Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

{
"mcpServers": {
"id-protocol": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"id-protocol==0.4.0"

ID Protocol — portable context for AI tools
Keep your working preferences in files you control. ID turns a reviewed profile into compact, privacy-filtered context that can move between AI tools and repositories.
Try it in five minutes
Requires Python 3.11 or newer.
uv tool install id-protocol
mkdir my-id-profile && cd my-id-profile
idctl init --owner-id demo
Edit profiles/demo/profile.minimal.md, then build and inspect the portable output:
idctl validate --owner-id demo
idctl refresh-soul --owner-id demo
idctl export-compact --owner-id demo
idctl diff --owner-id demo --since 7d
The starter profile is provisional until you review it. Use an alias such as demo or my-work-profile; a legal name is unnecessary. ID does not upload generated files.
Files and ownership
| File | Role |
|---|---|
profile.minimal.md | Small owner-edited starting profile |
profile.core.md | Canonical profile when a fuller source is needed |
profile.extended.md | Optional detailed workflows and context |
privacy-policy.v1.json | Per-field export permissions |
handshake.md | Concise rules for applying context |
soul.md | Short derived bootstrap for an agent |
context.compact.json | Privacy-filtered portable context |
mcp.context.resource.json | Resource payload for an external MCP adapter |
Markdown profiles remain the source of truth. Generated JSON is a transport view and may omit nuance. The package is a local CLI; it does not provide an MCP server or synchronize vendor accounts.
Privacy behavior
Compact and MCP resource exports require a valid policy whose owner_id matches the requested profile. Unlisted fields stay local-only. Missing, malformed, mixed, conflicting, or owner-mismatched policies block export.
Legacy list policies from earlier releases are normalized in memory during validation and export. Their source files remain unchanged and their restrictions remain effective. --allow-unfiltered only permits a missing policy in a reviewed legacy workflow; it cannot bypass an invalid policy.
Review the resulting export before attaching it to another tool. See the privacy model, policy schema, and threat model.
ABVX toolchain
| Product | Responsibility | Tested release |
|---|---|---|
| ID | Human preferences and operating constraints | 0.5.2 |
| agentsgen | Repository instructions and commands | 0.5.0 |
| SET | Review-first workflow planning and exports | 0.4.0 |
| abvx-agent-skills | Optional reusable workflows | 0.15.0 |
These remain independently installable. ID does not install companions or grant tool permissions.
For a repository that already contains a reviewed ID profile:
idctl install-set-hook --path .
The adapter returns owner-local bootstrap pointers to SET and preserves an existing custom hook. See the SET integration guide.
Evidence
Three reproducible demos exercise installed onboarding, policy-filtered omission, legacy-policy compatibility, and the agentsgen/SET handoff with synthetic data. They measure local CLI behavior and runtime, not AI answer quality.
The historical benchmark snapshot is a small checked-in sample with explicit limits. AI-client behavior still depends on each client's configuration and context rules.

Frequently asked questions
What is ID Protocol?
Portable human-AI context protocol reference tooling.
How do I install ID Protocol?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add id-protocol -- uvx id-protocol==0.4.0. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does ID Protocol need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is ID Protocol open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains ID Protocol?
It is published by markoblogo. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
