New grounded-mcp server adds trust and safety to AI knowledge base access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server called grounded-mcp has been developed to address trust issues in AI agents accessing company knowledge bases. This server implements three key guardrails: providing stable citations for every response, abstaining from answering when relevance is low, and enforcing content entitlements at the index level. The system's evaluation suite is integrated as a Continuous Integration (CI) gate, which successfully identified a bug where the server provided confident but incorrect answers due to overlapping BM25 scores and insufficient coverage checks.
