Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

rightis-js

Use this before your code generates a real person's face, voice or persona. Image, video and voice models, face swap, voice cloning, AI avatars and chat personas of real people or registered characters: ask Rightis first, on the server, before the generation call.

Rightis is a public registry of identity rights. People and rights holders register a likeness and say which AI uses they allow, want to approve, or refuse. This repository is the JavaScript SDK and CLI.

PackagePathWhat it is
@rightis/sdkpackages/sdkTyped client: rights checks, licences, usage, webhook verification
rightispackages/clinpx rightis: check from the terminal, log in, get a sandbox key

30-second quickstart

npm install @rightis/sdk
npx rightis check BR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX --use "instagram ad" --asset face --public
import { Rightis } from '@rightis/sdk';

const rightis = new Rightis(); // server only; reads RIGHTIS_SECRET_KEY, keyless without it
const result = await rightis.rights.check({
  rights_id: 'BR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX',
  use_type: 'instagram ad',
  ai_methods: ['image_generation'],
  asset_types: ['face'],
  territory: ['US'],
});
console.log(result.decision, result.next_action.type, result.next_action.url);

Read next_action, not just decision:

decisionnext_action.typeMeaning
allowedrequest_licensePre-approved scopes. Not free use: the licence request is approved without the holder reviewing it if the fee clears their floor. Still request it.
requires_approvalrequest_licenseThe holder decides each request.
unspecifiedrequest_licenseThe holder has said nothing. Not a yes.
deniedstopRefused. Do not generate.
nullnot_registeredNot in the registry. Not cleared.
nulldescribe_useRegistered, but no use was described. Add use_type, ai_methods, asset_types.

A failed lookup is not "not registered": on any RightisError, do not generate. The SDK deliberately ships no boolean that turns a decision into "go ahead".

Only have a name? rightis.rights.search('name') returns listed registrations with their Rights ID. No match is not clearance.

For AI coding assistants

  • Claude Code skill: skills/rightis/SKILL.md. Copy it to .claude/skills/rightis/SKILL.md in your project (or ~/.claude/skills/rightis/).
  • Cursor rule: .cursor/rules/rightis.mdc. Copy it to .cursor/rules/ in your project.
  • Codex and other agents: AGENTS.md, including a snippet to paste into your own AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
  • Keyless MCP server: https://rightis.org/api/public-mcp/mcp (rights_lookup, rights_search, registry_info).

Sandbox

npx rightis login                                   # browser sign-in (OAuth with PKCE)
npx rightis init                                    # sandbox key into .env.local, plus an example file
npx rightis people                                  # the sandbox sample people
npx rightis check BR-SANDBOX-... --use "social media ad" --asset face
node --env-file=.env.local rightis-example.mjs      # the same check from code

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm -r build
pnpm -r test
pnpm -r typecheck

Node 20 or later. Point the SDK and CLI at a local server with RIGHTIS_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 (or --base-url).

Publish with pnpm publish --access public from packages/sdk, then packages/cli. Not npm publish: the CLI's workspace:^ dependency is rewritten only by pnpm.

Frequently asked questions

What is Rightis?

Identity-rights registry lookups before AI generation: is a face, voice or persona registered?

How do I install Rightis?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http rightis 'https://rightis.org/api/public-mcp/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does Rightis need an API key?

Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.

Is Rightis open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains Rightis?

It is published by Backers-Shawn. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
