MCPS Core

Model Context Protocol Secure (MCPS) - Core Protocol Implementation

MCPS (Model Context Protocol Secure) is "The HTTPS of MCP" - providing enterprise-grade security, encryption, and authentication for Model Context Protocol communications.

Overview

The mcps-core crate provides the foundational protocol implementation for MCPS, including:

🔒 Secure Handshake Protocol - Automated key exchange and session establishment
📦 Message Framing - Efficient binary protocol with built-in compression
🛡️ Threat Detection - Real-time security monitoring and anomaly detection
🔐 Authentication - Multi-factor authentication and identity verification
📊 Protocol Negotiation - Automatic capability detection and version management

Features

Zero Configuration: Automatic protocol detection and transparent upgrade from legacy MCP
Pure Rust: Memory-safe implementation with no OpenSSL dependencies
High Performance: < 100ms handshake time, < 1% overhead vs plain MCP
Enterprise Ready: SOC2 compliance, audit logging, SIEM integration
Backward Compatible: 100% compatibility with existing MCP clients

Quick Start

use mcps_core::{Protocol, HandshakeConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize MCPS protocol
    let config = HandshakeConfig::default();
    let protocol = Protocol::new(config);
    
    // Establish secure session
    let session = protocol.handshake().await?;
    
    // Ready for secure MCP communication
    println!("MCPS session established: {}", session.id());
    Ok(())
}

Architecture

MCPS builds on proven cryptographic primitives:

Encryption: ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption
Key Exchange: X25519 Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
Hashing: BLAKE3 high-performance cryptographic hash
Transport: TLS 1.3 with modern cipher suites
