# frame-check-mcp

> Frame Check MCP server: deterministic structural framing analysis for AI-generated documents, with default-on frame-divergence block per FRAME_DIVERGENCE_CONTRACT_v1 c1.0. MCP surface delegates V4.2 judgment to the caller's agent model; zero Frame Check LLM cost per query.

See what any document does not show you.

Frame Check is a deterministic structural framing analysis tool. It
names which analytical perspectives a document takes, which it omits,
and how it positions the reader, and it cross-checks the document's
numeric claims against primary sources a language model can't reach
(SEC EDGAR, FRED, World Bank, and others). It makes no LLM call of its
own, so the same document always returns the same reading at no model
cost.

## Quickstart (MCP server)

The PyPI package `frame-check-mcp` is the Model Context Protocol
server. It runs locally and gives any MCP-compatible AI client
(Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, etc.) deterministic
structural framing analysis as a tool.

    pip install frame-check-mcp

Then point your MCP client at the installed entry point. For
Claude Desktop, add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "frame-check": {
          "command": "frame-check-mcp"
        }
      }
    }

Restart the client. Then in any conversation: "Can you frame-check
this document?" Full install + verification details in `docs/MCP_SERVER.md`.

### Verifying the wheel (sigstore attestation)

Every published wheel ships with a sigstore build-provenance
attestation generated inside the GitHub Actions publish workflow
via OIDC. Adopters who want to verify the wheel was built from
this repository's CI (and not modified between the runner and
PyPI) can do so with the `gh` CLI:

    pip download frame-…
