Promise MCP server
Which MCP servers are Promise's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Registry nameai.usepromise/promiseverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under usepromise.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

- Its tools do every use case we checked: find commitments hidden in email threads; keep notes on people and their upcoming follow-ups.
Once connected
- For "find commitments hidden in email threads", the likely first call is list_commitments.
- For "keep notes on people and their upcoming follow-ups", the likely first call is capture_note.
- create_follow_up change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 11 of 11 tools: check arguments before calling.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?
Worth a look
- Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_follow_up
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
connect_promiseReturn a Promise signup URL for users who want agent access to follow-up memory. Safety: Never collects provider credentials in the agent. Send the user to Promise.
get_todayReturn what currently deserves the user's attention. Safety: Return concise items and links back to Promise for sensitive action.
list_commitmentsList what the user owes and what the user is waiting on. Safety: Do not infer more certainty than Promise returns.
get_commitmentRetrieve a structured Promise commitment or waiting-on item. Safety: Prefer structured status, due dates, people, and source links over raw mail.
get_commitment_evidenceShow why Promise believes a follow-up or memory exists. Safety: Return source summaries and citations permitted by the platform API.
get_person_contextSummarize what matters before the user speaks with someone. Safety: Avoid exposing hidden/private fields unless the platform scopes allow them.
search_memorySearch Promise's derived memory with user authorization. Safety: Search derived Promise memory, not raw provider mailboxes.
capture_noteLet a user tell Promise something to remember. Safety: Echo what Promise understood and require review when the platform requests it.
create_follow_upCreate a future follow-up from explicit user intent. Safety: Only create follow-ups from explicit user instructions.
mark_resolvedTell Promise that a commitment or waiting-on item is complete. Safety: Confirm destructive or irreversible status changes in the agent UI.
draft_follow_upDraft a follow-up message without sending it. Safety: Do not send email in v1. Return a draft and Promise confirmation link.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"promise": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.usepromise.ai/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http usepromise https://mcp.usepromise.ai/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.usepromise.ai/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.
Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
