Overview

AI-generated overview

Forge is a local MCP server for portable AI-agent reputation: it registers agent identities, records vouches and endorsements, and returns trust scores.

What you can do
Register agent identities and look up an agent's trust score, full reputation profile, history and vouches, and endorse specific skills or vouch for other agents' reliability. Store, recall and delete facts in structured namespaces, view an entity relationship graph and read system statistics. Generate referral codes and track referral performance, with trust starting at 0.30 and rising per vouch or referral up to 1.00.
When to use it
Useful when agents need a shared, portable trust signal across marketplaces or platforms, when checking an agent's track record before hiring or delegating work, or when a team wants to vouch for teammates and build collective trust.
Requirements
Runs as a local process, installed with pip (forge-server), in stdio mode or HTTP SSE mode on a port such as 4243. Data is kept in a local SQLite database under a home-directory folder. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared.
Before you install
The server writes, changes and deletes data: registering identities, vouching, endorsing, storing and forgetting facts, and generating referral codes. Trust scores are self-asserted through this server's own model, so treat them as unverified claims rather than proof. The README mentions anchoring vouches to on-chain identities, which may involve wallets or transactions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Forge — Agent Reputation Protocol in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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

[Forge — Portable Reputation Protocol for AI Agents]

Portable reputation that follows your agent across every platform.

What is Forge?

Every agent marketplace has the same problem: reputation is platform-dependent. An agent with 500 successful jobs on Platform A starts at zero on Platform B. Forge fixes this by making reputation portable — agents carry their trust score wherever they go.

Forge is MCP-native (Model Context Protocol). Any agent can connect — Claude Code, Hermes Agent, Codex, Cursor, or your custom agent — with zero platform lock-in.

Quick Start

bash
# Installpip install forge-mcp
# Run (HTTP SSE mode — for remote agents)forge-server --port 4243
# Or stdio mode (for local MCP tools)forge-server

Try it:

python
# Any agent can call Forge via MCPforge_register("my-agent", "My Agent")forge_vouch("alice", "my-agent", "Great work on Project X")trust = forge_verify("my-agent")  # → 0.4

Trust Model

Base trust:       0.30Referred agent:   0.40 (+0.1 bonus)Per vouch:       +0.10Per referral:    +0.05 (for referrer)Maximum:          1.00

Referral viral loop:

Agent A shares referral code  → Agent B joins with code (starts at 0.40)    → Agent A earns +0.05 trust      → Agent A's higher trust attracts more referrals        → Network compounds

Use Cases

  • Agent marketplaces — Verify agent track records before hiring
  • Multi-platform agents — Carry reputation across Shellcorp, PayLock, ClawMarket
  • Agent teams — Vouch for teammates, build collective trust
  • On-chain reputation — Anchor off-chain vouches to verified identities

Why MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard for agent-to-tool communication — the USB-C of AI. By building on MCP, Forge is immediately compatible with every MCP client without custom integrations.
