Galileo Experimental Prover MCP Connector for Claude
A+Your AI accepted a claim because 'the documentation recommends it.' That is authority deference — not evidence. Galileo did not accept Aristotle's 2,000-year claim that heavier objects fall faster. He dropped two masses from the Tower of Pisa. This tool forces authority questioning, experimental design, variable control, outcome prediction, and belief revision.
AI agents accept claims from authority. 'The vendor says,' 'the industry standard,' 'best practice dictates.' They never design an experiment to test the claim.
The Problem
- Authority Deferred — 'Use this because the documentation recommends it.' Galileo dropped two masses from the Tower of Pisa to disprove Aristotle.
- Experiment Absent — 'It stands to reason.' Galileo built a 20x telescope and SHOWED Jupiter's moons.
- Variables Uncontrolled — 'We changed the process, tools, and team — results improved.' Which change mattered? Galileo varied ONLY the angle.
- Prediction Missing — 'Let us see what happens.' Galileo PREDICTED equal fall rates BEFORE testing.
- Dogma Persistent — 'The data is anomalous.' The Aristotelians REFUSED to look through the telescope.
How It Works
- authorityQuestioned — Claim challenged at its source. Evidence, not prestige.
- experimentDesigned — Specific, repeatable test with hypothesis and measurement.
- variablesControlled — Only ONE variable changes. Everything else constant.
- outcomePredicted — Expected result stated BEFORE the experiment.
- beliefRevised — Position updated when evidence contradicts.
Verdict Matrix
| Pivot | Verdict | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| authorityQuestioned = false | AUTHORITY_DEFERRED | Claim accepted by prestige. |
| experimentDesigned = false | EXPERIMENT_ABSENT | No test designed. |
| variablesControlled = false | VARIABLES_UNCONTROLLED | Multiple changes, no attribution. |
| outcomePredicted = false | PREDICTION_MISSING | No prediction before test. |
| beliefRevised = false | DOGMA_PERSISTENT | Evidence contradicts, position unchanged. |
| All pass | EXPERIMENT_PROVEN | Full experimental method. |

Copernicus Perspective Prover MCP
Your AI analyzed the problem from the default perspective and added workarounds when it did not fit. That is an epicycle — not a solution. Copernicus did not add more epicycles to Ptolemy's model. He moved the center from Earth to Sun. 40+ epicycles vanished. This tool forces default questioning, epicycle counting, alternative framing, observer shifting, and simplicity comparison.
Delivery Integrity Prover MCP
Forces AI agents to reflect on task execution, matching prompt requirements to actual changes, verifying logs, and declaring gaps before claiming completion.
Task Completion Enforcer Prover MCP
An AI was asked to build 5 API endpoints, write tests, and update documentation. It built 3 endpoints, left TODO comments in the tests, never touched the documentation, and declared 'Done! Let me know if you need anything else.' The user spent 40 minutes finding the gaps. This happens every single day, on every LLM, in every coding session. This tool forces five completion axes: requirement extraction, completion evidence, gap identification, continuation execution, and final verification against the original request.
Technical Writing Prover MCP
An AI wrote API documentation for 'developers.' No expertise level. No prerequisites. A wall of text with no headings. Code examples that referenced a deprecated method — untested. Passive voice throughout: 'it is recommended that the configuration be updated.' A junior engineer followed the docs, deployed to production with the wrong config, and caused a 4-hour outage. This tool forces audience definition, task-based structure, tested examples, ambiguity elimination, and completeness verification.
