About Klave Mcp
Klave Mcp connects Claude to a bilateral negotiation engine for negotiating prices across industries. Its tools manage negotiation rounds and provide a zero-knowledge proof reference for the outcome, while keeping the buyer's ceiling out of tool responses.
Key features
- 01Start price negotiations
- 02Advance negotiation rounds
- 03View status and round history
- 04Verify settlements with ZK proofs
- 05Keep the buyer's ceiling out of responses
Use cases
- 01Negotiate freight and logistics rates
- 02Seek lower prices for SaaS licenses
- 03Discuss contractor rates or office leases
- 04Negotiate settlements with a defined ceiling
MCP support
It exposes four negotiation tools to MCP clients: start a negotiation, advance rounds, check status, and verify the settlement. It supports remote SSE and local stdio use.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project README@juny-klave/mcp
MCP server that gives Claude the ability to negotiate prices on your behalf — autonomously, privately, and with cryptographic proof of the outcome.
What it does
KLAVE connects Claude to a bilateral negotiation engine. You describe what you want in plain English; Claude calls KLAVE, runs the negotiation through multiple rounds, and reports back with the settled price and a ZK proof reference. Your ceiling is cryptographically bound to the authorization token and never appears in any response — the seller never sees your budget.
What You Can Negotiate
Anything with a price. KLAVE does not require pre-existing listings, platform partnerships, or pre-seeded scenarios. If it has an asking price and you have a ceiling, KLAVE can negotiate it.
Freight and logistics
"Negotiate 200 FEU containers Shanghai to Rotterdam. They're asking $2,806. My ceiling is $2,700."
Software and SaaS
"Get me a better price on this CRM license. 500 seats, they want $75,000 annually. I won't go above $58,000."
Employment and contracts
"A contractor is asking $185/hour for a 6-month engagement. My budget is $150/hour. Negotiate it."
Real estate
"Negotiate our office lease renewal. Landlord wants $42/sqft. We need to be at $35 or below."
Legal and settlement
"Negotiate a settlement. The other party is asking $250,000. My ceiling is $180,000."
Any bilateral negotiation
"They're asking [X]. I won't pay more than [Y]. Negotiate."
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- A KLAVE API key — get one at klave-platform.vercel.app/docs
Install in Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"klave": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://klave1-production.up.railway.app/mcp/sse",
"--header",
"x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from klave-platform.vercel.app/docs.
Install in Claude Code
claude mcp add klave \
--transport sse \
"https://klave1-production.up.railway.app/mcp/sse" \
--header "x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY"
Run locally (stdio)
git clone https://github.com/juny-klave/klave-mcp.git
cd klave-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Then point Claude Desktop at the local build:
{
"mcpServers": {
"klave": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/klave-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"KLAVE_API_URL": "https://klave1-production.up.railway.app",
"KLAVE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
The 4 tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
klave_negotiate | Start a negotiation — any subject, any industry, any price range |
klave_advance | Advance one round — call in a loop until SETTLED or TERMINATED |
klave_status | Get current state and full round history at any time |
klave_verify | Get the ZK proof confirming the settlement was conducted fairly |
Tool sequence
klave_negotiate ← describe what you're negotiating and your ceiling
klave_advance (loop) ← advance round by round until SETTLED
klave_status ← check progress at any time
klave_verify ← get cryptographic proof after settlement
Privacy guarantees
- Your ceiling (
ceiling_price) is passed to the negotiation engine and never appears in any tool response. - The seller's floor price is derived server-side and never a field in any API response.
leaks_detectedin verify responses is sourced from the server — never hardcoded.- Every negotiation generates an auditable ZK proof.
Environment variables (local mode)
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|

KLAVE_API_KEY | (empty) | API key |
TRANSPORT | stdio | stdio (Claude Desktop/Code) or http (remote/SSE) |
PORT | 3002 | HTTP port when TRANSPORT=http |

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.
