## Documentation & README

# HashProof

Verifiable credentials with IPFS backup, on-chain registry, and pay-per-call API via x402.

## What it is

HashProof is a credential issuance API. Organizations and Individuals (entities) issue verifiable credentials to people. Each credential is:

- Stored as a JSON in the database and backed up on IPFS (Pinata)
- Registered on-chain in the `CredentialRegistry` contract on Celo
- Verifiable via a public URL: `https://hashproof.dev/verify/:id`

Two ways to pay: micropayment in USDC via x402 (Base or Celo) — no API keys, no subscriptions — or a prepaid API key for enterprise clients (no crypto needed). AI agents can call the API directly using a funded wallet.

## Project structure

frontend/      React app — landing page, credential verification, entity pages
contracts/     CredentialRegistry smart contract (Celo)
mcp/           MCP server (hashproof-mcp on npm) — use HashProof from any AI agent

## Deployed contracts

| Network      | Contract           | Address                                      |
| ------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Celo mainnet | CredentialRegistry | `0x7a1B759A602Aba72a70f99Dffd0a386d7504ce9B` |

## Paid API endpoints

| Endpoint                                  | Price      | Description                     |
| ----------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------- |
| `POST /issueCredential`                   | $0.10 USDC | Issue one verifiable credential |
| `POST /entities/:id/verificationRequests` | $49 USDC | Submit a verification request   |

Payment is in USDC on Base or Celo via x402. The client signs an off-chain authorization — no gas required.

## Free endpoints

| Endpoint                             | Description                                    |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `GET /verify/:id`                    | Full 3-layer verification                      |
| `GET /templates/:ref/requirements`   | Get required fields for a template             |
| `POST /templates/:ref/preview`       | Generate a preview PDF with watermark (no cost) |
| `GET /stats`                         | On-chain credential counters                   |

## For AI agents

HashProof is fully agent-usable — no account, no human onboarding. Three ways in:

- **MCP server**, local or remote (listed on the [official MCP registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.csacanam/hashproof`):

  ```bash
  # local (stdio) — pays per credential with your own wallet via x402, or an API key
  claude mcp add hashproof -- npx -y hashproof-mcp

  # remote (Streamable HTTP) — nothing to install, API key required to issue
  claude mcp add --transport http hashproof https://api.hashproof.dev/mcp
  ```

  Tools: `preview_template` (free — iterate custom layouts), `issue_credential` ($0.10 via x402 or API key), `verify_credential` and `get_template_requirements` (free). The remote server has no wallet, so it can't do x402 — it needs `Authorization: Bearer <api-key>`. See [`mcp/README.md`](https://github.com/csacanam/hashproof/blob/HEAD/mcp/README.md).

- **Agent skill**: `npx skills add csacanam/hashproof` — or read it at [hashproof.dev/skill.md](https://hashproof.dev/skill.md).
- **Plain HTTP + x402**: `POST /issueCredential` returns a 402 challenge any x402-v2 client can pay (USDC on Base or Celo). LLM index: [hashproof.dev/llms.txt](https://hashproof.dev/llms.txt).
