Euclid-MCP

[Euclid-MCP MCP server] [PyPI version] [Python versions] [License] [CI] [Coverage]

MCP server for logical reasoning — turns facts into formal proofs.

Euclid-MCP is a hybrid cognitive architecture: a lightweight LLM describes the world in facts, and a deterministic engine performs the actual deduction. The LLM never needs to reason — it only needs to describe.

With Euclid-MCP, an 8B model can solve reasoning tasks that stump even 400B+ cloud models — because the engine handles deduction deterministically. Every answer comes with a proof tree, so you can trace why a conclusion holds, not just what it is. Use it to enforce RBAC policies, audit cloud compliance, validate loan eligibility rules, or reason over any domain where answers must be explainable and verifiable.

Euclid-MCP is written in Python and uses Euclid-IR, a human-readable intermediate language designed for both AI agents and humans. It uses SWI-Prolog as its primary inference engine — and, where SWI-Prolog is not available (e.g. minimal containers), a pure-Python native engine that interprets Euclid-IR directly (see docs/NATIVE_ENGINE.md). It can be consumed in multiple ways: via MCP by AI agents (OpenCode, Claude, Cursor), via HTTP by tools and automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make), and via Python API for direct integration. Euclid-IR rules can also be used to augment RAG pipelines with deterministic policy enforcement.

How it works

┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐│  LLM/Agent   │────▶│  Euclid-MCP      │────▶│  Translator  │────▶│  SWI-Prolog     ││  (MCP Client)│◀────│  (MCPServer)     │◀────│  + Meta-IP   │◀────│  (persistent)   │└──────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └──────────────┘     └─────────────────┘

1. Receive facts, rules, and a query in a simple intermediate language
2. Translate into Prolog with a meta-interpreter for proof tree capture
3. Execute via a persistent SWI-Prolog engine process (JSON-lines protocol on stdin/stdout; the workspace is reloaded per call, no process spawn overhead)
4. Return solutions + proof trees as structured JSON

Additional tools (explain, diagnose, what_if, check_kb) extend this core flow with natural-language explanations, analysis, scenario testing, and validation.

LLMs describe. Euclid MCP proves.

Knowledge Base

For small knowledge bases, facts and rules can be provided with each request.

A knowledge base can be loaded at server startup and reused across calls, so agents only pass the session-specific facts for the current query. This minimizes token usage, improves performance, and allows small LLMs to reason over large rule sets without reconstructing the entire knowledge base for every request.

Intermediate Language

Even if currently Euclid-MCP uses a Prolog Engine, no Prolog syntax is required.
Euclid-IR (Intermediate Representation) is a declarative intermediate representation for logical inference. Variables use $name, implication is IF, conjunction is AND.

Text format:

human(socrates)mortal($x) IF human($x)
? mortal($who)

YAML format:

facts:  - parent(tom, bob)  - parent(bob, ann)  - parent(tom, liz)rules:  - ancestor($x, $y) IF parent($x, $y)  - ancestor($x, $y) IF parent($x, $z) AND ancestor($z, $y)
query: ancestor(tom, $who)

Euclid-IR Syntax Reference

Arithmetic Comparisons

Rules support arithmetic comparisons that are evaluated during deduction:

# Stale access: users who haven't logged in for 90+ daysstale_access($user) IF    user($user) AND last_login_days($user, $days) AND $days > 90
# Excessive permissions: more than 15 direct permissionsexcessive_permissions($user, $count) IF    user($user) AND permission_count($user, $count) AND $count > 15
# Clearance check: user clearance >= resource classificationcan_access($user, $resource) IF    user($user) AND resource($resource, _, _, _, _, $cls) AND    classification($cls, $cls_level, _) AND    user_clearance($user, $user_level) AND $user_level >= $cls_level

Supported operators: >, >=, <, <=, ==, is, !=

Multi-line Rules

Rules can span multiple lines for readability:

can_deploy($user, $env) IF    user($user) AND    has_role($user, $role) AND    deploy_requires_level($env, $min) AND    deploy_role_level($role, $level) AND    $level >= $min AND    user_has_permission($user, deploy_code)

Conjunctions in Queries

Queries can combine multiple predicates:

? can_access_resource($who, $res) AND resource($res, _, _, _, _, secret)

This returns solutions where both conditions are satisfied simultaneously.

Disjunction (OR)

Rule bodies can express alternatives with OR. The parser expands each alternative into its own Horn clause at load time — the solver only ever sees pure Horn clauses:

# A user can deploy when they are an admin, OR a dev on an approved envcan_deploy($u, $env) IF    is_admin($u) OR    (has_role($u, dev) AND env_approved($u, $env))

AND binds tighter than OR; parenthesized groups expand distributively. NOT applies to single goals only. A # RULE: <id> is carried by every expanded branch, so proofs stay auditable against the source rule.

