QuReDec MCP Server

Run a structured QuReDec decision brief from inside Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Status: alpha (2026-04-30). Wired to the live QuReDec public API (/api/v1/brief*, per-user Bearer-token auth). Set QUREDEC_MOCK=1 for offline development.

What this does

Tool	Description
decision_brief	Submit a question; receive a structured, evidence-backed decision brief with citations
get_brief_status	Poll an in-progress brief by ID
list_recent_briefs	List the caller's recent briefs

The completed brief contains: executive_summary, recommendation, confidence (0–1), key_facts[].citation_ids, implications[], actions[] (with effort + impact), risks[] (with severity + citation_ids), and citations[] (with citation_id, title, url, source_type).

Install

pip install quredec-mcp

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/Advanced-Binary-Operations/QuReDec_MCP
cd QuReDec_MCP
pip install -e .

Configure

Generate a QuReDec API key at https://quredec.com/account → API keys. Each key is shown to you exactly once at creation; copy it into a password manager immediately.

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quredec": {
      "command": "quredec-mcp",
      "env": {
        "QUREDEC_API_KEY": "qrd_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional env vars:

• QUREDEC_BASE_URL — defaults to https://quredec.com.
• QUREDEC_MOCK=1 — run against an in-process mock for development.

Usage example

In Claude Code or Claude Desktop:

Use the decision_brief tool to evaluate "Should I migrate from Stripe to LemonSqueezy?"

The brief comes back with: recommendation, confidence score, key facts with inline citation ids, risks, recommended actions, and a public share URL. Briefs typically take 2–5 minutes; the tool blocks and polls by default (timeout 600 s) and falls back to a synthetic running status with a poll hint if the timeout fires.

Pricing

The MCP server is free. Briefs consume credits from your QuReDec account:

• Starter $4.99 — 3 briefs (one-time)
• Pro $49/mo — 30 briefs/mo

See https://quredec.com/pricing.

Development

Unit tests run against the in-process mock (no network, no key required):

pip install -e ".[dev]"
QUREDEC_MOCK=1 pytest

Run the server locally against the mock:

QUREDEC_MOCK=1 quredec-mcp

Live integration test

scripts/integration_test.py exercises the full path against quredec.com: submit → poll → assert brief schema → list. It consumes 1 credit from the account whose key you pass in, so run it sparingly.

QUREDEC_API_KEY=qrd_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx \
  python scripts/integration_test.py

Optional env vars:

• QUREDEC_BASE_URL — defaults to https://quredec.com.
• QUREDEC_QUESTION — override the default seed question.
• QUREDEC_TIMEOUT — poll timeout in seconds (default 600).

Exit code 0 on full pass, 1 on the first failed assertion.
