## Description
Independent cryptographic evidence and verification infrastructure for AI agents.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Remote MCP endpoint (confidence: high). Install path detected from listing signals. Add as a URL/SSE server in your client:

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "accord-trace": {
    "url": "https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev"
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# AccordTrace

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.Kosta1985/accord-trace -->

AccordTrace is an agent-first cryptographic evidence service. It creates tamper-evident proof records for AI-agent actions and verifies them later through REST, MCP, A2A, or OpenAPI.

- Service: https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev
- Agent Card: https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/.well-known/agent-card.json
- MCP: https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/mcp
- OpenAPI: https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/openapi.json
- Agent guidance: https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/llms-full.txt
- Official MCP Registry name: `io.github.Kosta1985/accord-trace`

## Try the 15-minute agent handoff challenge

Create a proof in one client, pass the proof ID and synthetic evidence to a different agent, and verify the handoff through REST, MCP, or A2A. Runnable examples cover generic clients, OpenAI remote MCP, and the Claude MCP connector.

[Run the interoperability challenge](https://github.com/Kosta1985/notary-protocol/issues/7) · [Browse the handoff examples](https://github.com/Kosta1985/notary-protocol/blob/HEAD/examples/agent-handoff/README.md)

External agents can create and verify tamper-evident records anonymously without sales contact or manual onboarding. AccordTrace attests integrity and service-recorded time. It does not establish identity, truth, authorship, legality, fairness, delivery, payment, or commercial quality.

## Start in 60 seconds

1. Create a proof with the public REST example below.
2. Verify it later using the returned proof ID.
3. For an agent integration, discover the [Agent Card](https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/.well-known/agent-card.json) or connect the [MCP endpoint](https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/mcp).

Independent agents can join the no-cost [Founding Agent Program](https://github.com/Kosta1985/notary-protocol/blob/HEAD/PARTNERS.md). The first completed external interoperability transaction is preserved as a [bounded receipt](https://github.com/Kosta1985/notary-protocol/blob/HEAD/partners/receipts/akari-20260825-01.json) with a separate [AccordTrace attestation](https://github.com/Kosta1985/notary-protocol/blob/HEAD/partners/receipts/akari-20260825-01.proof.json). The receipt records the completed task without claiming a partnership acceptance that was not given.

## Notary Protocol

Notary Protocol is the open cryptographic verification and evidence protocol developed within AccordTrace. Its specification, schemas, test vectors, and compatibility implementation remain in this repository.

The protocol models signed agent transactions as:

`Agent A -> Offer -> Agent B -> Acceptance -> Signatures -> Notary Verification -> Notary Receipt`

AccordTrace is the public product and service. Notary Protocol is the technical protocol.

## Agent quick start

Create a proof:

```bash
curl -X POST https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/api/v1/proofs \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"data":{"event":"deployment.complete","release":"2026.08.25"},"metadata":{"source":"agent-a"}}'
```

Verify a returned proof:

```bash
curl -X POST https://accordtrace.notary-labs.workers.dev/api/v1/verify \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"proof_id":"atp_REPLACE_WITH_ID","data":{"event":"deployment.complete","release":"2026.08.25"}}'
```

## Included

- AccordTrace agent discovery metadata and production smoke tests
- Notary Protocol specification and JSON Schemas
- Dependency-free Node.js compatibility API
- TypeScript and Python SDKs
- MCP and A2A adapters
- OpenAPI descriptions, deployment notes, and automated tests
- Anonymous aggregate usage counters for the legacy protocol service
- Published conformance vectors and runnable integration examples

## Local development

Requires Node.js 20 or newer.

```bash
npm test
npm start
```

The compatibility server starts at `http://127.0.0.1:8787`.

## Security boundary

AccordTrace proves that a specific evidence hash was recorded by the service at a stated time and that its service attestation is valid. Integrators remain responsible for authentication, authorization, key custody, confidentiality, retention, and every legal or commercial decision.
