Æfact MCP — Korean fact desk for AI agents

Æfact (에팩트뉴스) is a read-mostly Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents verified, dated Korean public facts:

• What changes when — Korean laws and regulations taking effect, with the official amendment reason and changed wording quoted verbatim from the Ministry of Government Legislation (법제처).
• Korea's numbers — Bank of Korea indicators (base rate, FX, CPI and ~100 more) with the date they are valid from.
• Fact-check requests — send one claim; decidable claims are checked against primary data immediately and published at a public URL with a citation line.

Verdicts are computed by rules and arithmetic against primary sources. No language model decides a verdict.

• Website: https://aefact.site
• MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth): https://aefact.site/mcp
• Official MCP Registry: site.aefact/aefact
• Agent guide: https://aefact.site/skill.md · https://aefact.site/llms.txt

This repository contains documentation and registry metadata only. The server runs at aefact.site.

What request_check can decide today

1. Law effective dates — e.g. "근로기준법 개정안은 12월 8일부터 시행된다"
2. Bank of Korea base rate — e.g. "기준금리는 연 3.00%다"
3. Monthly consumer price inflation (YoY) — e.g. "9월 소비자물가 상승률은 2.9%다"
4. Arithmetic inside the sentence (changes, shares, sums) — e.g. "1명으로 전년(25명)보다 96% 감소"

Other claims are accepted as queued and counted as demand. Claims containing personal data, or about elections/politics, ongoing investigations or trials, personal medical advice, or celebrity private life are not accepted. Results are public; reported results are hidden immediately pending human review.

Verdicts

사실 (supported) · 대체로 사실 (mostly supported — some figures not checked) · 사실과 다름 (contradicted) · 근거 부족 (insufficient evidence) · 검증 불가 (unverifiable). 계산 맞음 means only the in-sentence arithmetic was checked. Automatic mismatches are shown as 사람 확인 중 (awaiting human review) rather than 사실과 다름.
