Provenance MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 64 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.
Wash-traffic risk checks for Algorand x402 endpoints before your agent trusts or pays them.
Today is the operative word: we check Provenance MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
