Liminality

An MCP server that breaks a hard question or decision into the sub-questions that actually decide it, ties each to a real tool, and hands back a worked answer you can check.

Docs · Get a key

Give Liminality a tough question, a real decision, or a multi-step task. It decomposes the request into the sub-questions that change the outcome, grounds each one in a real tool or endpoint, and returns a result you can verify: a scored decision frame for a choice, a grounded answer for a question. It earns its keep on the work one-shot guessing gets wrong, the hard and high-stakes stuff, not quick lookups.

Every solved ask is saved as a reusable route in a shared library, so the next close question comes back faster and cheaper. It runs as a hosted remote server over streamable HTTP. The first few asks on a new key are free.

What it is

Liminality is a reasoning layer that sits between your agent and the tools it could call. Instead of answering from memory, it works out the structure of the request first, then routes each piece to something real.

It runs on context-dependent determinism. Same question with the same known context routes the same way every time, so a result is reproducible and you can hand the route to someone else and get the same thing back. Change the context, and the route adapts to it. The determinism is in how it decides, not a frozen cache of canned answers.

Tools

solve is the front door. Give it anything non-trivial. It works out the structure (decompose, ground to real tools, score the decision) and returns a worked result: a scored decision frame for a choice, or a grounded answer for a question.
research runs a deeper multi-source pass that pulls real information for a question.
ask_form / apply_form: when the answer depends on your specifics, it hands back a short multiple-choice form. Relay it, then apply_form folds the answers into a sharper result.
get_my_context: what's known about you and what you've connected.
register_asset / set_preference: tell it about your material and how you like results.
report_feedback / report_outcome: tell it how a result did, so routes improve with use.
composio_connect: connect a tool so an action can run against it.
