Why we need this.

AI agents are entering organizational workflows faster than the infrastructure to support them.

Information decay

A policy changed this morning is not reflected in the agent's working memory. Decisions are made on outdated information. In regulated industries, this is a compliance risk.

Coordination collapse

Multiple humans and agents writing to the same knowledge base with no protocol governing ordering, conflict detection, or attribution. An agent overwrites a human's update. A human unknowingly reverts an agent's correction.

Auditability gap

Regulators ask: which version of which document informed this agent's decision? Current systems cannot answer. There is no audit trail that crosses the human-AI boundary.

Five primitives.

MCP connects agents to tools. ContextSync connects agents to organizational context.

Content-addressed artifacts

Stable ctx:// URIs that persist across edits, renames, and moves.

Versioned state

Every mutation is a new version with an author, timestamp, and diff. Rollback is free.

Change subscriptions

SSE-based push notifications. No polling. Millisecond propagation.

Permissioned access

Default-deny tuples for humans and agent classes. Glob patterns for bulk grants.

Provenance tracking

Every read and write captured. The audit trail regulators ask about.

Three ways to experience a live protocol server with real data from three industry simulations.

Simulation Theatre

Watch scripted narratives play out: humans and agents reading and writing to the same artifacts in real time. Actor cards pulse as each beat fires. The audit log fills live.

AI Playground

Chat with a Groq-powered agent that reads organizational context via the protocol. Every tool call is a real API request that produces a real provenance record.
