Install
Run it in two minutes.
No signup, no arguments. A clarify, a refuse, and a disclose print on your machine as real wire JSON.
Run it — Python
Both packages are on PyPI (Apache-2.0).
pip install columna-core columna-server
columna-server demo --play The three-mood transcript that prints is the same one this site is built from — generated by running the shipped package.
Connect an agent — MCP
The demo serves five read-only tools over MCP stdio. To wire it into Claude Desktop, add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"columna": { "command": "columna-server", "args": ["demo"] }
}
} See the full config + a real clarify → refuse → disclose transcript.
Run the server — Docker
The read-only demo image (also what powers the live demo endpoint):
docker run --rm ghcr.io/datumwise/columna-demo demo --play Serves only the packaged demo Manifold; read-only by construction.
Or just watch it run
The live demo on this site executes the same package against a hosted endpoint — see the four moods on the homepage ↓.
