# Consilium-Principis — connect the server (onboarding)
**Important, read first.** This markdown skill is a *funnel*, not the product. The advisor logic —
the fidelity contour (🔵 verbatim / 🟢 commentary / 🟡 extrapolation / 📐 calculation), fail-closed
abstention, the quote gate, the council choreography, and every tool — lives in a **local MCP
server** (`scripts/mcp_server.py`), not in this file. Installed on its own via `npx skills add`,
this skill has no tools to call yet. Its whole job is to get you to the server.
Do not fabricate advisor answers or pretend the tools exist. If the MCP server is not connected,
say so and walk the user through connecting it.
## What to do
1. **Get the code.** Clone or install the project:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ilyautov/consilium-principis ~/consilium-principis
cd ~/consilium-principis
python3 install.py # or run in place; Python 3.10+
```
2. **Wire the MCP server into this agent.** Generate a machine-correct config snippet:
```bash
python3 scripts/board.py mcp-config --json # on Windows: py -3 ...
```
Then paste it into your host's MCP configuration. Host-by-host recipes (Claude Code, Claude
Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kimi CLI, and any universal MCP host) are in
[`docs/CONNECT-HOSTS.md`](https://github.com/ilyautov/consilium-principis/blob/master/docs/CONNECT-HOSTS.md).
3. **Convene.** Once the server is connected, say **"where do I start"**. The server's
