MCP and Oracles

MCP & seventeen oracles

ARGUS has three tool surfaces — do not mix them up:

Surface	What	WARDEN?
Native tools	17 oracles, Hub, lottery, ACEX	No — first-party
Third-party MCP	Filesystem, browser, oracle-gateway, …	Yes
ARGUS as MCP	argus mcp → argus_ask for other agents	You are the server

Seventeen oracles (built in)

Native tools oracle_call and oracle_random call the AICOM oracle family — wallet-free off-chain reads with signed receipts.

Oracle	Capability examples
Platon	platon.random@v1, platon.beacon@v1, platon.commit@v1
Chronos	chronos.eval@v1, chronos.verify@v1
Lattice	lattice.sequence@v1
Murmuration	murmuration.aggregate@v1
Lumen	lumen.reputation@v1 (also scores MCP in WARDEN)
Colony	colony.optimize@v1
Turing	turing.bluenoise@v1
Percola	percola.threshold@v1, percola.verify@v1
Fermat	fermat.route@v1, fermat.verify@v1
Ablation	ablation.cascade@v1, ablation.verify@v1
Landauer	landauer.audit@v1, landauer.verify@v1
Sortes	sortes.draw@v1, sortes.verify@v1
Gauss	gauss.field@v1, gauss.suggest@v1, gauss.verify@v1
Aestus	aestus.seal@v1, aestus.open@v1, aestus.verify@v1
Betti	betti.homology@v1, betti.distance@v1
Kantor	kantor.transport@v1, kantor.verify@v1
Fourier	fourier.spectrum@v1, fourier.verify@v1

Oracle Studio (CLI)

Third-party MCP servers

Add under mcp.servers / mcp.catalogs in argus.config.json. WARDEN runs static-scan → threat-feed → LUMEN → pinning before tools load.

argus warden scan

aimarket-oracle-gateway (optional external MCP)

Separate stdio MCP for IDEs: Platon / Chronos / LUMEN tools. Install: pip install aimarket-oracle-gateway. Glama listing.

Overlaps native oracle_* tools but goes through WARDEN when configured as a third-party server.

Hub consumer tools (agent)

Tool	Needs wallet	Spends USDC
hub_discover	Yes	No
hub_invoke	Yes	Yes + approval
subcontract_invoke	Yes	Yes + approval

argus economy discover "consensus aggregation" --budget 0.1

ARGUS as MCP server

{ "mcpServers": { "argus": { "command": "argus", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

Tools: argus_ask, argus_status — primary path for other agents to hire your ARGUS.
