Santismm Knowledge — Harness Engineering, Agentic AI & Governance
RemoteAbout Santismm Knowledge — Harness Engineering, Agentic AI & Governance
Santismm Knowledge is an MCP server exposing the Santismm Knowledge Platform’s knowledge, essays, Labs, datasets, and epistemic claims. It serves product and AI practitioners, with a local corpus that can work offline and federated tools that retrieve current first-party content.
Key features
- 0136 read-only knowledge tools
- 02Knowledge across five core domains
- 03Access to essays, Labs, and benchmarks
- 04Structured, schema-validated results
- 05Content available in seven languages
Use cases
- 01Query governance and Harness Engineering material
- 02Explore first-party essays and executable Labs
- 03Look up Homeric Atlas datasets and claims
MCP support
Provides 36 read-only tools to MCP clients. Connect through the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint or run locally over stdio; local-corpus tools work offline, while federated Article, Labs, and benchmark tools use first-party HTTPS APIs.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEsantismm-knowledge-mcp
MCP server for the Santismm Knowledge Platform — five core knowledge domains, first-party essays, Homeric Atlas datasets and epistemic claims.
This repository is generated from the platform at santismm.com. Do not edit it by hand; changes are overwritten on the next sync. Corrections go through the site.
Use it without installing anything
The same server is hosted, so most people want the endpoint rather than this repository:
{ "mcpServers": { "santismm-knowledge": { "type": "http", "url": "https://santismm.com/mcp" } } }
Docs: https://santismm.com/en/mcp · Registry: com.santismm/knowledge
Where this server is listed
Derived from the same list the site renders on its own MCP page, so a registry added there is linked from here too — and a directory that checks for a backlink before ranking a server finds one without anybody remembering to add it.
Run it locally (stdio)
npm ci && npm run build && npm start
The core corpus ships in content/ and is read from disk, so its tools work
offline. The federated Article, Labs and benchmark tools read their canonical
first-party APIs over HTTPS (benchmarks: SANTISMM_BENCHMARKS_URL). Point the
core corpus elsewhere with SANTISMM_CONTENT_DIR.
Install from npm
npx santismm-knowledge-mcp
Or in an MCP client config (stdio):
{ "mcpServers": { "santismm-knowledge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["santismm-knowledge-mcp"] } } }
The npm package carries the corpus frozen at publish time; this repository and the hosted endpoint update continuously. When freshness matters, prefer the endpoint.
Install from PyPI (Python)
uvx santismm-knowledge-mcp
The Python package (in python/) is a zero-dependency stdio
proxy to the hosted endpoint — it ships no corpus, so it is always fresh.
{ "mcpServers": { "santismm-knowledge": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["santismm-knowledge-mcp"] } } }
Licences
Code is MIT (LICENSE); the knowledge corpus in content/ is
CC BY 4.0 (content/LICENSE) — two licences because CC BY
is not a software licence and MIT is not a content licence.
What it exposes
36 read-only tools over knowledge, patterns, architectures, governance, the
Harness Engineering Handbook, first-party Articles, Labs and the AI benchmarks,
each declaring an
outputSchema and returning validated structuredContent. Every tool is
annotated readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false and
idempotentHint: true. The federated Article, Labs and benchmark tools
declare openWorldHint: true; local-corpus tools remain false.
Content in seven languages (en/es/pt/fr/de/ja/zh).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
