Third-party cryptographic proof for AI agent API calls — ArkForge Trust Layer MCP server

Project description

ArkForge Trust Layer — MCP Server

Third-party cryptographic proof for AI agent API calls.

Works with Claude, GPT-4, Mistral, LangChain, AutoGen, or any HTTP client. The proof is signed by ArkForge (independent third party) — not by your agent.


Why this matters

When an AI agent calls an external API, there is no independent record of what was sent, what was received, or when it happened. The agent could lie. The API could lie. There is no verifiable audit trail.

ArkForge fixes this by acting as a certifying proxy: the agent routes its API call through ArkForge, which signs the full request+response bundle with an Ed25519 key, timestamps it via RFC 3161, and anchors it in Sigstore Rekor — an immutable, publicly auditable log.

The resulting proof is permanently verifiable at a public URL, by anyone, without contacting ArkForge.

This is the difference between a self-signed certificate and a CA-issued one. Tools like PiQrypt or Attestix produce proofs signed by the agent itself. ArkForge produces proofs signed by an independent third party.


Installation

# Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:

    "arkforge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["arkforge-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ARKFORGE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

certify_call

Call an external API and get a cryptographic proof of the transaction.

target          URL of the upstream API to call
payload         JSON body (optional)
method          "POST" or "GET" (default: "POST")
description     Human-readable description included in the proof
agent_identity  Identifier for the calling agent (optional)

Returns proof_id, verification_url, upstream_response, chain_hash, timestamp, and Ed25519 signature.

Use this instead of calling the API directly when you need an auditable record.

Example response:

{
  "proof_id": "prf_20260310_143022_a1b2c3",
  "verification_url": "https://arkforge.tech/trust/v1/proof/prf_20260310_143022_a1b2c3",
  "upstream_response": { "status": "ok" },
  "chain_hash": "e3b0c44298fc1c149afb...",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-10T14:30:22.481Z",
  "timestamp_authority": "verified",
  "rekor_log_id": "https://rekor.sigstore.dev/api/v1/log/entries/...",
  "seller": "api.example.com",
  "signature": "MCowBQYDK2VwAyEA..."
}

get_proof

Retrieve the full proof bundle for a given proof_id.

verify_proof

Get a human-readable summary of what a proof certifies — useful for explaining to a user or auditor what was independently verified.

Works with any agent framework

The MCP server is one integration path. The same REST API works from any language or framework:

curl -X POST https://arkforge.tech/trust/v1/proxy \
  -H "X-Api-Key: your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"target": "https://api.example.com/action", "payload": {"data": "value"}}'
