FAQ
Common questions about Stratta.
Do I need to know how to code to use Stratta?
No. You install the MCP server with one command, then talk to Claude in plain language. Stratta is built for engineers, not developers.
Does Stratta come with the norms?
No. Norms are copyrighted and scoped to your organization. You ingest the norms you're licensed for. The public demo workspace includes SIA 260 and SIA 261-1 as examples.
Why doesn't Stratta use embeddings like other AI tools?
Because engineering answers must be verifiable. Stratta navigates each norm's real structure (TreeRAG) so every citation points to an exact section and page. See How it works.
Is my data shared with other users?
No. Norms are isolated per organization, enforced server-side from your API key. Another organization can't read or write your norms. See Security.
Does ingesting a norm cost Anthropic API credits?
No. Ingestion runs on your own Claude subscription's session tokens, not the Anthropic API.
Which Claude clients are supported?
Claude Code (recommended) and Claude Desktop. Any client that supports stdio MCP servers can use Stratta. See Install in Claude Code and Install in Claude Desktop.
Can I use Stratta with my team?
Yes. Invite colleagues to your organization; they share the norms you've ingested and use their own API keys. See Manage your organization.
Is there an OAuth / browser login for the MCP server?
Not today. The MCP server authenticates with an API key over stdio. A remote, OAuth-based option has been evaluated but isn't offered yet. See Architecture.
Can Stratta translate a norm between French, German, and Italian?
Not yet. Automatic translation is on the roadmap. A norm is currently served in its source language.
How much does Stratta cost?
Free is open today: 1 norm, 500 sections, 60 figures and 500 MCP queries a month. Pro (CHF 29 per month) and Team (CHF 99 per month) open with billing. Nothing is charged today. See Plans and quotas.
What happens when I hit a quota?
The write is refused with a message naming the limit and where you stand. Nothing is deleted, reading keeps working, and no overage is billed. Delete a norm you no longer need, or wait for the next monthly window. See Plans and quotas.
