Evidence Overview

The evidence MCP server handles signed receipts, disclosure attestations, and dispute evidence through the Tersign ledger. It verifies receipt files locally or checks receipt digests against a ledger, while disclosure commands hash text locally before signing and submitting a record. Use it when an agent transaction needs independently verifiable evidence, a seller-bound chain of custody, or an evidence envelope for later disputes. The package also provides an x402 fetch-handler adapter that places receipt data in payment response headers.

Primary Use Cases for Evidence:
  • Verify seller-signed x402 receipts before accepting transaction evidence
  • Create timestamped disclosure attestations without sending the disclosure text
  • Attach refund and dispute references to a receipt digest
  • Add receipt evidence to x402 payment response headers
