Cryptographic AI governance for any MCP-aware host. Drop signed, hash-chained, independently verifiable receipts into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or any other Model Context Protocol client with a single config entry.

npx -y @veridocs/mcp

What this is

@veridocs/mcp is the official MCP server for Proof Layer — the cryptographic governance layer for AI agents. Once installed, it gives any MCP-aware AI assistant the ability to:

Submit agent action proposals for governance evaluation before they execute
Receive signed EXECUTE / BLOCK / REVIEW / SHADOW verdicts
Retrieve and cryptographically verify receipts on demand
Create and operate under scoped, time-bounded delegation plans

Every receipt is Ed25519-signed, hash-chained, and independently verifiable offline using only the published public key at /v1/public-key.

Quick start — Claude Desktop

Add this block to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS/Linux) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veridocs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@veridocs/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VERIDOCS_API_KEY": "vdk_...",
        "VERIDOCS_API_URL": "https://veridocs.dev"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Ask: "List my recent VeriDOCS receipts." — Claude will call vd_list_receipts and return your audit chain.

Get an API key at veridocs.dev.

Cursor / Cline / other MCP hosts

The same command / args / env block works in any MCP-aware host. Place it in the host's MCP server configuration file under whatever key the host uses (e.g. mcpServers in Cursor).

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
`VERIDOCS_API_KEY`	yes	Your `vdk_...` key. Get one at veridocs.dev.
`VERIDOCS_API_URL`	no	Defaults to `https://veridocs.dev`. Override for self-hosted or staging environments.

Tools exposed

The server registers eight tools:

Tool	What it does
`vd_evaluate`	Submit an action proposal — returns a signed receipt with verdict `EXECUTE` / `BLOCK` / `REVIEW` / `SHADOW`.
`vd_get_receipt`	Fetch a single receipt by its UUID.
`vd_verify_receipt`	Cryptographically verify a receipt's Ed25519 signature and key status.
`vd_list_receipts`	List recent receipts; filter by `agent_id` and `verdict`.
`vd_usage`	Current quota usage, credit balance, billing cycle, and plan tier.
`vd_list_policy_packs`	List all governance policy packs with the active one flagged.
`vd_create_plan`	Human approves a scoped, time-bounded plan covering future agent actions.
`vd_delegate`	Agent requests authorization to perform a specific action under a plan.

Full schema for each tool is exposed via ListToolsRequestSchema — your MCP host will discover them automatically.

How it fits

Your AI assistant (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline)
        ↓ MCP (stdio)
@veridocs/mcp                          ← this package
        ↓ HTTPS
Proof Layer kernel
        ↓
Signed receipt → hash chain → verifiable offline

Before any consequential action — sending email, modifying data, executing payment, deleting records — the assistant calls vd_evaluate. Proof Layer evaluates against your active policy pack and returns a verdict plus a signed receipt. The assistant proceeds only when the verdict is EXECUTE.

Verification

Receipts are independently verifiable using only Ed25519 standard library calls and the public key at https://veridocs.dev/v1/public-key. No SDK or account required. See the main Proof Layer repo for the full verification protocol and offline tooling.
