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.

Whose server it is
  • 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.

  • Tools11
  • Server calls itselfPromise MCP
  • Server version0.1.0
  • Protocol version2025-03-26

On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 406 ms.

Should an agent connect itConnect it, with care
  • 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.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · find commitments hidden in email threads
  • not sure · check and save follow-ups before they are missed
  • can do · keep notes on people and their upcoming follow-ups

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_promise

    Return 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_today

    Return what currently deserves the user's attention. Safety: Return concise items and links back to Promise for sensitive action.

  • list_commitments

    List what the user owes and what the user is waiting on. Safety: Do not infer more certainty than Promise returns.

  • get_commitment

    Retrieve a structured Promise commitment or waiting-on item. Safety: Prefer structured status, due dates, people, and source links over raw mail.

  • get_commitment_evidence

    Show why Promise believes a follow-up or memory exists. Safety: Return source summaries and citations permitted by the platform API.

  • get_person_context

    Summarize what matters before the user speaks with someone. Safety: Avoid exposing hidden/private fields unless the platform scopes allow them.

  • search_memory

    Search Promise's derived memory with user authorization. Safety: Search derived Promise memory, not raw provider mailboxes.

  • capture_note

    Let a user tell Promise something to remember. Safety: Echo what Promise understood and require review when the platform requests it.

  • create_follow_up

    Create a future follow-up from explicit user intent. Safety: Only create follow-ups from explicit user instructions.

  • mark_resolved

    Tell Promise that a commitment or waiting-on item is complete. Safety: Confirm destructive or irreversible status changes in the agent UI.

  • draft_follow_up

    Draft 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/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.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.
