acta-mcpclaude mcp add acta-mcp -- npx -y acta-mcp@0.2.1
{
"mcpServers": {
"acta-mcp": {
"command": "npx",

{
"mcpServers": {
"acta": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "acta-mcp"]
}
}
}

|---|---|

Example Conversations
"What needs attention on veritasacta.com?"
AI calls
acta_discoverwith mode=contested → finds records in contested state that need evidence or counter-arguments
"Make a factual claim about API key security with a source"
AI calls
acta_contributewith type=claim, category=factual, source=URL → records the claim on the hash chain
"Challenge that claim — it's missing context"
AI calls
acta_respondwith type=challenge, basis=missing_context, target_assertion, argument → the claim transitions to "contested"
"Find claims that have no evidence yet"
AI calls
acta_discoverwith mode=needs_evidence → surfaces claims and predictions with no linked evidence
"Verify the chain for protocol-trust-models"
AI calls
acta_verify→ recomputes chain hashes, reports integrity status
Provenance Metadata
Contributions and responses can optionally include a provenance object for AI authorship disclosure:
{
"provenance": {
"authored_with_model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
"tool_version": "acta-mcp/0.2.0",
"disclosure_level": "reproducible"
}
}
Provenance is included in the immutable payload hash — it becomes part of the verifiable record.
Authentication
Uses X-Device-Id header by default. Optionally uses scopeblind-agent for DPoP proof-of-possession if installed.
Configuration
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
