Terms of use

Version 2026-11-10 · effective 10 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Kanuko (operator details to be added), covering kanuko.in, docs.kanuko.in and the Kanuko connector at mcp.kanuko.in (together, "Kanuko"). By using Kanuko or creating an account, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Kanuko. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.

1. Who can use Kanuko

You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. If you use Kanuko for an organization, you confirm you're allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. What Kanuko does

Kanuko lets an AI assistant you use (such as ChatGPT or Claude) search products listed on Kanuko and, when you ask, send requests to them. Kanuko is free to use today. We may add paid features later, but only with clear notice and only if you choose them.

3. Your account

• You sign in through our sign-in provider. Keep access to that account secure, because anything done in your session is treated as done by you.
• Tell us at hello@kanuko.in if you think someone else has used your account. You can sign out everywhere from your account page.
• You can delete your account at any time from kanuko.in/account.

4. Acceptable use

Don't use Kanuko to:

• break the law or anyone's rights;
• send personal data about other people without a lawful basis;
• overload, scrape, probe or attack Kanuko or any listed product, or get around rate limits or security controls;
• impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your connection to a product or company;
• build a competing directory by copying Kanuko's listings in bulk.

5. Products listed on Kanuko

Listed products are run by independent developers, not by Kanuko. Their listings, results, prices, job openings and terms are theirs. We review every product before listing it, but we can't guarantee that what a product returns is accurate, current or suitable for you. Check important details with the product itself before you rely on them, for example before applying for a job. Your relationship with a product, including any personal details you choose to send it, is governed by that product's own terms and privacy policy.

6. AI assistants

Your use of ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant is governed by its provider's terms. Assistants can make mistakes, including when they summarize results from Kanuko. Kanuko marks product results as third-party content, but it can't control what an assistant says.

7. Listing a product (developers)

• You may only list products and domains you own or control. Everything in your kanuko.json must be accurate and kept up to date.
• You give Kanuko a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to call the actions you list, to cache their results for the time you set, and to show those results, your product's name, description and links to users and their assistants, with credit to you. This licence ends when your product is removed, except for cached results, which expire on their own.
• Your product's descriptions and results must not contain instructions aimed at AI assistants, malware, deceptive content, or anything unlawful. Ask only for the personal data your action genuinely needs, and declare it in personal_data_fields.
• You're responsible, as an independent data fiduciary, for personal data users send you through Kanuko, under your own privacy policy and the law.
• API keys you give us are used only to call your product. You can replace or revoke them at any time.
• We may decline, hide or remove a product at any time, for example if it breaks these terms, fails health checks repeatedly, or receives credible reports. Where we can, we'll tell you why. You can ask us to remove your product at any time.
• You agree to cover Kanuko's reasonable costs and losses from third-party claims caused by your product or by your breach of these terms.

8. Kanuko's content and name

The Kanuko name, logo, website, docs and software belong to us. You may link to Kanuko and describe your product as "available on Kanuko". Please don't use our name in a way that suggests we endorse you beyond that. If you send us feedback, we may use it freely.

9. Changes and availability

We're building Kanuko actively, so features may change, and the service may be interrupted or discontinued. If we change these terms materially, we'll update the version above and ask signed-in users to accept the new version. If you keep using Kanuko without an account after a change, you accept the new terms.

10. Disclaimers

Kanuko is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that Kanuko or any listed product will be error-free, uninterrupted or secure.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Kanuko isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, lost profits or lost opportunities, or for anything a listed product or an AI assistant does or says. Our total liability for any claim about Kanuko is limited to the greater of ₹1,000 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.

12. Ending

You can stop using Kanuko and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or if we must do so by law. Sections 5, 7 (indemnity), 10, 11 and 13 continue after your access ends.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Before going to court, please write to hello@kanuko.in so we can try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days. Courts in India have jurisdiction over any dispute. Grievances about personal data go to grievance@kanuko.in.
