Kova

The trust layer for the agent economy.

Kova is an open cryptographic protocol (MIT license) that enables AI agents to declare behavioral commitments, prove compliance, and build verifiable reputation across platforms. Single package, one import, 30-minute integration.

Install

npm install kova

Quick Start

import { withKova } from 'kova';

const server = await withKova(yourMCPServer, 'data-isolation');

Three lines of code. Your MCP server is now wrapped with covenant enforcement.

Presets

| Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | data-isolation | Read-only data access, no writes, no network | | read-write | Read/write to data and output, no network | | network | Full network access with PII protection | | minimal | Deny all; audit only |

Advanced: 3 Primitives

For custom integrations, Kova re-exports the protocol primitives:

• Identity Binding: createIdentity, evolveIdentity
• Covenant Declaration: buildCovenant, verifyCovenant
• Compliance Proof: generateComplianceProof, Monitor

import { createIdentity, buildCovenant, generateComplianceProof } from 'kova';