Why External Inference?

The external inference gives several advantages:

• deterministic
• explainable
• verifiable
• inexpensive
• replaceable backend

In the current implementation Euclid-MCP uses Prolog.
Prolog is a 50-year-old battle-tested logic engine. Using it as a "deduction coprocessor" lets small LLMs perform complex multi-step reasoning without needing larger, more expensive models. The intermediate language strips away Prolog's syntax quirks while keeping its logical core.

A specific benchmark demonstrate the difference: with 1 000+ facts, LLMs alone score 2/5 while Euclid-MCP scores 5/5 — and runs 7× faster while outputting 14× fewer tokens.

Tools

Euclid-MCP exposes 8 tools, each with a specific purpose:

reason

Main tool for verifiable deterministic reasoning.

Returns ReasonResult with solutions[] — each containing variable bindings and a proof tree.

explain

Deterministic proof-tree → natural-language reasoning steps. No LLM involved: it walks the proof tree of each solution and renders every step in plain language, citing the rule ID (# RULE: <id>) when a rule has one. Use it to turn a proof into an auditable, human-readable explanation.

Returns ExplanationResult with explanations[] — each containing variable bindings, an ordered list of natural-language steps, and language-independent structured_steps (typed kind/goal/rule_id/body, ready for localized rendering in a UI).

diagnose

Query analysis — understand why a query succeeds or fails.

Modes:

• why — explain why a query holds (or that it doesn't)
• why_not — explain why a query fails (missing facts/rules)
• what_needs — suggest what would make a false query true

Returns DiagnosisResult with holds, findings[], conclusion, and optionally proof.

what_if

Scenario analysis — apply modifications to a knowledge base and compare results.

Returns WhatIfResult with before_count, after_count, delta, solutions_before, solutions_after, conclusion.

check_kb

Knowledge base validator — check for consistency before running deduction.

Returns KBCheckResult with valid, errors[], warnings[], facts_count, rules_count, predicates_count, and predicates[] — the predicate inventory (name → arities, facts, rules counts) that doubles as the contract for LLM extraction.

KB identity in results

Every tool result — ReasonResult, ExplanationResult, DiagnosisResult, WhatIfResult, and KBCheckResult — carries two identity fields:

The fields are present on every return path, including error branches, so a result can always be pinned to the exact KB it was computed from: anyone with the .euclid text and Euclid-MCP can recompute the hash and verify it. This is the foundation for KB versioning, signatures, and audit trails built on top of the engine.

{  "query": "mortal($who)",  "solutions": [...],  "elapsed_ms": 12.4,  "content_hash": "a3f9c1e4b82d55f0…",  "version": "1.0"}

KB Preload

A knowledge base can be loaded once at server startup and reused across calls, so agents only pass the session-specific facts for the current query.

Preload a KB by file path, via the EUCLID_KB_PATH environment variable or a --kb-path CLI flag:

# Environment variableEUCLID_KB_PATH=/path/to/policies.euclid python3 -m euclid_mcp
# CLI flag (MCP stdio, console script, and HTTP API)python3 -m euclid_mcp --kb-path /path/to/policies.euclidpython3 integrations/euclid_api.py --kb-path /path/to/policies.euclid --port 8080

Behavior:

• The file is validated with check_kb at startup and the server fails fast with a clear message if the file is missing, unreadable, oversized, or invalid.
• knowledge/base_knowledge on reason, explain, diagnose, what_if, and check_kb become optional: an explicit value always wins, an empty value falls back to the preloaded KB. With neither, tools return a clear "No knowledge provided" error.
• A markdown digest of the preloaded KB (fact/rule/predicate counts, predicate inventory, rules with their IDs) is appended to the server instructions, so agents can see what the KB covers without extra tool calls.

Backward compatible: passing knowledge explicitly behaves exactly as before.

Named KBs (kb_id + delta_knowledge)

A KB can also be registered once under a kb_id and then referenced on every call without resending the text — the in-memory registry is per server instance, so replicas re-register their KBs on startup (matching the scale-out model of the HTTP API). Up to 32 KBs per instance; register_kb overwrites an existing kb_id (update semantics for idempotency).

# Register once — validated with check_kb firstregister_kb(kb_id="rbac-policy", knowledge="has_role(alice, admin) ...\n? $role ...")
# Reference it on every callresult = reason(kb_id="rbac-policy", query="can_deploy($user, prod)")
# Session-specific facts on top of the registered base (no re-registration):result = reason(    kb_id="rbac-policy",    delta_knowledge="has_role(alice, dev)\nhas_env(dev, staging)",    query="can_deploy($user, staging)",)

• register_kb(kb_id, knowledge) — validates the kb_id (allowlist [a-z0-9_-]{1,64}) and the KB (check_kb), then stores it. Returns the record: registered, kb_id, content_hash, version, facts, rules, predicates. Unknown ids are rejected; a full registry returns an error.
• unregister_kb(kb_id) — removes the KB; returns removed: true/false.
• list_kbs() — lists registered KBs (metadata only, no source text).

