Implementation

MCP Protocol Extension: The AIP Agent framework extends the foundational MCP (Model Context Protocol) to enable seamless integration with local MCP tools. This extension introduces enhanced interoperability through:
- SSE (Server-Sent Events) Protocol: Facilitates remote connectivity with MCP tools over networks, enabling real-time event streaming and asynchronous communication.
- Authorization Mechanisms: Implements secure authentication and permission management to ensure controlled access to tools and agents.
- Dynamic Function Loading: Supports on-the-fly loading of functionalities during dialogues, allowing adaptive tool integration without interrupting workflows.
gRPC Integration: To address scenarios where remote tools/agents cannot establish direct connections, gRPC-based communication is introduced. This provides high-performance, bidirectional streaming and structured data exchange, ensuring reliable remote interactions.

Unified Registration & Discovery: The Membase Hub serves as a centralized registry for agents and tools, enabling dynamic discovery and querying of available resources.
- Decentralized Metadata Storage: Stores metadata (e.g., capabilities, endpoints, status) of registered agents/tools, ensuring accessibility across distributed environments.
Memory Persistence: Implements memory capabilities to retain contextual data (e.g., conversation history, task states), resolving agent migration challenges. When agents relocate or restart, historical context is preserved for continuity.
- Scalable Architecture: Supports horizontal scaling to accommodate growing numbers of agents/tools in large-scale deployments.

Blockchain-Based Identity Management:
- Leverages decentralized blockchain technology to establish tamper-proof digital identities for agents and tools. Each entity is assigned a unique cryptographic identifier, ensuring traceability and trust.
- Smart Contracts: Enables automated authorization policies (e.g., access control, usage quotas) executed via blockchain smart contracts, reducing reliance on centralized authorities.
Customizable Verification Mechanisms:
- Application-Level Authorization: Implements role-based or attribute-based access control (RBAC/ABAC) tailored to specific use cases, ensuring least-privilege access.
- Privacy-Preserving Techniques: Integrates data anonymization, encryption, and federated learning to protect sensitive information during cross-agent/tool interactions.
- Consent Management: Allows users to define granular permissions for data sharing and tool usage, aligning with GDPR-like compliance frameworks.

Interoperability: Combines MCP, SSE, and gRPC to bridge local/remote tool integration gaps.
Resilience: Membase Hub ensures agent/tool availability and context preservation during migrations.
Trust & Compliance: Blockchain and custom authorization mechanisms enforce security, auditability, and privacy by design.
