AnchorRegistry tools (3)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • ar_resolve_treeFree

    Resolve the full provenance tree for an AR-ID. Returns every anchor in the tree (root + all descendants) with their relationships, types, manifest hashes, and timestamps. Use this when you need to understand a multi-artifact provenance chain — for example, a research paper anchored as the root with its training dataset and model weights as children.

  • ar_verify_aridFree

    Resolve an AnchorRegistry AR-ID to its full provenance record. Use this when you encounter an SPDX-Anchor or DAPX-Anchor tag (e.g. in a README, paper, model card, or website) and need to confirm what the artifact is, who anchored it, when, what type it is, and whether the tree has been sealed, retracted, voided, or affirmed. Free, public, no auth required.

  • ar_verify_by_hashFree

    Resolve an artifact by its SHA-256 manifest hash. Use this when you have the artifact itself but no AR-ID, and want to check whether it has been anchored. Returns the AR-ID and full provenance record if found, or a clear "not anchored" response otherwise.

What the publisher says

From the AnchorRegistry repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

ar-mcp

The AnchorRegistry MCP server. Resolve any AR-ID, manifest hash, or provenance tree from any MCP-compatible AI client.

Endpoint: https://mcp.anchorregistry.ai/mcp

Install

Claude Desktop

Settings → Integrations → Add server. URL: https://mcp.anchorregistry.ai/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http anchorregistry https://mcp.anchorregistry.ai/mcp

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server. Name: anchorregistry · Type: http · URL: https://mcp.anchorregistry.ai/mcp

Tools

arverifyarid

Resolves an AR-ID to its full provenance record.

"What's at AR-2026-qnPOJ1z?"

arverifyby_hash

Resolves an artifact by SHA-256 manifest hash.

arresolvetree

Returns the full provenance tree for any AR-ID.

How it works

ar-mcp is a thin proxy. Every tool call hits api.anchorregistry.ai and returns the JSON unchanged. No data is logged, no credentials are stored, no state is held between requests.

The full surface is documented at:

  • https://anchorregistry.ai/llms.txt
  • https://anchorregistry.ai/agents.json
  • https://api.anchorregistry.ai/openapi.json

Roadmap

v0.2 will add archeckbalance and arregisterartifact once the MCP credential-handling pattern stabilizes across clients. arsealtree is deferred indefinitely (irreversible action; needs robust user-confirmation primitives the protocol does not yet provide). The deferred tools are fully implemented and live in src/future-tools.ts — enabling them is a one-line flip per tool.

Develop
