What is the Openli MCP Server?
Connect your Openli account to any AI agent and take full control of your privacy orchestration and legal compliance through natural conversation. Openli provides a comprehensive platform for managing cookie consent, processing Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), and maintaining an automated audit trail for your legal agreements.
What you can do
- Consent & Agreement Orchestration — List all published legal agreements programmatically and retrieve detailed version metadata to ensure your terms are always synchronized.
- Evidence & Audit Intelligence — Record and save user consent evidence directly from the AI interface to maintain a high-fidelity, legally binding audit trail.
- DSAR Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor incoming Data Subject Access Requests via natural language to drive better response times and regulatory compliance.
- Vendor & Data Processor Control — List and oversee your organization's third-party vendors and data processors using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage privacy audit logs to ensure your compliance workflow is always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Openli API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your privacy hub from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual spreadsheet tracking for user consent. Your AI acts as a dedicated privacy officer or legal operations assistant.
Who is this for?
- Legal & Compliance Teams — quickly retrieve agreement statuses and monitor audit logs without switching apps.
- Data Protection Officers (DPOs) — automate the retrieval of DSAR metadata and track vendor compliance via natural conversation.
- Product Managers — streamline the recording of consent evidence directly within the chat interface.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the latest version of my Privacy Policy?
Yes! Use the list_agreements tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for all published legal documents, including their unique public keys and last update timestamps in seconds.
How do I find my Openli API Key?
Log in to your Openli account, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
Can I use the AI to record consent for a new user?
Absolutely. Use the save_consent tool. Provide the user's email and the public key of the agreement they accepted, and the agent will securely log the evidence in your Openli audit trail.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
