MCP Core Architecture
Function Transport
QUIC (UDP-based) for low-latency communication with optimized packet routing and congestion control.
Session
JWT-based agent authentication with rotating keys and session timeouts for secure communication.
Context
Protocol Buffers encoding for efficient serialization with schema evolution support.
Semantic
RDF/OWL knowledge graphs for rich semantic understanding and reasoning capabilities.
Action
OpenAPI-like task definitions with JSON Schema validation for consistent execution.

System requirement validation
Checks for PowerShell version, .NET Framework, and OS compatibility before installation.
Automatic service registration
Creates and configures a Windows service for automatic startup and management.
Firewall configuration
Sets up necessary inbound rules for QUIC (UDP 5840) and HTTP/3 (TCP 5841).
Environment variables setup
Configures system-wide variables including installation path and JWT secret.
Post-install verification
Validates service startup and provides clear success/error messaging.
Protocol Specifications
Context Encoding (.mcproto)
syntax = "proto3";
message ContextFrame {
string agent_id = 1; // UUIDv4 format
bytes semantic_graph = 2; // RDF/Turtle serialized
repeated Action actions = 3;
message Action {
string name = 1;
map<string, string> parameters = 2;
int32 priority = 3; // 0-100 scale
}
// Timestamp in RFC 3339 format
string timestamp = 4;
// Optional digital signature
bytes signature = 5;
}
Supported Serialization Formats
Network Endpoints
| Endpoint | Protocol | Port |
|---|---|---|
| mcp://agent.register | QUIC | 5840 |
| mcp://context.push | HTTP/3 | 5841 |
| mcp://metrics.stream | WebSocket | 5842 |
| mcp://admin.console | HTTPS | 5843 |
Endpoint Security
All endpoints require JWT authentication with rotating keys. QUIC connections use TLS 1.3 with 0-RTT.
3DS Automator Script (Node.js)
3DS Automator for MCP-PayPal Agent
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const yargs = require('yargs');
const args = yargs
.option('amount', { type: 'number', required: true })
.option('token', { type: 'string', required: true })
.argv;
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: true,
args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']
});
const page = await browser.newPage();
try {
// Simulate navigating to payment gateway's 3DS page
await page.goto(`https://mcp-payment-gateway/3ds?token=${args.token}&amount=${args.amount}`);
// Fill 3DS form (example selectors - adjust per your gateway)
await page.type('#cardholder-name', 'MCP Payment Agent');
await page.type('#verification-code', '123456'); // Mock OTP
await page.click('#submit-3ds');
// Wait for success/failure
await page.waitForSelector('.auth-result', { timeout: 10000 });
const result = await page.$eval('.auth-result', el => el.textContent.trim());
// Output result to PowerShell
console.log(result === 'Authentication successful' ? 'success' : 'failed');
} catch (error) {
console.error('failed');
} finally {
await browser.close();
}
})();
