Tier 1 Protocol

Tier 1 Protocol — Connector for Bolt

Tier 1 Protocol is a library your AI searches instead of guessing from. Documents are cut into records, each one sealed with SHA-256 at its exact byte address, and served through a single MCP door: your agent asks, the door returns the exact passages — and the proof recomputes on every fetch.

Add it to Bolt (about a minute)

1. From the Bolt homepage, click the + by the chat box → Connectors → Manage connectors → Custom MCP server.
2. Fill in exactly:
   • Name: Tier 1 Protocol
   • URL: https://mcp.tier1protocol.app/mcp
   • Transport: HTTP
   • Authentication: MCP OAuth
3. Click Connect and sign in with your Tier 1 account.
4. Back in your project, toggle Tier 1 Protocol on.
5. Ask your agent: "Using Tier 1, search the starter library: what happened in this account between 23:41 and 00:19?"

The agent should answer from the sealed records and cite record addresses. One record in the starter library — ticket-0007 — fails its verification check on purpose. That's the receipt doing its job: a record that doesn't check out gets flagged, not smoothed over.

The tools

Bolt discovers these from the server at connect time:

Tool	What it does
authorize_sources	Lists the sources your agent may search
search	Finds the records that answer a question
fetch	Retrieves a record by address and re-verifies its seal
render_context_results	Renders search results as context your agent can use

The starter library

Every Tier 1 account begins with the same starter library: the Northpine sample — 282 records across 9 documents, sealed at revision 6bf3c9cb1af2. It's small on purpose. Ask it the 23:41 question and watch the whole loop — search, fetch, verify — run on material you can check by hand.

Your own library

Build your library in your browser at tier-1-protocol-kfn8.bolt.host — your files are cut and sealed on your machine, and the door is what you pay for:

• $19/month for door access, or
• a 3-day free trial, no card, if you want to watch it work first.

The paywall is the door, not the app.

Notes

• Connectors serve Bolt build sessions — that's where the agent calls the door. A published app that needs Tier 1 at runtime calls the same endpoint from its own code, like any external service.
• The door asks you to sign in with your Tier 1 account (MCP OAuth). Your library is fenced to your account.
• This repository is the setup sheet only. There is no product code in it.
