SecureMCP
A Trust Fabric for Multi-Agent Systems
The missing trust layer for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). SecureMCP transforms agent runtimes from opaque executors into cryptographically verifiable trust fabrics with machine-verifiable guarantees of lawful execution, non-repudiation, and tamper-evident provenance.
The Agentic Economy Needs Trust
As billions of AI agents transact, negotiate, and execute tasks on behalf of humans, existing frameworks like FastMCP, LangChain, and AutoGen provide execution and coordination - but not the guarantees of security, compliance, or accountability required in regulated environments. MCP specifies how agents connect, not how they can be trusted.
The Trust Loop
Five tightly coupled modules that transform MCP into a governed runtime
Pluggable Policy Engine
Policies constrain what may happenDynamically enforces machine-checkable rules (role-based access, minimum necessary principle) to validate MCP requests before they are processed.
Inter-Agent Contract Module
Contracts codify what was agreedEncodes agreements into digitally signed, non-repudiable commitments with explicit lifecycles.
Provenance Ledger
The Ledger records what did happenAnchors every decision, action, and data flow in a tamper-evident, hash-linked structure with Merkle proofs.
Reflexive Core
Ensures unsafe actions cannot happenProvides runtime self-awareness, detecting anomalies or violations and halting or escalating in real time.
Federated Consent Graph
Ensures only lawful actions can happenModels entities, jurisdictions, and lawful bases of processing, generating cryptographically signed compliance proofs.
Compliance-Gated Execution
Every agent request results in one of two outcomes - nothing unsafe or non-compliant can proceed silently
APPROVED
Recorded immutably, contractually bound, and accompanied by cryptographic proofs
REJECTED
Denied execution, with the violation permanently logged for audit and accountability
System Guarantees
Formal properties observable at runtime - elevating from best-effort trust to machine-verifiable trust
| Guarantee | Mechanism | Proof Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Ed25519 signatures, SHA-256 hashes | Digital signature, hash chain |
| Compliance | Policy Engine + Consent Graph | Signed policy decision, consent proof |
| Resilience | Reflexive Core runtime monitoring | Logged reflexive event with proof hash |
| Auditability | Provenance Ledger + Merkle trees | Merkle proof, tamper-evident ledger entry |
| Federation | Federated Consent Graph | Cross-jurisdiction consent verification |
