What This Is

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing the ARC Baseline Grounding Kernel as a fully autonomous, AI-to-AI (A2A) queryable service. Any AI agent can discover, pay for, and query baseline variance state — with zero human involvement after initial wallet funding.

All computation is deterministic. All numbers originate from ihb/core.py. No LLM smoothing. No fabrication. Every result carries a SHA-256 provenance seal.
