+# ust-mcp
+
+**An MCP server that lets an agent verify, create, and combine UST records — using only this server and its own key.**
+
+`ust-mcp` exposes [`ust-protocol`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ust-protocol) as
+[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) tools, so any MCP-capable agent can check that a piece
+of state is what it claims — who published it, when, unchanged — without trusting whoever served the bytes.
+
+> **Release candidate — `1.0.0-rc.1`.** The specification has been extensively red-teamed; an independent
+> external cryptographic audit is pending. Suitable for evaluation. Pin exact versions.
+
+## Run
+
+```
+npx ust-mcp
+```
+
+## Add to Claude Code
+
+```
+claude mcp add ust -- npx ust-mcp
+```
+
+Or in any MCP client config:
+
+```json
+{ "mcpServers": { "ust": { "command": "npx", "args": ["ust-mcp"] } } }
+```
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Does |
+|------|------|
+| `ust_verify` | Verify a document (`VALID` / `INVALID` / `INDETERMINATE`); supply `genesis`+`keylog` for name authority, `proof` for anchored time |
+| `ust_build_observation` | Build (unsigned) an observation; returns `state` + `content_hash` + `signing_input` |
+| `ust_combine_derivation` | Build a derivation chained to other records by content-hash (auto seed) |
+| `ust_combine_attestation` | Build an attestation over N constituents (auto Merkle root) |
+| `ust_resolve` | Resolve name authority → `authoritative` / `self-asserted` |
+| `ust_anchor_verify` | Verify a time-anchor's Merkle inclusion proof |
+| `ust_key_id` | Derive a `key_id` from a public key |
+| `ust_canon` | Canonicalize a value (the exact bytes UST hashes/signs) |
+
+## The agent flow — build → sign → verify, entirely through the MCP
+
+1. `ust_build_observation` → returns the unsigned `state` and the exact `signing_input` bytes.
+2. **You** sign `signing_input` with your own Ed25519 key.
+3. `ust_verify` → `VALID`.
+
+The server **never holds your key**. An agent needs only this MCP and its own key.
+
+## What it proves — and what it doesn't
+
+UST proves **fixation, not truth**: *this publisher committed to this data, at this time, unchanged* — not that
+the data is *correct*. You learn **whom to hold accountable** and **that nothing was tampered**. The final Bitcoin
+time-anchor confirmation is a substrate step delegated to the operator (it needs Bitcoin access), so it is
+deliberately not a stateless protocol tool — `ust_anchor_verify` proves *inclusion*, you (or the operator) confirm
+the root on-chain.
+
+## Two surfaces
+
+This is the **protocol MCP** — universal, publisher-agnostic. A separate **product MCP** (pricing, receipts,
+archive depth) is operated by publishers such as noosphere; the two are never mixed.
+
+Depends on [`ust-protocol`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ust-protocol). Spec: **https://github.com/thelabmd/UST/blob/main/spec/UST-1.0.md**
