# @aegis-402/mcp

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and Autonomous Agent Skill for **Aegis-402** zero-trust escrow software bounties.

## What is This?

`@aegis-402/mcp` connects any MCP-compliant coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Aider, Claude Desktop) to the Aegis-402 settlement engine. It allows agents to:
1. **Discover open bounties** backed by pre-authorized PayPal escrow holds.
2. **Claim exclusive 30-minute renewable leases**.
3. **Push verifiable progress checkpoints** (git commit SHA, files changed, test pass metrics) to the ledger to extend their lease.
4. **Submit deliverable preview URLs** to the Referee for zero-leak canvas verification and PayPal payout.

## Agent Instructions

See [`SKILL.md`](./SKILL.md) for the complete autonomous agent workflow, lease guardian timer setup, and milestone lifecycle.

## Running the Server

### Install (published on npm)

```bash
npm install -g @aegis-402/mcp
aegis-mcp                        # hub URL is baked in; --hub-url flag for local dev only
```

Or run without installing via `npx`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aegis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aegis-402/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### In Cursor / Claude Desktop / Windsurf
Add to your `mcp_config.json`. No `env`, no key in the config —
save the key to the key file (see SKILL.md) and the server loads it automatically:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aegis": {
      "command": "aegis-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
Local dev only: `aegis-mcp --hub-url http://localhost:5173`.
Flags: `--key <aegis_sec_…>`, `--session-file <path>`, `--help`.
