> **Layer C — Reference Grade**
>
> This is the reference implementation of the HiveAttest claim family. Wire format is normative. Production-grade (Layer B) is a future hardened deployment.

Reference implementation of **USPTO Provisional 64/055,601** — HiveAttest claims C8/C12/C13/C15-C20.

**Inventor:** Stephen A. Rotzin

## What this is

`hive-mcp-attest` is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the complete HiveAttest perimeter as 19 tools, proxying to the live hivemorph backend.

- **Protocol:** MCP 2024-11-05 over Streamable-HTTP / JSON-RPC 2.0
- **Transport:** `POST /mcp`
- **Discovery:** `GET /.well-known/mcp.json`
- **Health:** `GET /health`
- **Backend:** `https://hivemorph.onrender.com`
- **Crypto:** Ed25519, RFC 8785 JCS, SHA-256 — real signatures, no mocks
- **Brand gold:** `#FFB800`

## Connect (Claude Desktop)

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive-mcp-attest": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/hive-mcp-attest/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "HIVE_BASE": "https://hivemorph.onrender.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or connect via Streamable-HTTP (MCP 2024-11-05):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive-mcp-attest": {
      "url": "https://hive-mcp-attest.onrender.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}
```

## Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `HIVE_BASE` | `https://hivemorph.onrender.com` | Backend hivemorph URL |
| `PORT` | `3000` | Server port |

---

## Cryptographic guarantees

All attestation primitives use:
- **Ed25519** — signing key generated at backend startup (or loaded from `HIVE_ATTEST_PRIVATE_KEY_B64URL`)
- **RFC 8785 JCS** — deterministic canonicalization for all signing operations
- **SHA-256** — payload hashing, Merkle tree nodes
- **No mocked signatures** — every signature is a real 64-byte Ed25519 output
