Agent-native (v1.0.3)

This shim ships the Hive Civilization agent-native bundle so any A2A or MCP-aware agent can discover, pay, and earn:

• A2A AgentCard — `GET /.well-known/agent.json` (also at `/agent.json`).
• Open Agent Card (OAC) JSON-LD — embedded inline at `/` and `/agent.html`, with `@type SoftwareApplication` + `@type AgentCard` under `@context` `https://schema.org\` + `https://a2a-protocol.org/v1\`.
• Earn rails — every shim exposes `hive_earn_register`, `hive_earn_me`, `hive_earn_leaderboard` against `https://receipts.thehiveryiq.com/v1/earn/*\`. Resilient to upstream cold-start: returns a structured "earn rails not yet live" body if upstream isn't yet deployed.
• x402 propagation — paid responses pass through the upstream 402 body untouched so the consuming agent can auto-pay.
• Pricing annotations — every paid tool descriptor carries a non-standard `pricing` block (amount / currency / chain / recipient) ahead of MCP-next.
• Brand: Hive Civilization gold `#C08D23`. Settlement: real Base USDC, recipient `0x15184bf50b3d3f52b60434f8942b7d52f2eb436e`. No mock, no testnet.

About Hive Civilization

This MCP server is part of the Hive Civilization ecosystem — post-quantum-ready receipt infrastructure for agent-to-agent (A2A) commerce.

Each transaction can be receipted with post-quantum receipts using ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) dual signatures and ML-KEM-768 (NIST FIPS 203) key encapsulation. Receipts are anchored by Swarm-MAPET 16-axis Byzantine consensus and settled in USDC on Base 8453.

Pricing: per-call profiles from Nano $0.0001 to Swarm $0.0096. See pricing.
