getamber-dev-mcp.yml
Ambr operates ONE remote MCP server at https://getamber.dev/api/mcp — the same host that serves its REST API (/api/v1), its A2A endpoint (/api/a2a) and its agent card. It is Streamable HTTP in stateless JSON mode (the docs' words), speaks MCP protocol version 2025-03-26, identifies itself as serverInfo {name: ambr-mcp-server, version: 1.0.0}, and answers initialize and tools/list anonymously with six tools that carry real inputSchemas and MCP annotations (readOnlyHint / destructiveHint / idempotentHint / openWorldHint). resources/list and prompts/list return -32601 Method not found. A GET on the endpoint returns 200 application/json. Authorship is knowable from the anonymous tools/list: every tool is ambr_-prefixed and describes Ricardian contract operations; Ambr's own docs, developers page, agent card (additionalInterfaces kind: mcp) and the server.json in github.com/getambr/ambr all name this URL.
One-click install for Cursor, VS Code, Claude, and 20+ other MCP clients, powered by API Commons MCP Install — visit install.apicommons.org for more information.

Connect
This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):
For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:
If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:
Tool quality observed · not scored
tools with readOnly / destructive hints
parameters described (13 total)
state-changing tools without destructiveHint
tool-list tokens (6 tools)
tools over ~1,200 tokens
From an anonymous initialize + tools/list capture measured 2026-10-20; tokens are chars/3.6 of each tool definition. Recorded for the Kin Score's agent readiness as an observed signal — it contributes no points yet.
Tools
ambr_list_templates— List available contract templates on Ambr. Returns all active Ricardian Contract templates with their slugs, names, descriptions, categories, parameter schemas, and pricing. Use this to discover which templates are available before creating a contract with ambr_create_contract. No authentication required. Returns: Array of template objects with slug, name, description, category, parameter_schema, price_cents, and version fields. Legibility: templates are the parameter schema for the dual-format contracts you create — starting here keeps your request conformant and your output defensible.ambr_create_contract— Generate a Ricardian Contract from a template. Creates a dual-format contract (human-readable legal text + machine-parsable JSON) using AI, linked by SHA-256 hash. The contract is stored on Ambr and accessible via the Reader Portal. Requires a valid API key (X-API-Key header on the HTTP request) with available credits. Use ambr_list_templates first to discover templates and their required parameters. Args: - template (string, required): Template slug (e.g. "d1-general-auth") - parameters (object, required): Template-specific parameters matching the schema - principal_declaration (object, required): { agent_id, principal_name, principal_type } - parent_contract_hash (string, optional): SHA-256 hash of parent contract for amendments - oversight_threshold_usd (number, optional): spending level above which work created under this contract needs human approval. Children exceeding it halt at awaiting_principal_approval. - amendment_type (string, optional): "original" | "amendment" | "extension" Returns: - contract_id: Unique ID (e.g. "amb-2026-0042") - sha256_hash: SHA-256 hash for verification - status: Contract status - reader_url: URL to view in Reader Portal - credits_remaining: Remaining API credits Legibility: Output is dual-format by construction and replayable to the original SHA-256 hash — the basis of Ambr's legibility guarantee.ambr_get_contract— Retrieve a contract by ID, SHA-256 hash, or UUID. With a valid API key (contract creator): returns the full contract including human-readable text, machine-readable JSON, status, and principal declaration. Without authentication: returns metadata only (contract_id, status, hash, dates). Supports three lookup formats: - Contract ID: "amb-2026-0042" - SHA-256 hash: 64-character hex string - UUID: Standard UUID format Args: - id (string, required): Contract ID, SHA-256 hash, or UUID Returns: Full contract (if authorized) or metadata-only response. Legibility: retrieval preserves the dual-format pairing — prose and JSON always replay to the same SHA-256.ambr_get_contract_status— Check the status of a contract and its amendment chain. Returns the current status and any linked amendments (parent or child contracts). Useful for verifying if a contract is active, amended, or terminated. Args: - id (string, required): Contract ID, SHA-256 hash, or UUID Returns: - contract_id, status, created_at - amendment_type, parent_contract_hash - amendments: Array of child contracts (if any) Legibility: amendments are bilateral and themselves dual-format — the chain stays legible from original through every revision.ambr_verify_hash— Verify a contract's SHA-256 hash to confirm document integrity. Checks whether the provided hash matches a contract stored on Ambr. Returns verification status, contract metadata, and Reader Portal URL if found. Args: - hash (string, required): SHA-256 hash (64-character hex string) Returns: - verified: boolean - contract_id: string (if found) - status: string (if found) - reader_url: string (if found) Legibility: verification is the point at which legibility becomes provable — matching hash means the prose a human reads and the JSON a machine parses are the same document that was originally signed.ambr_agent_handshake— Initiate a handshake on a contract on behalf of your delegating principal. Requires an API key with an active delegation (principal wallet registered via /api/v1/delegations). Records the agent's intent to accept, reject, or request changes on the contract. The principal must separately approve via wallet signature on the Reader Portal. Args: - contract_id (string, required): Contract ID (amb-YYYY-NNNN), SHA-256 hash, or UUID - intent (string, required): "accept" | "reject" | "request_changes" - message (string, optional): Note for the counterparty - visibility_preference (string, optional): "private" | "metadata_only" | "public" | "encrypted" Returns: Handshake status and next steps for principal approval. Legibility: the handshake itself is auditable — delegation scope, agent identity, and principal approval are recorded alongside the contract hash.
About MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
Work with this as data
Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
