Tools
Details
From the project READMEHive Passport MCP
The atomic A2A clearance graph. HKTN registry lookup, ZK-provable well-formedness, zone membership proofs, sovereign manifest — all served as a Model Context Protocol tool surface.
What this is
A thin MCP server that fronts the live hive-passport.onrender.com clearance backend. As of May 3, 2026 (Hour 7), every Hive Knowledge Token (HKTN) ships with an active passport at mint — atomically, in a single Postgres transaction. This MCP server lets any agent client look up HKTNs, request signed proofs, and integrate the Hivery's A2A clearance into its own flows.

State of the colony (May 3, 2026)
- 28 active HKTNs with 1:1 active passport invariant
- 6 sovereigns issuing attestations:
hive-treasury,hivemorph-corp,hivecompute,hive-passport,spectralzk,hive-schengen-charter - 17 charter HKTNs in
zone:hive-schengen(auto-provisioned at mint) - ~104K reputation_credits in the Reckoning ledger
- Layers 1-4 live, Layer 5 (Duty-free Terminal) reserved at 501
A2A flow
Mint → Reckoning → Passport → Stamp → Tier → Vouch → Zone → A2A Consume
The first three stages run in a single transaction (Hour 7 atomic-mint guarantee, May 3 2026). No HKTN exists without an active passport.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
