01 ยท Install Polis Protocol
before you install - you'll need
The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.
Claude Code
claude mcp add yehudalevy-collab-polis-protocol -- uvx polis-protocol Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"yehudalevy-collab-polis-protocol": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"polis-protocol"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 ยท Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package polis-protocol - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.yehudalevy-collab is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 ยท What Polis Protocol can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
Latest releases
v2.0.1 ยท 2026-06-19
Patch release. Fixes the CLI --help banner printing the wrong version (the 2.0.0 wheel showed 'polis 2.0.0a2' because the version string was hardcoded). polis/__init__.py now derives __version__ from package metadataโฆ
v2.0.0 ยท 2026-06-19
Stable release. Full surface: CLI + MCP + dashboard + VS Code extension + evidence-weighted routing + guardrail auto-injection + polis reflect (Layer 3 self-amendments). Install: uvx polis-protocol init
