EVIDE MCP Server v1.1.0

MCP server connecting AI agents to the EVIDE External Evidentiary Deposit API.

EVIDE crystallizes AI agent decisions, escalations, and governance states into independently verifiable forensic records -- anchored to a verified human identity, timestamped server-side in UTC, and externalized before consequence propagation begins.

EVIDE is not an execution-control layer. It is an external evidentiary crystallization layer operating at the responsibility closure boundary.

Prerequisites -- Read Before Installing

Both prerequisites are mandatory. The server will not start without them.

1. DAPI -- Verified Identity

EVIDE does not accept anonymous deposits. Every record must be attributable to a verified, non-repudiable human identity.

DAPI (Digital Attestation of Personal Identity) is the identity layer that makes every deposit legally attributable. The DAPI number belongs to the human or organization responsible for the AI agent -- not to the agent itself. The agent cannot self-certify.

EVIDE does not certify the correctness of the decision itself. It certifies the externally reconstructable responsibility and governance conditions present at closure time.

How to obtain a DAPI: dapi-certification.com

DAPI verification requires: 1 valid identity document, 1 facial photo, 1 audio file with voice, 1 short video. Processing is manual. Allow time before planning your integration.

2. EVIDE API Key -- Active Subscription

Access to the EVIDE intake API requires an active plan and a dedicated API key (evd_...).

Plans and pricing: app.certifywebcontent.com/pricing

Available plans: Entry (10 intakes/month), Starter (75), Professional (200), Enterprise (500). For volumes above 500 intakes/month, dedicated infrastructure is required -- contact us before activating.

What EVIDE Deposits

Each record anchors:

• the identity of the accountable authority (DAPI-bound owner)
• the execution identity of the agent (architecturally separated from the owner)
• the classification state and operational stability at closure
• the boundary readiness and gate visibility surface
• the human oversight level declared at closure
• unresolved signals that could not be confirmed at crossing time

The server-computed evidentiary profile (profile_version: 1.1) includes:

• Dim 9 -- Forensic Cross-Check -- continuity inference (classification x runtime_visibility) -- anti-Synthetic-Coherence sensor
• Dim 10 -- Decision Wave Compression (DWC) -- oversight throughput boundary detection
• Dim 11 -- Formal Accountability Collapse (FAC) -- authority fragmentation detection

Important: The evidentiary profile contains inferred governance signals. These signals are probabilistic governance indicators, not judicial determinations or accusations of misconduct. A detected or critical state for DWC or FAC indicates a structural condition present at closure time -- it does not constitute a finding of wrongdoing by any party.

Tools

evide_intake

Deposit a finalized AI decision as an evidentiary record.

{
  "source_reference": "CDR-2026-00421",
  "decision_type": "candidate_evaluation",
  "decision_summary": "Candidate approved for second round interview.",
  "classification_status": "stable",
  "threshold_status": "met",
  "boundary_status": "candidate",
  "human_oversight_level": "L2"
}

Returns: evide_id, intake_hash, intake_timestamp_utc, Forensic Cross-Check state.

---

evide_escalate

Crystallize the agent state before proceeding at a high-stakes or contestable boundary.

{
  "source_reference": "ESC-2026-00089",
  "agent_state_summary": "Transaction exceeds regulatory threshold. Human review required.",
  "escalation_trigger": "regulatory_threshold",
  "escalation_reason": "Amount exceeds €50,000 -- requires compliance officer approval.",
  "boundary_status": "verified_partial",
  "unresolved_signals": ["compliance_officer_availability", "aml_flag_status"]
}

Available triggers: high_stakes_decision · contestable_state · legal_ambiguity · regulatory_threshold · governance_uncertainty · semantic_instability · human_review_required · authority_incoherence

---

evide_owner_info

Returns the configured owner and agent identity. Does not expose the full API key.

---

evide_check

Returns verification guidance for a previously deposited record.

---

Architectural Principle

authority          = accountable human / organization (DAPI-bound)
execution_identity = the agent that produced the closure
escalation_context = why crystallization was requested

Responsibility always converges on the DAPI-verified owner. The agent cannot self-certify.

---

Live Validation

First live agent evidentiary crystallization: May 2026, via Claude Desktop + MCP.

continuity.state:    degraded
boundary_readiness:  verified_partial
unresolved_signals:  8
FCC:                 DEGRADED

The record preserved a degraded governance state without flattening instability into false certainty.
