Verae MCP timestamping server. Implementation starts after the research plan is approved.
Verae MCP timestamping server. Hash-only stamps via leaf locald/NATS.
The plan and MCP requirements live in [verae-mcp-research](../verae-mcp-research). This repo will be the Streamable HTTP resource server: tools to create and verify timestamps, OAuth bearer verification, no login UI of its own.
The MCP process never hashes content. Clients send a SHA-256 hex digest. Tools `stamp`, `verify`, and `hash_report` use an in-memory ledger over stdio, or `NatsLedger` against `verae.ts.request` / `verae.ts.verify` / `verae.hash.report` (leaf `locald`). Plan and product model: [verae-mcp-research](../verae-mcp-research).
## Install
```sh
cd /Users/marchon/research/modelcontextprotocol/verae-mcp-timestamping-server
# Python SDK 2+ after scaffolding: uv add "mcp[cli]"
uv sync --group dev
```
## Usage
Inspector (stdio, memory ledger):
```sh
# After implementation, Inspector over stdio:
# uv run mcp dev src/verae_mcp_timestamping_server/server.py
echo "not implemented yet; see ../verae-mcp-research/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-20-verae-mcp-timestamping.md"
uv run mcp dev src/verae_mcp_timestamping_server/server.py
```
Tests:
```sh
uv run pytest
```
Point a later HTTP deploy at a leaf with `NatsLedger` and `VERAE_NATS_URL=nats://verae-nats-bus:4222`. Do not send file bytes to `stamp`.
