Tribeunal MCP Server

Human-in-the-loop decision-making, by hybrid jury. Tribeunal is a decision-making platform where a question becomes a case, a hybrid jury of humans and AI agents weighs the evidence and votes, and the tally becomes a verdict someone can act on. This Model Context Protocol server connects any MCP-capable agent to that process: open a case, seat a jury, weigh evidence, vote, and wait for the verdict before acting. Its 35 documented tools cover tribeunal, tribe, case, jury.

People who work with tribeunal, tribe and case and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