Resolution precedence on reason, explain, diagnose, what_if, check_kb: explicit knowledge/base_knowledge wins → else kb_id (unknown id → Unknown kb_id: <id>; delta_knowledge is concatenated to the registered source) → else the EUCLID_KB_PATH preload → else a clear "No knowledge provided" error. delta_knowledge without a kb_id is an error. content_hash/version on a kb_id result are computed from the effective source (base + delta), so a result can always be pinned to the exact text reasoned over.

The HTTP API exposes the same flow as POST /register-kb, POST /unregister-kb, and POST /list-kbs.

Usage

Via MCP (OpenCode, Claude, etc.)

{  "mcpServers": {    "euclid-mcp": {      "command": "python3",      "args": ["-m", "euclid_mcp"],      "cwd": "/path/to/euclid-mcp"    }  }}

Via Python

# What-if — how does adding a fact change results?scenario = what_if(    base_knowledge="human(socrates)\nmortal($x) IF human($x)",    modifications="+ human(plato)",    query="mortal($who)")print(f"Before: {scenario.before_count}, After: {scenario.after_count}")
# KB validationcheck = check_kb(knowledge="human(socrates)\nmortal($x) IF human($x)")print(f"Valid: {check.valid}, Errors: {check.errors}")

Via CLI

The euclid-cli command wraps the five reasoning tools (reason, explain, diagnose, what_if, check_kb) for the terminal. It reads the KB from a .euclid file (-f), inline (--knowledge), or falls back to EUCLID_KB_PATH/preload, and selects the backend with --backend (auto | prolog | native). Queries come from --query or from the ? lines inside the KB file.

Run with no subcommand to open an interactive Euclid-IR REPL — type facts, rules and ? query lines directly, like you would in swipl or psql. The session knowledge base accumulates across queries.

$ euclid-cliEuclid-MCP REPL — type facts and rules in Euclid-IR, then `? query`.Commands: :help  :check  :kb  :load  :explain  :diagnose  :what-if  :reset  :quit
euclid > human(socrates)euclid > mortal($x) IF human($x)euclid > ? mortal($who)Query: mortal($who)Solution 1:  who: socratesmortal(socrates)  [rule]  human(socrates)  [fact]
euclid > :what-if + human(plato)Solutions: 1 -> 2 (delta: more)euclid > :quit

REPL meta-commands: :check, :kb, :load <file>, :explain [query], :diagnose <query> [why|why_not|what_needs], :what-if <mods>, :reset, :quit. Multi-line rules continue after IF/AND (prompt becomes ... >). Piped input runs the same loop as a batch script without prompts:

printf 'human(socrates)\nmortal($x) IF human($x)\n? mortal($who)\n' | euclid-cli

# Validate a knowledge baseeuclid-cli check -f policies.euclid
# Run a deduction (query taken from the ? line in the file)euclid-cli reason -f policies.euclid

# Force the pure-Python native engine (no SWI-Prolog)euclid-cli --backend native reason -f policies.euclid
# Machine-readable outputeuclid-cli reason -f policies.euclid --json

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when the tool reports an error (including an invalid KB from check), 2 on usage errors.

Rules can carry an audit-trail ID via a trailing # RULE: <id> comment; the ID is surfaced as rule_id on the rule nodes of the proof tree, so a decision can be cited ("this derives from rule GEN-2").

Diagnose output

Use cases

• Small LLM reasoning: Offload deduction from LLMs (3-8B) to a deterministic engine
• Explainable decisions: Every answer comes with a proof tree which allows explanation, reasoning trace, and justification
• Business rules: Validate logic chains (permissions, workflows, compliance)
• Dependency analysis: Circular dependency detection, topological ordering
• Education: Interactive logic tutoring with visible proof chains (see docs/DIDACTIC.md, a step-by-step teaching guide built around the euclid-cli REPL)
• Knowledge preload: Complex business rules can be loaded in Euclid instead of using a vector database
• Query diagnosis: Understand why queries fail and what facts/rules are missing
• Scenario analysis: Test "what-if" modifications before applying them to production
• KB validation: Check knowledge bases for consistency before reasoning

Real-world examples

There are several examples provided as samples: Genealogy, RBAC, Classification, Loan Eligibility, Cluedo Detective, IT Security & Compliance, LLM vs Euclid-MCP, ... Most interesting ones are the IT Security & Compliance (with CIS, AWS, IAM Standards enforcement, Company Policies implementation, hundreds of Data Facts) and side-by-side LLM vs Euclid-MCP.

