Raziel

Raziel is the Tide MCP — it gives AI coding agents the knowledge to implement TideCloak correctly.

This MCP server gives your AI assistant deep knowledge of Tide authentication, threshold cryptography, end-to-end encryption, IGA governance, and Forseti smart contracts — plus a security gap analysis of your existing system and self-host vs managed-hosting guidance. Instead of guessing, your AI follows verified playbooks.

Quick Start

Raziel is a standard MCP server — it works with any AI coding agent or MCP client. The universal way to add it is a project-level .mcp.json; most clients also have their own native config, shown below.

Any MCP client (project-level config)

Add a .mcp.json file to your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tide-pack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tideorg/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible tool.

Claude Code (CLI or VS Code extension)

Run this one command:

claude mcp add tide-pack -- npx -y @tideorg/mcp

Then start a conversation and ask your agent to add Tide auth to your app.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tide-pack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tideorg/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server:

• Name: tide-pack
• Command: npx
• Args: -y @tideorg/mcp

Or add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root.

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tide": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tide.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or for local: "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@tideorg/mcp"]

Zed

Add to your Zed settings (~/.config/zed/settings.json):

{
  "context_servers": {
    "tide": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@tideorg/mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Zed uses context_servers (not mcpServers) and doesn't yet support remote URL-based MCP servers — use the npx command.

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tideorg/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Note: Codex CLI currently supports stdio-based MCP servers only — use the npx command.

Lovable

Lovable's build agent can use Raziel through a Custom MCP connector (available on all plans). In your Lovable project, open Connectors → Custom MCP (the card at the bottom) and add:

• Server name: Raziel
• Server URL: https://mcp.tide.org/mcp
• Authentication: No authentication

Then tell the agent to use it — e.g. "Use the Raziel connector to pull the TideCloak playbook before writing any auth code."

Two things that trip people up:

• You attach it, not the agent. Lovable's agent can't add connectors and won't find Tide in the prebuilt catalog (Tide isn't a catalog partner). Add it yourself in the Connectors panel, then point the agent at it — otherwise it will say it "has no way to connect."
• It's a build-time connector. It gives Lovable's agent verified Tide knowledge while it generates your app; it does not run inside the published app. You still wire TideCloak into the generated app the normal way.

What your AI can do with this

Once connected, your AI assistant can:

• Analyze your existing system for security gaps and map each one to what Tide fixes (with an honest "what Tide does NOT fix" list)
• Add Tide auth to a new or existing Next.js/React app
• Protect API routes with server-side JWT + DPoP verification
• Set up role-based access with Tide's IGA governance
• Deploy Forseti smart contracts for policy-governed encryption and signing
• Bootstrap TideCloak — self-hosted (Docker) or partner-hosted (Skycloak) — to a fully configured realm
• Diagnose issues like broken login, missing roles, CORS errors
• Follow security invariants that prevent common auth mistakes

Try it

After setup, try these prompts in your AI coding tool:

Do a security analysis of my app and show what Tide would change

Add Tide authentication to my Next.js app

I have an existing app with auth — help me migrate to Tide

Set up encrypted data sharing between users with Tide

Help me create a Forseti contract for multi-admin approval

Remote Server (no install required)

We host the MCP server so you don't have to install anything. Just add the URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tide": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tide.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No Node.js required. No npx. Works with any MCP client that supports remote servers.

Self-hosting

Want to run your own instance? Pull from Docker Hub:

docker run -p 3000:3000 tideorg/mcp

Or build from source:

docker build -t tideorg/mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 tideorg/mcp

Then point your MCP client at http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Optional: set API_TOKEN environment variable to require Bearer token auth:

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e API_TOKEN=your-secret tideorg/mcp

Requirements

• Remote server: None (just an MCP client that supports remote URLs)
• npm/npx install: Node.js 18+
• Self-hosted Docker: Docker

No TideCloak instance needed to start — the agent will guide you through setup.

Privacy

The MCP server is read-only. Run locally (npx), it collects nothing — no accounts, no telemetry, no storage. The hosted mcp.tide.org endpoint records aggregate usage geography (approximate location only, never request content or tool arguments) to see where it's used. Full details in PRIVACY.md.
