Rumi's complete Masnavi (25,635 beyts) — search, quote, verify and explain. Free, no auth.
Human sign-off + trust receipts for AI agents: requires a named human's approval before an irreversible action (payment release, record change, deploy), then mints an offline-verifiable Ed25519 Trust Receipt. Also exposes trust profiles, receipt verification, disputes, and delegation. Apache-2.0; policy engine formally verified. Install: npx -y @emilia-protocol/mcp-server.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Masnavi is categorized under Security and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Emilia Protocol belongs to Security using local stdio subprocess. Select Masnavi when you need capabilities focused on security and Emilia Protocol when you require tools for security.
Request authorization before an irreversible action: payments, wire transfers, fund releases, deletions, record or account changes, or sending messages with real-world effect. Submits the exact action for policy evaluation and human authorization. This MCP tool does not itself sit at the executor choke point: even after approval, the executor MUST match the returned action_hash and atomically consume the receipt before effect. If BLOCKED, poll ep_check_signoff with the receipt_id.
ep_check_signoff
Poll a pending authorization after ep_guard_action returns BLOCKED. Pass the receipt_id. Returns PENDING, APPROVED_PENDING_CONSUME, CONSUMED, or DENIED. Approval alone is not permission to execute: the executor must match action_hash and atomically consume the receipt at its own choke point.
ep_verify_receipt
Ask the configured EMILIA service to verify a stored trust receipt and report its hash and anchor status. Read-only, but not an offline verifier: the result is the service response for the supplied receipt_id.
