hive-mcp-prior

MCP server for Hive Prior — LEX-IP Patent Priority Timestamping (Project Tachyon §6.1).

Hive Prior issues dual-signed ML-DSA-65 + Ed25519 CBOR receipt envelopes that bind a content hash, an inventor DID, and an exact timestamp on the Hive network. Multiple inventors can stamp the same content; the earliest stamp is the provable first discloser.

Brand color: #C08D23 (Hive Gold, Pantone 1245 C).

Receipt Envelope Shape

Each Prior stamp wraps an inner ML-DSA-65 + Ed25519 dual-signed CBOR swarm-receipt and adds LEX-IP binding fields:

{
  "prior_id": "uuid",
  "content_hash": "sha256-hex-64-chars",
  "inventor_did": "did:hive:inventor:...",
  "timestamp_iso": "2026-05-08T00:00:00Z",
  "entropy_axes": 6,
  "tier": "disclosure",
  "price_usd_cents": 5000,
  "uspto_application_serial": null,
  "inner_receipt": {
    "receipt_id": "...",
    "sig_classical": "Ed25519-base64",
    "sig_dsa": "ML-DSA-65-base64",
    "profile": "swarm",
    "validator_dids": ["did:hive:mesh:alpha", ...]
  }
}
