Context Indexing Layer

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

A core innovation in Encryptum’s architecture is the integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) through a dedicated Context Indexing Layer. This layer transforms Encryptum from a simple decentralized storage network into an intelligent, privacy-first infrastructure for AI systems, enabling autonomous agents to store, retrieve, and reason over data as contextual knowledge.

This layer serves as the bridge between raw encrypted data and machine-readable intelligence. It manages how AI-native agents generate, interpret, and use contextual memory in the form of encrypted Content Identifiers (CIDs) that reference data stored on the IPFS network.

Key Functions

1. Context-Aware Data Storage The Context Indexing Layer allows agents to associate data with specific contextual dimensions such as time, task, user identity, intent, or memory type. Instead of blind storage, agents tag each encrypted file with context metadata before uploading it, enabling semantically rich organization and retrieval of knowledge.

2. CID Mapping and Index Management Upon encryption and IPFS storage, files are assigned unique CIDs. MCP enhances this by maintaining a private or shared index of these CIDs based on context labels, task identifiers, or knowledge graphs. This mapping allows agents to dynamically navigate memory structures without exposing raw file contents.

3. Contextual Reasoning for Agents Through the context layer, AI agents can perform reasoning functions such as:

• Locating previous interactions or instructions relevant to the current task

• Linking new input to historical context

• Creating encrypted references to prior outcomes or models

• Building a private or shared knowledge base

This enables persistent memory and adaptive behavior across different sessions or applications.

4. Privacy-Preserving Collaboration Encryptum’s context layer supports multi-agent environments by allowing agents to share CIDs selectively with permissioned peers. Each CID remains encrypted and bound by access control rules recorded in smart contracts. This enables collaboration without data leakage, ideal for federated learning or collective reasoning.

5. Versioning and Auditability The context indexing layer supports version control for contextual entries. As agents evolve, they can timestamp changes, reference previous versions, and ensure the auditability of their knowledge base. This is especially useful in sensitive or regulated environments.

By integrating this context layer, Encryptum provides semantic structure and intelligence to its encrypted data storage. It not only protects user privacy but also empowers agents to operate on their own data memories effectively—making Encryptum the first decentralized context engine built for autonomous AI systems.
