@thecorporation/mcp-server

36 MCP tools that give AI agents full corporate operations capabilities. Entity formation, equity management, payroll, contracts, banking, tax compliance — every tool call passes through the governance kernel, produces an atomic git commit, and returns a signed receipt. Your agent gets corporate powers. Your corporation gets an audit trail.

Part of TheCorporation — version-controlled governance, autonomous agents, and open-source corporate infrastructure.

Install

npm install -g @thecorporation/mcp-server

Or run directly:

npx @thecorporation/mcp-server

Configure with Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thecorporation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thecorporation/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Configure with Claude Code

claude mcp add thecorporation -- npx -y @thecorporation/mcp-server

Authentication

The MCP server shares credentials with the CLI. Authenticate once, use everywhere.

Option 1: Authenticate via CLI (recommended)

npx @thecorporation/cli setup

This sends a magic link to your email. Click the link, paste the code into the terminal, and your credentials are saved to ~/.corp/config.json. The MCP server reads this file automatically — no additional configuration needed.

Your workspace is the same whether you access it from the CLI, MCP server, or chat at humans.thecorporation.ai.

Option 2: Environment variables

Set credentials explicitly in your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thecorporation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thecorporation/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CORP_API_KEY": "sk_...",
        "CORP_WORKSPACE_ID": "ws_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Local mode

Run corp setup and choose "Local". The MCP server automatically picks up the local-mode config from ~/.corp/ — no additional env vars needed. All requests go through the Rust binary directly (no network).

npx @thecorporation/cli setup   # choose "Local"
# MCP server now works automatically

Option 4: Self-hosted

Point to your own API server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thecorporation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thecorporation/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CORP_API_URL": "http://localhost:8000",
        "CORP_API_KEY": "sk_...",
        "CORP_WORKSPACE_ID": "ws_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Prompts

• "Form a Delaware LLC called Acme AI for my consulting business"
• "Issue a $500K post-money SAFE with a $10M cap to Jane Smith"
• "Generate an NDA between my company and Acme Corp"
• "Run payroll for January 2025"
• "File 1099-NECs for all my contractors"

How It Works

Every operation flows through a deterministic governance kernel:

Agent Tool Call → Intent → Policy Evaluation → Execution → Receipt

• No side effect without an auditable intent
• Every receipt is hash-bound and immutable
• Human obligations auto-generated for legally required signatures
• Double-entry ledger tracks every dollar
