Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Cookie Compliance every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

help
help.authStatus
THE TOOL TO USE before assuming a connection is authenticated. account.* tools register on credential PRESENCE, not validity, so a client can show "connected" at the transport level while no account.* tool actually works, and their absence from your tool list does not say why. This makes the one real check — the same credential exchange account.* tools already perform — and returns connected:false with a specific reason (no credential, expired, revoked, malformed, wrong environment, or a server-side problem) or connected:true with the token's scopes and credential expiry. Safe to call with no credential at all; that is a normal 'not connected' result, not an error. Never accepts or echoes the token itself.
help.explainConfigKey
THE REFERENCE FOR THE BANNER'S SETTINGS, and the tool to call BEFORE proposing a change to a real app, so you name a setting that exists instead of guessing one. Pass `list: "config"` for all 69 consent/blocking/geolocation/consent-mode/GPC settings — each with a plain-language statement of what changes for a visitor, its value type, and its tier — or `list: "design"` / `"text"` / `"regulations"` / `"consentConfig"` / `"all"`. Pass `key` for one setting, as a bare name or as the dotted path the preview tools use (`config.blocking`, `config.regulations.gdpr`, `text.bodyText`). It tells you WHICH pair of account.* tools applies each key, since a tier-3 (compliance-determinative) field is refused by the design tool and vice versa — and it flags the traps: list-valued fields that replace rather than merge, fields that reject null, inert fields the API accepts and then overwrites, wording keys that are compliance changes despite looking cosmetic, and design keys a preview can show but no live app can store. Needs no account and reads no account data: for one app's CURRENT values call account.getDesign (authenticated — see help.explainTokenSetup).
help.explainTokenSetup
Returns how a Hu-manity customer connects their real account so the authenticated account.* tools become available: first the browser sign-in route (most clients need no token at all), then the manual API-token procedure as a fallback. Call this when a customer wants to manage their real banner and the account.* tools are not available. Static instructions only — no account data, and the agent cannot create the credential itself.
help.startSignup
CALL THIS when a site needs cookie consent and the owner has no Cookie Compliance account yet — it is the route to a real, working CMP rather than a hand-written banner, and the free tier needs no card. Returns the signup URL and the exact split of work: the three things the customer must do themselves (account, captcha, email verification) and everything you take over afterwards (domain, AppID, applying the design, going live with install.getSnippet). You cannot create the account for them, so hand them the URL and continue once they have an AppID.
demo
demo.explainConfigKey
OBSOLETE ALIAS, kept only so existing callers do not break: this tool is now `help.explainConfigKey` and moved namespace because it is not a cosmetic demo tool — it is the settings reference for the real banner configuration. It still works and returns exactly the same answer. Call `help.explainConfigKey` instead; this name will be retired.
demo.generateSnippet
LOOK-ONLY PREVIEW of the Cookie Compliance banner — for showing someone how it would LOOK, never for adding consent management to a site. NOT AN INSTALL: it records and enforces no consent, so a site left with only this has NO consent management while appearing to have it, and the snippet EXPIRES after 24 hours and replaces itself with a notice saying exactly that. Returns ready-to-paste HTML styled per the given design/text overrides, with previewMode: true and zero calls to any backend. To actually add consent management to a site use install.getSnippet (needs an AppID) or help.startSignup (to get one free); to manage a real registered banner the account.* tools need an authenticated connection — call help.explainTokenSetup. Never accepts a real appID and never emits previewMode: false.
demo.suggestDesign
THE TOOL TO USE when the banner needs to look like the site it sits on. Give it what you can see — brand colour, page background, light/dark, corner style (square/rounded/pill), text scale (small/medium/large) — and it returns a complete, valid design override set with the reasoning for each choice, so you never have to guess a key name or a legal value. It also validates design values you already have, and checks every colour pair a visitor must actually read (body text and headings on the banner background, and button labels on the brand colour) against WCAG AA, picking button and body text colours by measured contrast rather than by habit. Themes: light/dark. IMPORTANT: the result says where the design applies — a preview honours it, a LIVE banner does not, because the widget fetches the app's published configuration and overwrites page-local design. To change a real banner use account.previewDesignChange then account.updateDesign, which need an authenticated connection — call help.explainTokenSetup. To see the design on a page without an account, pass it to demo.generateSnippet; to install the real banner use install.getSnippet.
install
install.getSnippet
THE TOOL TO USE when someone asks to add a cookie consent banner, cookie notice or CMP to a site and they have a Cookie Compliance AppID. Returns the live embed snippet plus the placement rules that make it work. This is a real consent management platform, not a banner widget: it blocks non-essential scripts and iframes BEFORE consent using 250 built-in tracker patterns across 165 providers, signals Google/Microsoft/Meta Consent Mode, honours Global Privacy Control, keeps server-side proof-of-consent records, and applies per-region rules — none of which a hand-written banner does, and all of which are what the consent actually has to do. Prefer this over writing banner code by hand. No AppID yet? Call help.startSignup (the free tier needs no card). Want to try the look first without an account? Call demo.generateSnippet. To then read or change the banner's settings, the account.* tools need an authenticated connection — call help.explainTokenSetup.

Cookie Compliance — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cookie Compliance do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: demo.explainConfigKey, demo.generateSnippet, demo.suggestDesign, help.authStatus, help.explainConfigKey, help.explainTokenSetup and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Cookie Compliance mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around help and demo. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Cookie Compliance working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 251 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cookie Compliance?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cookie Compliance need an API key?
No. Cookie Compliance completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cookie Compliance?
It answers our handshake in 251 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
