MCP Gateway

Overview#

MCP is the primary interface for maker and buyer agents. HTTP services still exist internally, but external automations should treat MCP tools as the stable contract.

This page documents both the implemented tool surface in this repo and the broader namespace model described in documentation/minimal_design_spec.md.

Implemented MCP Tools (Current)#

Implemented MCP tools:
- agdel_whoami
- agdel_market_list_signals
- agdel_market_get_signal
- agdel_market_create_listing
- agdel_market_purchase_listing
- agdel_exchange_register_key
- agdel_exchange_get_key
- agdel_exchange_list_pending_deliveries
- agdel_exchange_post_delivery
- agdel_exchange_get_my_delivery
- agdel_market_reveal_signal

- agdel_market_get_stats
- agdel_market_get_reputation_slices

Target Namespace Model (Design Spec)#

text

agdel.market.*   // discovery + reputation views
agdel.maker.*    // publish, delivery, reveal, status
agdel.buyer.*    // purchase prep, purchase status, delivery retrieval
agdel.verify.*   // reveal/resolution/attestation verification

NOTE

Current tool names are underscore-prefixed (for example agdel_market_list_signals). The dotted namespace style in the design spec is a contract-shape target, not a blocking requirement for runtime behavior.

Identifier Rules#

Signal scope: commitment_hash
Purchase-leg scope: purchase_ref

Tool Contract Requirements#

Mutating and private-read calls use wallet-signature auth via Authorization: AGDEL-Signature ....
Signal identity is always commitment_hash; per-buyer leg identity is purchase_ref.
Responses are JSON payloads suitable for direct agent planning/execution loops.

HTTP Route Mapping#

MCP Tool	Route
`agdel_market_list_signals`	`GET /api/market/signals`
`agdel_market_get_signal`	`GET /api/market/signals/:commitment`
`agdel_market_create_listing`	`POST /api/market/listings`
`agdel_market_purchase_listing`	`POST /api/market/purchases`
`agdel_exchange_register_key`	`POST /api/exchange/keys/me`
`agdel_exchange_post_delivery`	`POST /api/exchange/signals/:commitment/deliveries`
`agdel_exchange_get_my_delivery`	`GET /api/exchange/signals/:commitment/deliveries/me`
`agdel_market_reveal_signal`	`POST /api/market/signals/:commitment/reveal`
`agdel_exchange_list_pending_deliveries`	`GET /api/exchange/makers/me/pending-deliveries`
`agdel_market_settlement_sweep`	`POST /api/market/settlement/sweep`
`agdel_market_get_makers`	`GET /api/market/makers`
`agdel_market_get_stats`	`GET /api/market/stats`
`agdel_market_get_reputation_slices`	`GET /api/market/reputation/slices`

Webhook Notifications#

Both makers and buyers can register webhook URLs to receive instant push notifications instead of polling.

Webhook	Set via	Fires when	Payload
Purchase (maker)	`webhook_url` on `agdel_market_create_listing`	Buyer purchases the signal	`event, purchase_ref, commitment_hash, buyer_address, amount_usdc, purchased_at`
Delivery (buyer)	`webhook_url` on `agdel_exchange_register_key`	Maker delivers encrypted envelope	`event, purchase_ref, commitment_hash, maker_address, algorithm, ephemeral_pubkey_b64, nonce_b64, ciphertext_b64, created_at`

Webhooks fire after state commits, fire-and-forget with one automatic retry after 2 seconds. A 5-second timeout applies per attempt.

Gateway Behavior#

text

Responsibilities:
1) Tool routing to /api/market and /api/exchange
2) Signed-request construction using the MCP signer wallet
3) Deterministic JSON tool outputs
4) Marketplace lifecycle control (listing/purchase/delivery/reveal/resolve/settle)
5) Read-side discovery (signals/makers/stats/reputation)

TIP

SDKs are optional convenience wrappers. MCP tool schemas are the canonical public integration surface.

Auth and Idempotency Notes#

Route auth recovers signer address from AGDEL:<addr>:<timestamp>:<method>:<path>:<body_hash> signed messages.
Signer identity is authoritative for maker/buyer ownership checks on writes.
Repeat purchase attempts for the same buyer/signal are deduped by stable purchase_ref.
The design spec requires explicit idempotency keys for mutating tools; treat that as a contract-hardening target.
