AGTS MCP Server
Sovereign MCP Gateway — Governed Tool Invocation for Autonomous Agents
Model Context Protocol server that turns tool calls into cryptographically authorized, verifiable actions. 115+ governed tools across 6 layers — hybrid Ed25519 + SLH-DSA signed and Merkle-anchored. Designed to support EU AI Act, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, and FINRA compliance.

What is AGTS?
AGTS (Autonomous Governance Transparency Standard) is a transparency-backed governance protocol that converts validated machine decisions into append-only cryptographic records, independently verified by a network of witnesses and monitors.
decision → record → immutable history → verifiable truth
Every tool call passes through a five-gate firewall (Statistical, Causal, Regression, Evidence, Human-Compatible Explanation) before execution. Admitted actions are Merkle-anchored into an append-only transparency log and signed with hybrid post-quantum cryptography.
Cryptography & Validator Quorum
Every governance envelope produced by this server is signed with a hybrid post-quantum signature: classical Ed25519 in parallel with SLH-DSA-SHAKE-128f. The signature is verifiable today with Ed25519-only tooling and remains forgery-resistant against future quantum adversaries via SLH-DSA. Sovereign Mail additionally uses ML-KEM-512 for encrypted key exchange, and peer-trust ceremonies use ML-DSA-44.
Admit decisions for governed tool calls require an independent 3-of-4 validator quorum with constraint regulator_count ≥ 1 and auditor_count ≥ 1. Validators are deployed as separate Cloudflare Workers (agts-validator-{a,b,c,d}) with distinct ECDSA P-256 keypairs; each validator independently re-evaluates the proof bundle and signs an AGTS_VOTE_V1 certificate. The quorum certificate is then anchored alongside the governance envelope in the Merkle transparency log, so any external party can reconstruct the four signed votes and verify that quorum was honestly met.

How This Server Differs
Most MCP servers in the ecosystem (~83%) are thin API wrappers — a single connector exposed as one or two tools, running locally via stdio, with no authentication or validation. The production-tier servers from vendors like GitHub, Slack, and AWS (~2%) are well-built but architecturally simple: they translate tools/call into API requests for their own service.
This server operates at a different level. It is not a wrapper around an external API — it implements a full governance protocol where:
- Every action must pass through five evaluation gates before execution is authorized
- Admitted actions are cryptographically signed (hybrid Ed25519 + SLH-DSA) and Merkle-anchored in an append-only transparency log
- Execution outcomes are traced back to their authorization, creating a closed governance loop
- Independent monitors verify log consistency through a gossip protocol, detecting equivocation or tampering
- Identity is handled through post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-44, ML-KEM-512) for forward security
The result is that every tool call produces independently verifiable cryptographic evidence of what was authorized, what was executed, and whether the outcome matched the authorization — the kind of audit trail required in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, legal, critical infrastructure).
Regulatory Readiness
The gateway's architecture is designed to support compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks. The table below maps specific requirements to the AGTS features that address them.
EU AI Act
SOC 2
ISO 27001
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
GDPR
NIS2
FINRA
The closest comparable in the market is not another MCP server — it is what a regulated enterprise would build internally to control what their AI agents can do in production.
