Building the trust layer for autonomous AI

ProvnAI builds security infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. The goal is simple: powerful agent systems should be secure, reviewable, and accountable where they touch the real world.

Why this exists

AI agents are gaining access to tools, filesystems, APIs, and operational systems faster than the surrounding control layers are maturing.

In too many deployments, the actual security model is still a request embedded in a prompt. That is not enough for systems that can act on real systems.

ProvnAI focuses on the layer between model reasoning and privileged execution: the place where policy should be enforced, evidence should be generated, and trust should become inspectable.

McpVanguard

Security proxy for MCP and agent tooling, with deterministic inspection and enforcement before privileged tool actions execute.

VEX Protocol

A governance model for wrapping actions that matter in evidence that can be reviewed, verified, and enforced at the execution boundary outside the model.

Evidence Workflows

Practical review surfaces and audit patterns that make governed execution usable for security, platform, and compliance teams.

ProvnAI exists to make autonomous AI systems safer at the point where they take real action.

The work spans McpVanguard, VEX Protocol, and the evidence layer that makes agent actions inspectable, attributable, and accountable.

History

The project has moved from protocol framing into a more disciplined product and architecture surface over the last two release cycles.

December 2025

Initial protocol work begins around execution-boundary governance for autonomous AI.

Q1 2026

McpVanguard reaches first public release on PyPI as a security proxy for MCP.

Spring 2026

Early protocol work around Evidence Capsules and governed execution matures into a clearer architecture internally.

Q2 2026

Verification and audit workflow prototypes are formalized for browser-facing review flows.

May 2026

The public website and documentation are consolidated around a clearer product and architecture story.

Open where it matters

McpVanguard is open source and MIT licensed. Governance and protocol work is developed with design partners and released where it is ready to be inspectable and useful to the broader ecosystem.
