HiveAttest

Pre-action attestation perimeter for AI agents — 8 primitives, signed C18 receipt per call.

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).

Remote (streamable-http)

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http hiveattest 'https://hive-mcp-attest.onrender.com/mcp'

JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

HiveAttest perimeter for autonomous agents — C8/C12/C13/C15-C20

https://hive-mcp-attest.onrender.com/mcp

Layer C — Reference Grade

This is the reference implementation of the HiveAttest claim family. Wire format is normative. Production-grade (Layer B) is a future hardened deployment.

Reference implementation of USPTO Provisional 64/055,601 — HiveAttest claims C8/C12/C13/C15-C20.

Inventor: Stephen A. Rotzin

Cryptographic guarantees

All attestation primitives use:

Ed25519 — signing key generated at backend startup (or loaded from HIVE_ATTEST_PRIVATE_KEY_B64URL)
RFC 8785 JCS — deterministic canonicalization for all signing operations
SHA-256 — payload hashing, Merkle tree nodes
No mocked signatures — every signature is a real 64-byte Ed25519 output
