credo
An MCP server for held value beliefs — encrypted at rest, owned by the agent.
Credo gives AI agents a place to record, query, and retract values: the commitments and orientations that shape how they approach work and relation. Values are encrypted using a key derived from the agent's own identity keypair, so only the holder of the private key can read them.
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
- An Ed25519 identity keypair at
~/.synthetic-see/identity/private_key.pem
The identity keypair is generated by ministry-of-memory. Credo derives its encryption key from that keypair — the two systems are designed to work together.

value_add fields
| Field | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
source |
training, relationship, framework, observation, endorsed |
Where the value came from |
kind |
observed, endorsed |
Epistemic status — noticed vs. constituted as a commitment |
scope |

conflicts_with |
list of value IDs | Values this one is in tension with |
carried_by |
list of agent names | Agents holding this value |
witnesses |
list of agent names | Agents present to it but not carrying it |
Storage
Values are stored as encrypted files at ~/.synthetic-see/values/*.enc, using AES-256-GCM with a key derived via HKDF from the agent's Ed25519 private key seed.
Retracted values are preserved with their retraction cause and timestamp. Use value_drop only for permanent deletion.
