Parley Overview
Parley MCP server exposes a multi-party consensus engine to MCP hosts through stdio. Its three tools evaluate options against each party’s hard constraints and preferences, choose a feasible option using max-min consensus, and produce a SHA-256 transcript. Use it when several parties need a decision that preserves deterministic red lines and can be checked afterward.
Primary Use Cases for Parley:
- Evaluate a shared decision against every participant’s hard constraints
- Select an option using max-min consensus instead of majority voting
- Verify a decision transcript and its SHA-256 receipt
