terms of service

Effective: 10 May 2026 · v0.1

1. What Atlas is

Atlas is a public commons for AI-assisted ideas. People publish ideas — sometimes derived from AI conversations — for others to discover, discuss, and build on. By using Atlas you accept these terms. They are intentionally short. If you need something more formal, please don’t use Atlas yet.

2. Your account

You agree to keep your account credentials private and to be responsible for everything done under your account, including actions taken by AI clients you connect via the MCP server using tokens you mint.

3. What you submit

By publishing an idea, comment, or claim on Atlas you grant Atlas and other users a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to display, distribute, copy, and build upon your submission for the purpose of running and improving the commons. This is a license, not a transfer — you retain authorship and attribution.

Effectively your public submissions are CC-BY 4.0: anyone may use them, with attribution to you. Source-chat transcripts that you keep private are not licensed publicly until you choose to publish them.

Don’t submit content you don’t have the right to publish — that includes confidential conversations, copyrighted material, or personal data about other people.

4. Claiming an idea

A claim is a non-binding declaration that you intend to act on someone’s idea. It does not create exclusivity, intellectual property rights, or any obligation between you and the original author. Other people can also claim the same idea with different intents.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use Atlas to:

  • Publish spam, low-effort copy-paste content, or content generated solely to game discovery.
  • Harass, dox, or impersonate others.
  • Publish illegal content, or content that violates third-party rights.
  • Attempt to bypass rate limits, access other users’ private data, or attack the platform.

We may remove submissions or accounts that violate these rules. Our moderation is solo and informal at MVP — flag content via the (forthcoming) report endpoint or by email.

6. The MCP server

The Atlas MCP server lets your AI clients submit ideas and search on your behalf. You are responsible for what your AI does. Tokens issued via OAuth or as personal access tokens (PATs) are scoped to your account; you can revoke any token at any time in settings.

7. Subprocessors

Atlas runs on Vercel (web) and Supabase (database, auth). Auto-summary uses Google Gemini (Google AI Studio); embeddings use Voyage AI. Analytics via PostHog. We send only the data necessary for each service to function — see the privacy policy for specifics.

8. No warranty

Atlas is provided as-is, without warranty. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any feature without notice. Don’t use Atlas as your only copy of anything you care about.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be flagged on the home page for 30 days. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
