v0.1 draft - open source - MIT-licensed specs

Prove what your AI actually does.
Before a buyer, regulator, or agent has to guess.

Explain this page:

Kinetic Gain is a set of open JSON specs that let an AI vendor declare what a system is, what it refuses, what evidence backs its claims, and what happens when it fails, so procurement teams, compliance reviewers, and other AI agents can verify it automatically instead of taking your word for it.

Open source - validated against JSON Schema 2020-12 - works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client

The core layer

Each spec carries a top-level <name>_version field. The MCP server exposes fetch / validate / inspect / cross-spec-join tools for all twelve specs. The eleven regulated-vertical 6-packs, HealthTech, EdTech, PropTech, InsurTech, HR Tech, FinTech, GovTech, LegalTech, EnergyTech, DefenseTech, RetailTech, fan the same six canonical artifact shapes across 66 sibling spec repos; see /verticals/ for the full extension layer.

All twelve specs are MIT-licensed for maximum implementation freedom; reference implementations like the unified MCP server (mcp-kinetic-gain) are AGPL-3.0.

Distribution — pin from your own CI

The Suite ships through three consumer-pinnable channels. Code can sit on GitHub all day; if consumers can't pin from their own CI / package manager, it doesn't move.

🛍️ GitHub Marketplace. 21 protocol PR-gate + governance Actions, each with v0.1.0 exact-pin + floating v0.1 major tags:

uses: mizcausevic-dev/agent-card-diff-action@v0.1      # floating major
uses: mizcausevic-dev/agent-card-diff-action@v0.1.0    # exact pin

📦 npm registry. kinetic-gain-embedded@0.1.1 (Apache-2.0, dual ESM/CJS, zero runtime deps, Node 20+, npm provenance-stamped) — drop-in audit-stream + Decision Card vault contract SDK. Plus mcp-kinetic-gain@0.9.1 (75 tools, on the official MCP Registry).

🌐 MCP Registry. mcp-kinetic-gain is also published on the official MCP Registry, on mcp.so, and indexed by the Cline marketplace. One Claude Desktop / Cursor / MCP-client config entry covers all 12 specs.

Across the rest of the estate

The Suite is one of several product lanes under kineticgain.com. The full grouped index — 107 live properties across 17 verticals — is at kineticgain.com/constellation/.
