Qiniso
Deterministic fact verification for AI agents — checksums & curated data, not guesses.
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).
claude mcp add --transport http qiniso 'https://qiniso.qinisolabs.workers.dev/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"qiniso": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://qiniso.qinisolabs.workers.dev/mcp"
}
}
}
@qinisolabs/qinisoclaude mcp add qiniso -- npx -y @qinisolabs/qiniso@0.5.0
{
"mcpServers": {
"qiniso": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@qinisolabs/qiniso@0.5.0"
]
}
}

Qiniso
The deterministic fact-verification layer for AI agents.
Verified, trustworthy data tools for AI agents. "Qiniso" means "truth" in Zulu.
Website · npm · MCP endpoint · MCP Registry
Agents confidently emit IBANs, phone numbers, domains, VAT numbers and crypto addresses that are subtly — and silently — wrong. Qiniso checks the structured facts an agent produces against checksums and curated authoritative data, so a bad value is caught instead of trusted.
It's the deterministic complement to the guardrail stack: security guardrails check whether output is safe, structure guardrails check it's well-formed, and hallucination guardrails ask another LLM if it's faithful to the prompt. None of them check whether a structured fact is actually correct against the real world — because that needs computation or curated data, not another model's opinion. That's Qiniso.
On arbitrary identifiers, a frontier LLM validates them wrong ~91% of the time, cold and silently. Qiniso: 0%.

Stateless, reads no user data, requires no secrets.
Use it as a library
Every check is also a typed function — no MCP required:
npm i @qinisolabs/qiniso
import { validateIban, validateVat } from "@qinisolabs/qiniso";
validateIban("GB82 WEST 1234 5698 7654 32");
// { valid: true, country: "United Kingdom", ... }
What it verifies — 56 tools across 8 domains
| Domain | Tools |
|---|---|
| Identifiers | IBAN, payment card (Luhn + brand), ISBN-13, VIN, GTIN/UPC/EAN barcodes (+ GS1 country) |
| Web / network | TLD & domain (IANA root zone), IP, UUID, URL, email |
| Finance | ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL, LEI, US ABA routing |
| Crypto | Ethereum (EIP-55), Bitcoin (Base58Check / Bech32) addresses |
| National & tax IDs | Brazil CPF/CNPJ, South Africa ID, Spain DNI/NIE, India Aadhaar, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Nordics, Portugal, Turkey, China, Germany Steuer-IdNr, France NIR, Switzerland AHV, Mexico CURP, Croatia OIB, Romania CNP, Bulgaria EGN, Estonia, Czech/Slovak rodné číslo, EU/UK VAT |
| Academic | ISBN-10, ISSN, ORCID |
| Locale | Phone (global), date parsing, currency, holidays (~200 countries), UK VAT-by-date |
| Addresses | UK/US address parsing |
Each tool wraps an authoritative method — a published checksum standard, an audited library (libphonenumber-js, jsvat, date-holidays, @noble/hashes), or curated reference data (the IANA root zone, UK VAT history).
What it is not
- Not a live-data provider. It verifies facts you give it; it does not return the current time, weather, or live exchange rates.
- Not a credential sink. It never asks for secrets or API keys. (For JWT signature verification, use a library in your own runtime so the secret never leaves your machine.)
- Not a registration check. It validates a VAT number's checksum, not whether it is live-registered (VIES); it confirms a domain's TLD is real, not that the domain is registered.
Architecture
A TypeScript monorepo. Each domain is a typed library in packages/*; the qiniso umbrella aggregates them and exposes one MCP server over three transports — stdio (local / npx), Streamable HTTP (self-host), and a Cloudflare Worker (the hosted edge endpoint). The same core powers the importable library.

Frequently asked questions
What is Qiniso?
Deterministic fact verification for AI agents — checksums & curated data, not guesses.
How do I install Qiniso?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http qiniso 'https://qiniso.qinisolabs.workers.dev/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Qiniso 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 Qiniso open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license.
Who maintains Qiniso?
It is published by qinisolabs. 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.
