Tnl Overview

The janaraj/tnl MCP server gives AI coding agents tools for managing Typed Natural Language contracts stored in a repository. Its six tools retrieve relevant contracts, trace affected work, propose and approve contract changes, and verify implementations. Use it when an agent needs persistent feature requirements, bounded file changes, and explicit self-attestation across sessions. Installation is provided through the typed-nl CLI and supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor workflows.

Primary Use Cases for Tnl:
  • Define approved feature contracts before coding
  • Retrieve contracts for follow-up agent sessions
  • Propose and review changes to existing requirements
  • Verify implementations against MUST clauses
