ID Protocol
io.github.markoblogoPublished by GitHub account markoblogov0.4.0Updated Oct 24, 2026
Portable human-AI context protocol reference tooling.
Overview
A local Python CLI that turns reviewed profile files into compact, privacy-filtered context for AI tools and repositories.
- What you can do
- ID Protocol provides the idctl command-line tool for managing a personal context profile kept in Markdown files. Commands include init, validate, refresh-soul, export-compact, diff, and install-set-hook. It builds derived artifacts such as soul.md, context.compact.json, and mcp.context.resource.json, applying a per-field privacy policy so unlisted fields stay local-only. The README states the package is a local CLI and does not itself provide an MCP server or synchronize vendor accounts.
- When to use it
- Use it when you want to keep working preferences and operating constraints in files you control and move a reviewed, filtered version of that context between AI tools and repositories. It suits users who want explicit per-field export permissions and a review step before sharing context.
- Requirements
- Python 3.11 or newer, installed locally (for example via uv tool install id-protocol). A profile directory created with idctl init and a valid privacy policy whose owner_id matches the requested profile are needed for compact and MCP resource exports. No accounts, API keys, or network access are declared.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open ID Protocol in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
README
ID Protocol — portable context for AI tools
[CI] [PyPI] [Python] [MIT] [ID Protocol — Local CLI on MCPRush]
Keep your working preferences in files you control. ID turns a reviewed profile into compact, privacy-filtered context that can move between AI tools and repositories.
Try it in five minutes
Requires Python 3.11 or newer.
Edit profiles/demo/profile.minimal.md, then build and inspect the portable output:
The starter profile is provisional until you review it. Use an alias such as demo or my-work-profile; a legal name is unnecessary. ID does not upload generated files.
Files and ownership
Markdown profiles remain the source of truth. Generated JSON is a transport view and may omit nuance. The package is a local CLI; it does not provide an MCP server or synchronize vendor accounts.
Privacy behavior
Compact and MCP resource exports require a valid policy whose owner_id matches the requested profile. Unlisted fields stay local-only. Missing, malformed, mixed, conflicting, or owner-mismatched policies block export.
Legacy list policies from earlier releases are normalized in memory during validation and export. Their source files remain unchanged and their restrictions remain effective. --allow-unfiltered only permits a missing policy in a reviewed legacy workflow; it cannot bypass an invalid policy.
Review the resulting export before attaching it to another tool. See the privacy model, policy schema, and threat model.
ABVX toolchain
These remain independently installable. ID does not install companions or grant tool permissions.
For a repository that already contains a reviewed ID profile:
The adapter returns owner-local bootstrap pointers to SET and preserves an existing custom hook. See the SET integration guide.
Evidence
Three reproducible demos exercise installed onboarding, policy-filtered omission, legacy-policy compatibility, and the agentsgen/SET handoff with synthetic data. They measure local CLI behavior and runtime, not AI answer quality.
The historical benchmark snapshot is a small checked-in sample with explicit limits. AI-client behavior still depends on each client's configuration and context rules.
Develop
Start with the documentation index, protocol, integration boundaries, and contributing guide. Use synthetic profiles in public issues and pull requests.