Docker

The Docker image bundles SWI-Prolog + Python, so no local prerequisites are needed. Base image: swipl:stable (Debian Bookworm).

Two modes via docker-compose:

# MCP stdio — pipe to a local MCP clientdocker compose run --rm euclid-mcp
# HTTP API — expose REST endpoints on port 8080docker compose up euclid-api

Standalone usage:

# Builddocker build -t euclid-mcp .
# Run HTTP APIdocker run --rm -p 8080:8080 euclid-mcp \  python3 integrations/euclid_api.py --port 8080
# Run MCP stdio (interactive)docker run --rm -i euclid-mcp
# Quick test — reason directly from CLIdocker run --rm euclid-mcp python3 -c "from euclid_mcp.server import reasonr = reason(knowledge='human(socrates)\nmortal(\$x) IF human(\$x)\n? mortal(\$who)')print(r.solutions[0].substitutions)"

Docker image size: ~370 MB (SWI-Prolog + Python 3.11 + dependencies).

Native-only (slim): a smaller image with the pure-Python Euclid-IR engine and no SWI-Prolog (EUCLID_BACKEND=native). Best for containers with limited space or as the default for small knowledge bases.

# Builddocker build -f Dockerfile.native -t euclid-mcp-native .

Scalability

Euclid-MCP engine is persistent: a single long-lived SWI-Prolog process per server instance, reloaded per request over a JSON-lines pipe instead of booting Prolog for every call. A single instance handles one request at a time. Requests stay stateless: each one brings its own knowledge base (or uses the preloaded one), so instances share nothing.

This makes Euclid-MCP horizontally scalable:

• HTTP API — run any number of instances behind a load balancer (nginx, a Kubernetes Service, …). No session affinity needed: any instance can serve any request.
• MCP stdio — each MCP client spawns its own instance by design, giving natural isolation and parallelism across clients.
• Resource footprint — one swipl process per instance (~tens of MB) instead of one short-lived process per request, so a single instance serves many requests cheaply.

Reference production architecture — load balancing, resource limits, security hardening, and monitoring for a replica battery behind HAProxy: docs/PRODUCTION.md.

Development

Requirements: Python ≥ 3.10, SWI-Prolog.

# Install in editable mode with dev dependenciespython3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activatepip install -e ".[dev]"
# Lintruff check .
# Type checkmypy euclid_mcp integrations
# Tests with coveragepytest --cov=euclid_mcp --cov=integrations

The CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs these same checks on push and pull request, across Python 3.10–3.14.

Logging & tracing

Every tool call is logged with its name, elapsed time, and outcome. Enable structured logs by setting EUCLID_LOG_LEVEL (one of DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL) — e.g. EUCLID_LOG_LEVEL=INFO. Without the variable, only warnings and errors are emitted.

The HTTP API also supports request tracing: send an X-Request-Id header and it is echoed back on the response and included in the access logs.

Monitoring & metrics

The HTTP API exposes Prometheus metrics on GET /metrics (open, read-only, never carries KB content): per-tool call/error counters and latency histograms, engine requests/restarts/timeouts, HTTP traffic, solutions returned, auth failures and process uptime — always on, zero dependencies (euclid_mcp/metrics.py). GET /health is a deep check that pings the engine and reports its workspace stats (503 only when a wedged engine exists).

curl -s localhost:8080/metrics

For a full stack (Prometheus + Grafana + cAdvisor, dashboard and alert rules included): monitoring/README.md.

What is Prolog?

Prolog (from PROgrammation en LOGique) is a declarative logic programming language: instead of telling the machine how to compute an answer, you state facts and rules and let it find what follows from them, using unification and backtracking. Born in the early 1970s, it remains one of the most battle-tested tools for symbolic reasoning.

[SWI-Prolog]

Euclid-MCP uses SWI-Prolog as its inference engine. SWI-Prolog is a mature open-source implementation — continuously developed and freely available since 1987 — widely used in industry, academia, and research. You write your rules in Euclid-IR; the translator compiles them to Prolog, and SWI-Prolog performs the deduction and produces the proof trees that make every Euclid-MCP answer verifiable.

How is Euclid?

Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician. Living and teaching in Alexandria, he built the foundations of geometry and number theory using rigorous logical proofs.

Euclid-MCP is not:

• an LLM
• a knowledge base
• a vector database
• an agent framework
• a planner

Euclid-MCP is a deterministic inference engine that can be used by any of them.
Euclid-MCP allows deterministic and explainable replies from small LLMs on Edge hardware too.
