X402 Notary MCP Overview

The forgemeshlabs/x402-notary-mcp MCP server creates cryptographic receipts for AI inferences and verifies them later. It hashes the prompt, response, model ID, and timestamp, then returns an Ed25519 signature and Merkle proof without retaining the original content. Notarization uses $0.001 USDC x402 payments on Base or Solana, while verification, receipt lookup, statistics, and public-key retrieval are free. Reach for it when agent handoffs, paid outputs, audits, or disputes require independently checkable evidence of what a model produced.

Primary Use Cases for X402 Notary MCP:
  • Record agent-to-agent handoffs
  • Verify paid research and recommendations
  • Build compliance and audit trails
  • Resolve disputes over generated outputs
