Source-graded registry of organizational measurement: constructs, priors, instruments, citations. Connect the official Principia MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.

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.”
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.
Operated by Principia (peopleprincipia.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Principia adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Principia in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Principia's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.
principia.constructs.list — List canonical constructs (resolved CanonicalVariable rows). Supports limit/offset, engagement_family_only, and abstraction_level (PRN-271).
principia.constructs.lookup — Lookup one canonical construct by variable_id. Unknown ids return found:false (soft validation).
principia.constructs.search — Keyword search over construct name + definition + alternative_names + variable_codes.
principia.constructs.resolve — Resolve a source-side construct {name, definition?, variable_code?} against the canonical store. READ-ONLY — does not mutate. Uses meta-fact
principia.instruments.list — List InstrumentCard rows. Optional construct_id filter narrows to instruments covering a given construct.
principia.instruments.lookup — Lookup one instrument by instrument_id. Unknown ids return found:false.
principia.instruments.search — Keyword search over instrument_name + developer + constructs_covered.
principia.items.lookup — Lookup one survey item by item_id. SPEC §6/Q4 enforced: items_license != public_domain|open returns status:'restricted'.

https://peopleprincipia.com/api/mcpYes — 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.
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.
No. Principia runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
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.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Principia in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
