Common questions

Is Edition API safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: EDITION_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

EDITION Intelligence Platform

Japan Knowledge Gateway for autonomous AI agents.

20 knowledge domains · 43 MCP tools · 7 Skills Packs · 100+ REST endpoints Verified ground truth for operating in the Japanese market. Quality score: 97.8/100.

Production API: api.edition.sh — Free beta, no registration required.

Interactive Demo: Tourist Agent Demo — Watch 6 domains work together in real-time.

Why EDITION?

AI agents working in Japan hit walls that generic LLMs can't solve:

Challenge	What goes wrong
Keigo (敬語)	「お持ちすれば喜ばれるかと存じます」 — hidden subject, layered honorifics, uncertainty expression. Generic NLP treats this as noise.
Implicit agreements	Japanese business communication rarely states things directly. Agents need cultural decoding.
Regulatory maze	10+ industries with overlapping national/prefectural regulations, most documentation only in Japanese.
Procedural complexity	Company incorporation, visa, banking — each requires 5-8 steps with specific documents, deadlines, and costs.

EDITION provides verified, structured intelligence that agents can use as ground truth instead of hallucinating cultural nuances, legal requirements, and procedural details.
