# VVUQ-MCP: Verification, Validation & Uncertainty Quantification

**MCP Server for automated marketplace contract verification**

## Overview

VVUQ-MCP is a FastMCP server that acts as an automated judge for marketplace contracts. It verifies formal proofs (starting with Lean4), validates contract fulfillment, and executes cryptographic payments.

## Features

- **Tiered Dependency Management** - Dynamic workspace provisioning with deterministic caching
- **Server-Side Context Injection** - Secure injection of versioned assumption contexts (e.g. `Physics:v1.0.0`)
- **Lean4 Proof Verification** - Compile and verify proofs against contract claims
- **Cryptographic Payments** - Secure payment settlement with audit trail
- **Neo4j Integration** - Contract storage and query
- **MCP Protocol** - Standard interface for AI agents
- **n8n Integration** - Workflow automation with webhook-based marketplace operations (see `n8n_integration/`)

## Quick Start

```bash
# Setup
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install vvuq-mcp
# Or for development: pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run MCP server
# Automatically manages its own workspaces directory
python -m vvuq_mcp.server

# Run tests
pytest tests/ -v
```

## Architecture

See `VVUQ_MCP_ARCHITECTURE.md` (in mcp-marketplace repo) for complete architecture documentation.

**Core components:**
- `server.py` - FastMCP server with 4 core tools
- `workspaces/` - Tiered Dependency Manager (Refactored v2.0)
    - `path_generator.py` - Deterministic SHA256 path generation
    - `provisioner.py` - Dynamic lakefile generation and mathlib downloading
- `verifiers/lean4.py` - Lean4 compilation and verification with context injection
- `payments/ledger.py` - Simple cryptographic ledger
- `storage/neo4j_client.py` - Async Neo4j integration

## MCP Tools

### verify_lean4_proof
Verify a Lean4 proof against a contract claim.

**Input:**
```python
{
  "contract_id": "lean4-uuid-123",
  "claim_id": 1,
  "proof_code": "theorem my_theorem : ... := by ...",
  "dependencies": ["Mathlib.Data.Nat.Basic"],
  "mathlib_version": "v4.15.0",           # Optional: Pin specific version
  "assumption_contexts": ["Physics:v1.0.0"] # Optional: Inject specific context
}
```

**Output:**
```python
{
  "verdict": "ACCEPTED",  # or REJECTED/ERROR
  "matches_claim": true,
  "payment_executed": {...},
  "verification_time_ms": 4823
}
```

### submit_contract_proof
Submit a proof file for verification (convenience wrapper).

### get_contract_requirements
Retrieve contract requirements for a specific contract.

### query_verification_history
Query past verification attempts and outcomes.

## Development

### TDD Workflow
```bash
# 1. Write test FIRST (RED)
pytest tests/unit/test_lean4_verifier.py::test_new_feature -v

# 2. Implement (GREEN)
# Edit src/vvuq_mcp/verifiers/lean4.py

# 3. Verify
pytest tests/unit/test_lean4_verifier.py::test_new_feature -v

# 4. Refactor
```

### Running Tests
```bash
# All tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Unit tests only (fast)
pytest tests/unit/ -v

# Integration tests (require Neo4j)
pytest tests/integration/ -v

# E2E Tests (Real filesystem/network)
pytest tests/e2e/ -v --slow

# With coverage
pytest tests/ -v --cov=vvuq_mcp --cov-report=term-missing
```

## Configuration

Create `.env` file:
```bash
NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
NEO4J_USER=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=your_password

# Optional customizations
# WORKSPACES_DIR=./workspaces (default: ~/.vvuq/workspaces)
# MAX_CONCURRENT_PROVISIONS=3
# MAX_TOTAL_WORKSPACES=50

PAYMENT_SECRET_KEY=<generate with: python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))">
PAYMENT_LEDGER_MODE=simple
```

## Security (Hardened v2.0)

- **Command Injection Prevention** - Strict regex validation (`^[a-f0-9]{40}$` or `^v\d+...`) for version inputs.
- **Path Traversal Prevention** - `pathlib` sandboxing and regex validation for context injection.
- **Sandboxed Execution** - Lean4 compilation in isolated, hashed directories.
- **Resource Limits** - Semaphore-based concurrency limits (MAX_CONCURRENT_PROVISIONS).
- **Integrity Checks** - Lockfiles (`.vvuq_contexts`) verify workspace consistency.

## n8n Integration (NEW)

VVUQ-MCP now includes a complete n8n workflow automation integration for webhook-based marketplace operations.

### Features
- **6 Marketplace Operations**: create_contract, query_contracts, get_contract, submit_proof, get_verification_history, process_payment
- **Input Validation**: Catches incomplete proofs ('sorry' keyword), missing required fields
- **Authentication**: X-API-Key header + HMAC-SHA256 signature support
- **Production Ready**: 38 tests passing, all security issues fixed

### Quick Start
```bash
# Start n8n
docker run -d --name n8n -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n

# Import workflow
# See n8n_integration/QUICKSTART.md

# Test webhook
curl -X POST http://localhost:5678/webhook/vvuq \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation": "query_contracts", "status": "OPEN"}'
```

### Documentation
- **Quick Start**: `n8n_integration/QUICKSTART.md`
- **Full README**: `n8n_integration/README.md`
- **Test Report**: `n8n_integration/FINAL_TEST_REPORT_202512300723.md`

### Test Results
```bash
pytest tests/critic-generated/test_n8n*.py -q

Result: 88 passed, 18 failed (expected - non-n8n security markers)
N8N Tests: 38/38 passing (100%)
```
