Common questions

Is Compass 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: COMPASS_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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 4 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.

What can I use instead?

compass-mcp

An MCP server that grounds your LLM in EU financial, crypto and AI regulation via Compass. Add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP host, and the model can pull the governing EU provisions, verbatim and article-cited, before it answers.

It exposes two tools over Compass's public grounding API:

`compass_retrieve`: a question in, the top governing provisions out (verbatim text, article-level citations, cross-references) from the core EU acts (MiCA, DORA, MiFID II, the AML package, the AI Act, GDPR and more).
`compass_verify`: check that a quote is a verbatim span of a specific provision, so the model never misquotes the law.

1. Get an API key

Create a key at [compass.licentium.ai/developers](https://compass.licentium.ai/developers). It looks like ck_live_.... The first calls are free; after that, usage is metered against your Compass credits. Keep the key secret.

2. Install and build

git clone <this-repo> compass-mcp

cd compass-mcp npm install npm run build

This produces dist/index.js. (Once published to npm, hosts can run it with npx -y @licentium/compass-mcp and skip the clone/build.)

3. Configure your MCP host

Set COMPASS_API_KEY to your key in the server's environment.

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

"mcpServers": { "compass": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/compass-mcp/dist/index.js"], "env": { "COMPASS_API_KEY": "ck_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see compass_retrieve and compass_verify in the tools list.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project's .cursor/mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "compass": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/compass-mcp/dist/index.js"], "env": { "COMPASS_API_KEY": "ck_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Any other MCP host

Run the binary over stdio with COMPASS_API_KEY set:

COMPASS_API_KEY=ck_live_your_key_here node dist/index.js

Tools

`compass_retrieve`

Param	Type	Notes
`query`	string	A regulatory question in plain language.
`top_k`	number	Optional. Provisions to return, 1 to 20 (default 8).

Returns the governing provisions as verbatim text, each with its reference (e.g. MiCA, Article 59), a node_id, and any cross-references. Feed a node_id into compass_verify to confirm a quote.

`compass_verify`

Param	Type	Notes
`node_id`	string	The `node_id` of a provision from `compass_retrieve`.
`quote`	string	The exact text you intend to attribute to it.

Returns whether the quote is a verbatim span of that provision.

Configuration

Env var	Required	Default	Notes
`COMPASS_API_KEY`	yes	(none)	Your `ck_live_` key.
`COMPASS_API_URL`	no	`https://compass.licentium.ai`	Override only for self-hosted endpoints.

Notes

Compass returns primary-law text only. It is a research and scoping tool, not legal advice. When the corpus does not govern a question, compass_retrieve returns nothing rather than guessing, so instruct your model not to assert an ungrounded answer.

Logs go to stderr so they never corrupt the stdio JSON-RPC stream.
