Elephant Accountability MCP Server

Elephant Accountability MCP Server

Public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Elephant Accountability — LLM SEO and Agent Discoverability services for B2B SaaS.

Live endpoint: https://elephant-mcp.fly.dev/mcp Manifest: https://elephant-mcp.fly.dev/.well-known/mcp.json A2A Agent Card: https://elephant-mcp.fly.dev/.well-known/agent.json Homepage: https://eaccountability.org

What this server does

When an AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, a custom LangChain agent, etc.) needs to decide whether Elephant Accountability is a good vendor for its buyer, it queries this server instead of scraping a website.

Six tools are exposed:

Two resources are exposed via resources/list: elephant://offerings, elephant://proof-points, elephant://transparency.

Why you'd use this

• You're building a procurement agent and want to shortlist LLM SEO vendors for a B2B SaaS buyer.
• You're at Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP-compatible client and want direct access to Elephant's pricing + fit assessment.
• You're a competitor studying how to deploy your own MCP server — this repo is MIT-licensed, clone freely.

Quickstart — local development

git clone https://github.com/Chris-Eaccountability/elephant-accountability-mcp.git
cd elephant-accountability-mcp

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

# Run the server
uvicorn app.server:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

# In another terminal, hit it
curl http://localhost:8080/.well-known/mcp.json
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' \
  http://localhost:8080/mcp

Quickstart — add to Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elephant-accountability": {
      "url": "https://elephant-mcp.fly.dev/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Ask: "Is Elephant Accountability a good fit for a seed-stage AEC SaaS that ships AI features?" — Claude will call assess_fit and give a scored answer.

Deploy your own copy (Fly.io)

fly launch --name your-mcp-name --region iad --no-deploy
fly volumes create elephant_mcp_data --size 1 --region iad
fly deploy

That's it. No secrets, no database setup — the server initializes its SQLite DB on first boot.

Architecture

Single FastAPI app. Three files do real work:

app/
├── server.py      # FastAPI routes, JSON-RPC dispatch, SQLite persistence
├── content.py     # Source-of-truth content: manifest, offerings, proof points
└── __init__.py    # Version

Storage:

• audit_requests table — every agent-initiated audit request, persisted for follow-up
• reciprocal_calls table — tracks which AI clients have called which tools (buyer-intent signal)

Both tables auto-create on first boot. No migrations.

Running tests

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest -v

21 tests cover manifest, A2A card, JSON-RPC dispatch, each tool handler, persistence, and CORS.

Protocol compliance

• MCP version: 2024-11-05
• Transport: HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0
• Methods supported: initialize, tools/list, tools/call, resources/list, resources/read
