Civicnet MCP Server – MCP

What is Civicnet MCP Server?

Civicnet MCP Server is a modular, principle-driven server for running local, trusted, and agentic community AI. It powers neighborhood, city, or organization-level nodes in the CivicNet/Konstellation federated civic grid, ingesting and validating local data, orchestrating agentic models, and applying civic principles (equity, truth, privacy, transparency) to every query and output.

Clone the repository, copy config/.env.example to .env, edit environment variables (API keys, DB, LLM settings), then run docker-compose up --build. Access the API documentation at http://localhost:4000/docs (Swagger/OpenAPI by default).
