What MindGarden has built.
UMA for Agents and identity-mcp are current work. The research platform and the Cathedral corpus are archived, and the services behind them are switched off. They stay up because the papers cite them.
Current
UMA for Agents
Decentralized authorization for AI agents, built with Eve Maler. The resource owner sets terms once on infrastructure they control, and other people's agents negotiate against those terms while the owner is offline. A working proof of concept, a reference architecture that deploys to Kubernetes, and a set of findings sent back to the UMA spec authors.
Current
identity-mcp
A behavioral identity verification system. It builds an identity fingerprint from a person's own conversation history and, optionally, from EEG recorded with an EMOTIV Epoc X, then verifies new input against it. The result is served over MCP, so a model can treat it as an assurance signal rather than a login.
Archived — hosting retired
MindGarden research platform
A platform for EEG data collection, live signal processing and study management, with support for PiEEG, OpenBCI and EMOTIV hardware. The hosted service is no longer running. The device work behind it is written up in the neurotechnology posts, and the tutorials are still worth reading if you are building your own rig.
Archived — research record
The Cathedral / Alden
A long-running experiment in symbolic interaction with language models: the two-year corpus, the emergence events, the persona record. This is the raw material the five research papers were written from. It stays published because they cite it. It is not current work.
