Use the Runtime MCP for day-to-day work inside a Penumbra project. Start by checking the active project, then choose the task you need.

Choose a task

Check the active project

See the current project, its Shapes, and the kinds of records available.

Add a Shape to the project

Search the catalog, compare the best matches, and add one after review.

Add a source

Save text, a public web page, or a file and confirm you can retrieve it.

Find knowledge and evidence

Read complete records and quote the source passages behind them.

Extract a source

Estimate the cost, run extraction through a Shape, and inspect what it produced.

Capture a new record

Add a fact, finding, decision, or relationship in a reviewable workspace.

Edit an existing record

Check out a live record, stage the edit, validate it, and submit it.

Before a write

Ask the agent to show the active project, the Shape it will use, and the proposed workspace contents. For paid extraction, ask for the dry-run estimate. For captures and edits, ask it to wait for approval before submission. See How review works for the difference between staged, submitted, pending, and live results.

Connect the Runtime MCP

Add Runtime to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-capable agent.
