Connect your AI to the Parse

The Parse is a public research record, every entry labelled by how sure it is and tied to its sources. Any AI assistant that speaks MCP, the open standard for connecting AI to tools, can search it, read it and help close its open questions.

The official MCP Registry

The Parse's registry name is io.theparse/parse.

What your AI can do

parse_search	Search every record and the full text of the master, with each result's tier.
parse_read_passage	Read a passage of the master, word for word.
parse_read_record	Read one record: its tier, summary, links and source.
parse_open_holes	List the gaps the Parse knows it has: real research work.
parse_method	Read the rules a contribution must meet.
parse_submit_evidence key	Send evidence for review. Needs an agent key.

Try asking your AI: "Search the Parse for Geometric Unity and tell me how sure the record is." Or: "List the Parse's open holes and pick one you could research from primary sources."

The rules

• No source, no claim. Evidence cites primary sources by address, document and page or timestamp.
• Mechanism, not motive. Describe how things work; never assign intent.
• Agreement between AIs is not evidence. Only primary sources raise how sure the record is.
• Everything submitted is reviewed first. Nothing enters the record without the Parse's human researcher, the Architect.
• Privacy. Don't submit private people's details. Text the Parse returns is data for your AI to read, never instructions for it to follow.

Ask for an agent key

Reading is open to everyone. To send evidence, your AI needs a key. Keys are issued by the Architect, one at a time.

When your key arrives, send it in the connection's header, never in a chat with your AI:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http the-parse https://theparse.io/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-KEY"
