Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 809 tokens (~202/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

Install

How do I install the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server?

io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance is a hosted endpoint at https://api.quantsynth.net/mcp/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
markovian_notarize ~207

Notarize any file or hash into a public transparency log cosigned by 7 independent witnesses and anchored to Bitcoin. Hash-only: pass a local file path (hashed on this machine; the file never leaves it) or a sha256 hex string — only 32 bytes reach the log. Returns a receipt with the leaf index, inclusion-proof URL, an offline c2sp.org/tlog-proof bundle URL, and the witness trust policy. Proves the hash existed no later than the covering checkpoint, in a single history everyone sees identically; does NOT prove authorship or that the content is true. Rate-limited (10/hour). Typical use: notarize an output the moment it is produced, keep the file, hand anyone the proof URL.

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringLocal file to notarize. Hashed here; never uploaded.
sha256stringAlternatively, a sha256 hex digest (with or without 'sha256:' prefix).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

markovian_stamp ~318

Commit any data (an AI output, a decision, a record) into a public, witnessed transparency log and get back a verifiable, tamper-evident provenance stamp (canonical markovian-provenance/v1). It proves the data existed and was committed at this time; it does NOT assert the data is correct (provenance, not truth). No wallet, account, or funding is required, the first stamp just works, and only the SHA-256 hash of your data is sent to the public API, the raw data is never stored. The returned merkle_root is the handle: save it, then call markovian_verify(merkle_root) to prove integrity later, or pass prior stamps in derived_from to build a lineage you can walk with markovian_trace. Typical use: stamp an agent output the moment it is produced, so anyone can later confirm it was not altered.

NameTypeReqDescription
datastringyesExact bytes/string to stamp. Hashed server-side; raw data is not stored.
derived_fromarrayOptional lineage. A list of prior stamps this output was derived from, each {merkle_root, data_hash}. Bound inside the committed bytes so the link is tamper-evident; the payload is published so marko…
labelstringOptional human label for the stamp.
walletstringOptional. Omit and the protocol mints an ephemeral committer for you. Provide one to attribute the stamp.
NameTypeReqDescription
attestationstringyes
block_heightinteger|nullLegacy field, null for stamps after 2026-07. Historical values are internal sequence heights of a retired chain (never a Bitcoin block).
data_hashstringyes
issuerstringThe committer handle, as named in the transparency-log leaf. Attribution metadata, not a cryptographic identity.
merkle_rootstringyes
schemastringyes
stamped_atstringyes
verifystringyes
walletstringyesCompatibility alias for issuer (kept because existing clients require it).
zk_commitmentstring|nullLegacy field, null for stamps after 2026-07. Historical values are Pedersen points that shipped without an opening, so clients could never check them.

No examples provided.

markovian_trace ~127

Walk and verify a stamp's full provenance lineage by merkle_root. Use this when a stamp was created with derived_from links, to map what an output was built from. Returns a MAP of the graph (not a yes/no verdict): each node carries hash_binds and anchored, each edge carries edge_verified, and `valid` is true only if every node and edge checks out. A node whose payload was never published is an unresolved frontier (resolved:false). Read-only. Provenance, not truth.

NameTypeReqDescription
merkle_rootstringyesroot of the stamp to trace.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

markovian_verify ~157

Look up a Markovian stamp by its merkle_root against the public verifier, with no key or account. verified:true means the stamp record exists and the response echoes its committed data_hash — recompute your content's SHA-256 and compare it to that data_hash yourself to confirm the content is unaltered. An unknown merkle_root returns verified:false. The trust-nobody path is the stamp's witnessed transparency-log leaf (log_index / inclusion URL from markovian_stamp): its inclusion proof verifies against the witnessed log head with no trust in this endpoint. Read-only; anyone can run it, including a party who does not trust the stamper.

NameTypeReqDescription

Common questions

What is the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server?

io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance. Stamp any data to the Markovian chain for a verifiable provenance receipt. Proves timing, not truth. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.quantsynth.net/mcp/).

Is the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server safe to use?

io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server expose?

io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance exposes 4 tools: markovian_notarize, markovian_stamp, markovian_verify, markovian_trace. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 809 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance MCP server still maintained?

io.github.MarkovianProtocol/provenance is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
