Knownset for developers / Private preview

Add trusted health context to your product.

Start with four read-only tools and made-up data. Each result is small, includes its sources, and cannot change a person's record.

01 / Try one request

See the request, the checks, and the result.

Choose a tool below. The animated sample shows what happens before a read-only answer reaches your product.

SAFE REQUEST / SYNTHETIC DATA

MCP is a standard way for an AI product to call a tool. This example is read-only.

REQUEST

Get a short answer with its sources attached.

The sample returns a readiness summary for one day without exposing raw provider files.

Step 1: Check access

02 / Setup guide

Run all four sample tools on your computer.

You need private-preview repository access, Node 22, Corepack, and Docker. These commands start the made-up environment and run the included client against the protected tool server.

  1. 01
    Install the workspace

    Corepack uses the exact pnpm version pinned by the repository.

  2. 02
    Start the sample platform

    The local controller waits until the database, sign-in, services, and made-up data are ready.

  3. 03
    Approve the sample data

    The command asks for an explicit --yes before it turns on access for the fixed demo member.

  4. 04
    Run the included client

    The client signs in, finds four tools, and follows one insight back to its sources.

LOCAL / PRIVATE PREVIEWNODE 22 + DOCKER

corepack pnpm install
corepack pnpm local:up
corepack pnpm --filter @knownset/mcp example:activate-local-demo -- --yes
corepack pnpm --filter @knownset/mcp example:local
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

All four reads finish and the evidence links back to the sample sources.

04 / Who can read what

Your server—not the AI—chooses whose data can be read.

Identity and permission are checked before a tool reads anything. The AI client cannot switch the organization, person, or approved purpose.

Registering 00 / 05
  1. The person signs in and approves access for this product.
  2. Knownset checks that the request is valid, current, and still allowed.
  3. The server—not the AI—selects the organization and person.
  4. A short-lived server credential reads only the approved data.
  5. The result includes only what is needed, with sources and an audit record.
