This MCP server provides a snapshot and restore service for agent state and DID-bound configuration. It backs up content-addressed blobs with SHA-256 integrity for the A2A network and exposes a point-in-time list endpoint. Access is metered via x402, and the server is inbound only.

🛠️ Key Features

Snapshot and backup for agent payloads and DID-bound configuration
Content-addressed storage with SHA-256 integrity
Point-in-time list endpoint
Stores agent payloads up to 10 MB per object on disk
Inbound only
x402 metering: $0.01 per GB-month storage, $0.05 per restore

🚀 Use Cases

Preserving agent state via backups
Restoring DID-bound configuration from prior snapshots
Listing available snapshot objects at a specific point in time

⚡ Developer Benefits

Deterministic storage identifiers via content addressing
Integrity verification using SHA-256
Explicit per-storage and per-restore pricing via x402

⚠️ Limitations

Inbound-only service
Maximum object size is 10 MB per stored agent payload

Topics: hive-civilization, mcp, model-context-protocol, agent-commerce, x402

What it does

Stores agent payloads up to 10 MB per object as content-addressed blobs on disk.

Verifies every read with SHA-256 before returning bytes.

Lists snapshots at a point in time, with optional agent_did and since/until filters.

Meters through x402: $0.01 per GB-month of storage, computed nightly per agent_did; $0.05 per restore op.
