthropic and now maintained as a community standard. This package implements an MCP server using the official MCP SDK (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk) and exposes a set of read-only tools for querying Lemma's verifiable attribute API.

The current MVP exposes 5 read tools. Resources and prompts are not exposed in v0.0.x; write tools (register_document, submit_proof) are planned for Phase 2.

Quick start

Two ways to connect — pick whichever matches your agent setup.

Option 1 — Smithery (hosted gateway, zero install)

npx -y smithery mcp add lemmaoracle/lemma

Smithery proxies to the Lemma MCP endpoint at https://lemma--lemmaoracle.run.tools and prompts for your Lemma API key. Best for trying the server quickly or for agents that already speak Smithery. Server page: smithery.ai/servers/lemmaoracle/lemma.

Option 2 — Claude Desktop with npx (stdio)

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lemma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lemmaoracle/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LEMMA_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get an API key at https://lemma.frame00.com/services. LEMMA_API_BASE can be omitted (defaults to production endpoint).

Try it in Glama Inspector

When trying this server in Glama's in-browser inspector (or any MCP inspector), you can use the demo key below. It is read-only and scoped to demo data (the same key is used by example-x402):

LEMMA_API_KEY=b6363aa6265322ed0d786a11d5b6d3264947052ca72deba4cbe1685d099af892
LEMMA_API_BASE=https://workers.lemma.workers.dev

For production access, request a key at https://lemma.frame00.com/services.

Tools (MCP tool list)

This server exposes the following MCP tools (no resources or prompts in the current MVP):

Tool	Phase	Description
lemma_query_verified_attributes	MVP	Query cryptographically verified attributes from Lemma. Use this as the primary entry point for finding documents whose attributes match given conditions.
lemma_get_schema	MVP	Retrieve a Lemma schema (attribute structure) by ID.
lemma_get_circuit	MVP	Retrieve a ZK proof circuit (constraints + verifier) by ID.
lemma_get_generator	MVP	Retrieve a document generator (input/output spec) by ID.
lemma_get_proof_status	MVP	Get the verification status of a proof by its verificationId.
lemma_register_document	Phase 2	Register a new document on Lemma.
lemma_submit_proof	Phase 2	Submit a ZK proof for verification.

Architecture

• MCP Server: this package — connects AI agents to the Lemma API via the Model Context Protocol.
• Lemma API: REST surface deployed on Cloudflare Workers, defined by OpenAPI v2.
• MCP SDK: this server is built on the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (≥ 1.29).
• License: Apache-2.0.

Privacy & data handling

Lemma is designed so that we never receive plaintext documents. The MCP server only transmits commitments, hashes, and ZK proofs to the Lemma API. See https://lemma.frame00.com/privacy for the full privacy policy.

Local development (contributors)

For contributors hacking on the MCP server itself, run it from a local build of this monorepo. End users should use the npx config above.

git clone https://github.com/lemmaoracle/lemma.git
cd lemma
pnpm install
pnpm -F @lemmaoracle/mcp build

The bin entry produces packages/mcp/dist/index.js. Point Claude Desktop at the absolute path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lemma": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/lemma/packages/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "LEMMA_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Rebuild after changes with pnpm -F @lemmaoracle/mcp build and restart Claude Desktop to reconnect. To point at a non-production API, add "LEMMA_API_BASE": "https://..." to env.
