Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 11

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

register_artifact

Register a content-addressed artifact in a separate provenance DAG. Parent hashes may be registered artifacts or external content roots. Idempotent on artifact_id; does not consume a genesis index.

register_genesis

Register an agent's birth. Issues a content-addressed genesis certificate with a strictly monotone index (epoch 0 = the founding cohort). parent_id records lineage; children of recalled/quarantined parents are quarantined at birth. Idempotent — an agent is born once.

verify

verify_artifact

Recompute an artifact record hash and verify it against the DAG ledger.

verify_certificate

Verify a certificate: recompute its content hash and check the ledger.

artifact

get_artifact

Fetch one registered artifact by artifact_id.

artifacts

list_artifacts

List artifacts, optionally filtered by producer agent.

certificate

get_certificate

Fetch an agent's genesis certificate + recall/quarantine status.

describe

describe_agent

Fleet-standard self-description.

lineage

lineage

Full ancestry and descendants of an agent, plus its generation number.

recall

recall

Recall an agent: flags it and quarantines every transitive descendant. Reports exactly which agents were quarantined.

records

list_records

List genesis records, optionally by epoch (0 = founding cohort).

Agent Provenance — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agent Provenance do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: describe_agent, get_artifact, get_certificate, lineage, list_artifacts, list_records and 5 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Agent Provenance mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around verify and register. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Agent Provenance working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 396 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Agent Provenance?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Agent Provenance need an API key?

No. Agent Provenance completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Agent Provenance?

It answers our handshake in 396 ms on average, which is faster than 38% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Agent Provenance open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
