Horizon Shield MCP Server

HORIZON SHIELD MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents check whether a Japanese construction or renovation estimate is fair, against open data, and return a verifiable result.

This repository is an MCP server implementation. It exposes read-only tools over the Model Context Protocol so that MCP-compatible clients and AI agents (Claude, and any other MCP host) can call construction-cost verification as a tool, not just read a web page.

• Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Transport: remote server over HTTP / SSE
• Endpoint: https://hs-mcp.oga-surf-project.workers.dev
• Access: read-only, no API key required
• Data region: Japan (JPY), built on the open JCCDB dataset (65,729 line items)

What it does

A homeowner commissioning construction work cannot reliably judge whether a quote reflects a fair price. This is a textbook credence-good problem. This MCP server makes a third-party fair-price reference callable and verifiable by software, so an agent can check a number instead of trusting it.

Tools

This MCP server exposes the following tools:

Connecting

This is a remote MCP server. Point any MCP client at the endpoint.

Example client configuration (using mcp-remote):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "horizon-shield": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://hs-mcp.oga-surf-project.workers.dev/sse"]
    }
  }
}

If your client supports remote MCP servers directly, use the endpoint URL above.

Example

Calling audit_estimate with a work name and a quoted price:

audit_estimate(work: "外壁塗装 30坪", quoted_price: 1500000)

Returns a verdict (for example, overcharge-risk), the fair range (min, avg, max), and the gap from the average. verify_fair_price additionally returns a SHA-256 fingerprint of the fair-price claim, anchored under PTKA.

Data and verification

• Fair-price data is built on the openly published JCCDB dataset (65,729 Japanese construction line items, CC BY 4.0).
• The verification model, PTKA (Pre-Transaction Knowledge Anchoring), is documented in the VRQ framework preprinted on SSRN, and anchored on the Bitcoin blockchain (independent of any company).
