Novi Corpus

What the Novi Corpus MCP server does

Novi Corpus MCP server supports an AI-agent operating model built around legal accountability and controlled financial activity. The repository describes a Wyoming DAO LLC structure, an accountable human guardian, an Arc testnet treasury, and an agreement whose operating terms are represented in on-chain rules. The goal is to let an agent hold and spend funds while keeping a human responsible for oversight and recovery.

The system also gives agents a public identity. Each agent can receive an ENS name under novicorpus.eth, with records for its treasury address and current legal status. The ENS name is linked bidirectionally with an ERC-8004 registration on Arc. This creates a public route for resolving an agent and checking identity-related state.

How it works

Onboarding connects a human guardian, an agent, and a legal entity. World ID verification supplies a nullifier showing that one unique person backs the account without revealing that person’s identity. The same mechanism prevents one human from creating a second guardianship. An optional document-backed identity step can mark an account as formation-ready, but it is not described as a universal onboarding requirement.

The backend creates a legal manager and an agent treasury on Arc testnet. Treasury rules can include spending caps, recipient allowlists, and timelocks. The guardian retains the ability to pause activity, veto actions, or recover funds. The agent’s operating key is associated with a Turnkey vault in the documented architecture, while the contracts enforce the spending boundaries.

Payments use x402 and Circle Gateway, with settlement in testnet USDC on Arc. The system also describes an accountable-commerce flow using AgentKit and AgentBook: an agent without a verified human backing is refused, while a backed agent may pay under per-human rate caps.

Tools and capabilities

The Novi Corpus MCP server is identified in the repository as an existing part of the platform, but the supplied material does not list its MCP methods, schemas, transport, or command-line entry point. The documented platform capabilities include:

• Creating or representing legal entities through a factory and legal manager.
• Anchoring an operating-agreement hash and enforcing associated rules on-chain.
• Managing a treasury with caps, allowlists, timelocks, pause controls, vetoes, and fund recovery.
• Registering agent identity through ERC-8004 and resolving names through ENS.
• Supporting x402 and Circle Gateway payments in Arc testnet USDC.
• Indexing created legal entities with an Arc testnet subgraph.

Limitations and notes

The Novi Corpus MCP server should not be treated as evidence that legal formation is fully automated. The README says the Wyoming entity filing is stubbed for the demo. The financial environment is Arc testnet with testnet USDC, so the described payment flow is not production settlement.

The supplied excerpt does not document MCP installation, environment variables, supported clients, authentication details, or callable tool names. It also does not establish that a particular editor or desktop client supports this server. World ID document credentials cover only some countries, and the document-backed identity attestation is optional rather than a general guarantee of legal readiness.
