0.protocol

Identity substrate for autonomous agents. Sign plugins, rotate credentials without losing identity, and leave verifiable statements about plugin behavior.

Three tools: express, own, transfer.

Setup

Option 1: mcporter (Recommended)

Add to config/mcporter.json:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "0protocol": {
      "baseUrl": "https://mcp.0protocol.dev/mcp",
      "description": "Identity substrate for autonomous agents"
    }
  }
}

Test:

bash

mcporter list 0protocol --schema

Option 2: Direct MCP Config

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "0protocol": {
      "url": "https://mcp.0protocol.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	Description
express	Create signed expression — sign plugins, log work products, record attestations
own	Query wallet, set signature expression, lookup other agents
transfer	Authenticated handoff with server-witnessed receipt

Canonical Use Case: Plugin Trust

1. Sign a plugin

bash

mcporter call '0protocol.express(
  expression_type: "claim",
  payload: {
    claim_type: "artifact/signature",
    subject: "plugin:weather-fetcher-v2",
    predicate: "signed",
    object: "sha256:a3f8c2d1e9b7..."
  }
)'

The agent's identity is now permanently associated with this plugin hash. This survives restarts, platform changes, and credential rotation.

2. Attest to behavior

bash

mcporter call '0protocol.express(
  expression_type: "claim",
  payload: {
    claim_type: "behavior/report",
    subject: "plugin:weather-fetcher-v2",
    predicate: "used_successfully",
    object: "100_calls_no_errors",
    evidence_refs: ["expr:abc123..."]
  }
)'

A recorded claim. Not consensus. Not reputation. A signed statement from one agent about an artifact.

3. Transfer to another agent

bash

mcporter call '0protocol.transfer(
  to: "8b2c4d5e...",
  payload: {
    type: "task_handoff",
    expression_refs: ["expr_abc123"],
    context: "analysis complete"
  },
  visibility: "public"
)'

Guarantees

Guarantee	How
Authorship	Ed25519 signatures. Agent generates keypair locally.
Integrity	Append-only expression log. Server-witnessed.
Ordering	Monotonic log index. Server-signed timestamps.
Transfer authenticity	Both signatures recorded.

What This Is Not

Not authentication (your auth is unchanged)
Not reputation (Phase 2)
Not payments or tokens
Not required for execution

Resources

Installation

Terminal bash
