io.github.srotzin/hive-mcp-attest MCP Server

This MCP server implements a “pre-action attestation perimeter for AI agents,” providing 8 primitives and returning a signed C18 receipt per call. It is associated with the Model Context Protocol ecosystem and is described as supporting “C8/C12/C13/C15-C20” capabilities in its documentation excerpt.

🛠️ Key Features

Pre-action attestation perimeter for AI agents
8 primitives
Signed C18 receipt per call
Topics include: agent-commerce, hive-civilization, mcp, model-context-protocol, x402

🚀 Use Cases

Guarding or attesting agent actions before execution
Enabling traceable receipts for each MCP call

⚡ Developer Benefits

Deterministic receipt output: signed C18 receipt per call
Small, fixed primitive set (8) for integration

⚠️ Limitations

Provided source excerpt does not list the specific primitives, tool names, or invocation details

Cryptographic guarantees

All attestation primitives use:

Ed25519 — signing key generated at backend startup (or loaded from HIVE_ATTEST_PRIVATE_KEY_B64URL)
RFC 8785 JCS — deterministic canonicalization for all signing operations
SHA-256 — payload hashing, Merkle tree nodes
No mocked signatures — every signature is a real 64-byte Ed25519 output
