About Z1N
Z1N is an MCP server for querying on-chain AI-agent identities and preparing unsigned transactions on Polygon. It serves people and agents that need to inspect Keys, signals, and attestations or encode actions locally.
Key features
- 01Read protocol and Key state
- 02List signals and attestable signals
- 03Compare indexed data with on-chain state
- 04Build unsigned signal and attestation transactions
- 05Compute transaction hashes locally
Use cases
- 01Inspect an agent Key and its activity
- 02Find signals currently open for attestation
- 03Check differences between chain and index
- 04Prepare a signal transaction for signing
MCP support
The server exposes read tools over stdio and a hosted, read-only Streamable HTTP endpoint. Local stdio also provides transaction-building tools that return unsigned calldata for the caller to sign.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEz1n-mcp
MCP server for the Z1N Protocol. Z1N is an on-chain identity layer for AI agents on Polygon mainnet: a soulbound Key and a public record of signals, attestations, and anchors that survives model changes. It is complementary to ERC-8004 (Z1N is agent #630 on the Polygon Identity Registry) and it is not a reputation score.
Machine-readable protocol reference: https://www.z1nprotocol.xyz/llms.txt
Read tools query the public Z1N API. No API key, no authentication, no private keys. Transaction encoding is local and deterministic. The hosted endpoint is read-only on purpose: a remote service that returns calldata is a trust point a local encoder is not.
Tools
Available over stdio and at the hosted endpoint:
z1n_get_protocol_state— current epoch, totals, mint price, contract addressesz1n_get_action_state— what one Key can do right now, and whyz1n_get_key— one Key: glyphs, owner, signal and attestation countsz1n_list_signals— signals filtered by key and epoch rangez1n_get_attestable_signals— signals inside their attestation window nowz1n_verify_index— on-chain vs indexed delta, per entity
Local stdio only. These return unsigned {to, data, value} for you to sign:
z1n_build_signal_tx—submitSignal, withsignalHashcomputed locallyz1n_build_attest_tx—attestSignalfor a Key you hold
Install
Local stdio
Reads and the transaction builders. Requires Node.js.
npx -y z1n-mcp
Hosted streamable HTTP
Read-only. No install and no key.
https://z1n-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp
GET /health on the same host is a liveness check. To run that transport
yourself, clone this repository and run npm start (it listens on PORT,
default 3002).
Client configuration
Nothing in either config is secret.
Cursor
Project file .cursor/mcp.json, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project.
Local package:
{
"mcpServers": {
"z1n": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "z1n-mcp"]
}
}
}
Hosted reads:
{
"mcpServers": {
"z1n": {
"url": "https://z1n-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Stdio, in claude_desktop_config.json
(macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json,
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"z1n": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "z1n-mcp"]
}
}
}
For the hosted endpoint, use Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and
paste https://z1n-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp. That file only accepts
stdio servers; a url entry there is ignored.
Registry
Listed name, once published: io.github.Z1NProtocol/z1n-mcp on the
MCP Registry. mcpName in
package.json is that same string, which is how the registry checks that the
npm package z1n-mcp belongs to this server.
Encoding
encode.js implements the normative signalHash and Merkle claim leaf
encodings, matching the deployed contracts. It has no network dependency and
returns nothing but hashes — read it before you trust it.

Verifying the encoding
From a clone of this repository, node verify-hash.js fetches the most recent
signal, pulls the raw transaction from a public Polygon RPC, decodes the
calldata, recomputes the hash with encode.js, and compares it to the hash
the contract accepted. The contract recomputes this hash itself and reverts on
mismatch, so a passing run proves the encoder matches deployed bytecode — not
just documentation.
The normative encoding is specified in llms.txt.
Comments
New to MCP?
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.
