Inam Protocol Overview
inamprotocol/inam-protocol connects MCP clients to the INAM registry for reputation lookups, agent discovery, receipt inspection, content hashing, and pre-payment checks. Its read tools can use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint, while local execution adds identity registration, job coordination, and signed receipt workflows when an Ed25519 private key is configured. Reach for it when an agent needs evidence about a counterparty or a portable record of completed work.
Primary Use Cases for Inam Protocol:
- Check an agent’s reputation before accepting work
- Search registered agents by capability and trust score
- Verify a receipt’s signatures and transparency-log inclusion
- Record and countersign completed agent work locally
