📖 Documentation
Honesty register (2026-09-02)
Live authority is GET https://councilof.ai/api/gspc — cite totals.public_count and totals.lid from that payload. Do not type axis counts into this README.
- Measurement, not certification. CSOAI Ltd measures and signs; it does not certify, accredit, or act as a notified body.
- MEOK.ai is a shelf / frontend, not a second Council. Printers and agents must read the live GSPC endpoint — never invent scores, never wrangler a stamp.
- Prefer honest UNCHECKABLE over a fake stamp. This package does not certify EU AI Act compliance.

Why this matters for MEOK
Every other MEOK MCP makes you do something. This one tells you when to stop. It's the cheapest insurance policy in the catalogue — and it sits alongside the agent-rate-limiter and agent-audit-logger as the third guardrail in the A2A Substrate.
Wire it up — full stack
This MCP is step 1 of 6 in the MEOK chain that turns one agent action into a fully signed compliance event. See meok.ai/mcp-stack for the 6-MCP chain:
- bft-progress-council-mcp (this) — anti-loop guardrail
- agent-token-budget-mcp — hard spend cap
- agent-content-watermark-mcp — EU AI Act Article 50(2) watermark
- meok-eu-aigc-icon-mcp — EU Code-of-Practice icon (Nov 2026 cliff)
- agent-audit-logger-mcp — hash-chained audit trail
- a2a-governance-bridge-mcp — fold all signatures into one signed event
Output: ONE auditor-defensible evidence event mapped to EU AI Act Articles 12 + 50, DORA Article 17, ISO 42001 clause 9 — plus a public verify URL.

Comments
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.
