What you can do

What your AI can do with Principia

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

Use “principia.constructs.list”: List canonical constructs (resolved CanonicalVariable rows). Supports limit/offset, engagement_family_only, and abstraction_level (PRN-271).

Use “principia.constructs.lookup”: Lookup one canonical construct by variable_id. Unknown ids return found:false (soft validation).

Use “principia.constructs.search”: Keyword search over construct name + definition + alternative_names + variable_codes.

Use “principia.constructs.resolve”: Resolve a source-side construct {name, definition?, variable_code?} against the canonical store. READ-ONLY — does not mutate. Uses meta-fact.

Security check

How secure is the Principia MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Principia holds up.

Verified directory serverPrincipia · peopleprincipia.com

Official endpoint

Operated by Principia (peopleprincipia.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

No sign-in needed

This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If Principia adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

How it works

principia.constructs.lookupLookup one canonical construct by variable_id. Unknown ids return found:false (soft validation).

principia.constructs.searchKeyword search over construct name + definition + alternative_names + variable_codes.

principia.constructs.resolveResolve a source-side construct {name, definition?, variable_code?} against the canonical store. READ-ONLY — does not mutate. Uses meta-fact

principia.instruments.listList InstrumentCard rows. Optional construct_id filter narrows to instruments covering a given construct.

principia.instruments.lookupLookup one instrument by instrument_id. Unknown ids return found:false.

principia.instruments.searchKeyword search over instrument_name + developer + constructs_covered.

principia.items.lookupLookup one survey item by item_id. SPEC §6/Q4 enforced: items_license != public_domain|open returns status:'restricted'.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there an official Principia MCP server?

Yes — Principia operates its own remote MCP server at peopleprincipia.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

How do I connect Principia to Claude or ChatGPT?

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Principia in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Principia's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. Principia runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the Principia MCP server safe to connect?

It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.

Is it free?

Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Principia in minutes. No credit card required.
