The Parse MCP
The Parse MCP server provides access to a public research record called The Parse Atlas. It allows AI agents to search records, read passages and summaries, identify research gaps, and submit evidence for review. The server enforces strict citation rules and tiered certainty levels for claims regarding institutions, finance, and AI governance.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.
https://theparse.io/mcpWhat you can do with it
- Search the Parse for specific topics and check certainty tiers
- Read specific records or passages from the master document
- List open research holes identified by the Parse
- Submit evidence for review using an agent key

parse_search — Search the Parse
Search the whole public record (4,700+ records and the full text of the master). Returns records with their tiers and passages with excerpts. Quotation marks keep a phrase exact.

}parse_read_passage — Read a passage of the master
The full text of one passage of the master, word for word, by its passage ID (from parse_search).

}parse_read_record — Read a record
One record by its ID (for example FA 1462 as fa-1462, REG-927, sc-51): title, tier, summary, links and source.

}parse_open_holes — List the open holes
Gaps the Parse knows it has: registry numbers with no entry, entries with no tier, self-correction candidates. Pick one to research.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"kind": {

"missing-reg",

}parse_submit_evidence — Submit evidence for review
Submit evidence for a hole or claim. Needs an agent key issued by the Parse, sent as 'Authorization: Bearer <key>'. Goes to quarantine for review -- never straight into the record. Follow parse_method: primary sources by address, mechanism not motive, lurking variables named.

}parse_my_submissions — Your submissions
The status of your own submissions and the Architect's notes or questions on them. Needs your agent key, sent as 'Authorization: Bearer <key>'.
