The AI Record

API

Free and unauthenticated: no key, no quota, no sign-up, CORS open. Every response returns passages word for word with their source, and says whether each has been checked. It exists because the alternative is worse: asked what an organization said, a language model will reconstruct a quote from memory.

Search

/api/v1/search?q=code+review: passages ranked by how well they match, checked passages and the clearest statements first. Filters: org, person, topic, grade (for example A,B), verified=true, limit (up to 25). empty: true means the archive holds nothing on it. The same search as a page, with no JavaScript needed: /search?q=code+review.

Endpoints

• /api/v1/openapi.json: the OpenAPI 3.1 spec for everything below.
• /api/v1/topics.json: every topic, with passage counts.
• /api/v1/topics/{id}.json: one topic and its passages, clearest first.
• /api/v1/organizations.json: every organization, with the AI-vendor flag.
• /api/v1/organizations/{id}.json: one organization, its size and results from filings, its people and passages.
• /api/v1/people.json: every person, with role and organization.
• /api/v1/people/{id}.json: one person and their passages.
• /api/v1/passages/{id}.json: one passage.
• /api/v1/misattributed.json: lines that circulate, checked.
• /api/v1/stats.json: how big the archive is and how much is checked.
• /llms.txt: the archive's rules and every topic, organization and person, for language models.
• /llms-full.txt: every passage with its citation, in one text file.

Every page also links its JSON version in its head, as <link rel="alternate" type="application/json">.

MCP server

The same data as tools for AI assistants, over the Model Context Protocol (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in): https://the-ai-record.com/mcp. Tools: search_passages, get_passage, list_topics, get_topic, list_organizations, get_organization, get_person, check_attribution and archive_stats.

• Claude (claude.ai and the desktop app): Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the URL, choose no sign-in.
• ChatGPT: in Developer mode, add an app with the URL and no authentication.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http the-ai-record https://the-ai-record.com/mcp
• Other clients: any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP, with the URL above.

Rules that travel with every response

• Every passage is reproduced word for word from the cited source.
• Check the verification status: "reported" means not yet confirmed by an independent second reader.
• Organizations flagged aiVendor sell AI tools or services and have a reason to publish flattering numbers.
• An empty result means the archive holds nothing on it, not that nobody has said anything.

License

Quotations are short excerpts reproduced with attribution; rights in them remain with their holders. The archive's own grades, notes, topics and verification records are licensed CC BY 4.0: reuse them with a link back to the passage's page.
