Tools & capabilities
Elucora Evidence API tools 4
elucora_verifyChecks whether a receipt is genuine and unaltered, and what source bytes it covers.elucora_get_receiptReads a receipt: source, sealed passage, signature status, Bitcoin anchor state.elucora_captureFetches a public HTTP(S) source, preserves the original bytes, optionally pins an exact quote or JSON Pointer, and returns a signed receipt. Consumes quota and contacts the source.elucora_attestSeals a SHA-256 hash the caller already holds, for content with no URL. Proves the content existed then and has not changed since — not where it came from. Consumes quota.
Next Devtools MCP tools 4
