Metacircular Platform Status
Last updated: 2026-03-27
Platform Overview
One node operational (rift), running core infrastructure services as containers fronted by MC-Proxy. MCIAS runs separately (not on rift). Bootstrap phases 0–4 complete (MCIAS, Metacrypt, MC-Proxy, MCR all operational). MCP is deployed and managing all platform containers. MCNS is deployed on rift, serving authoritative DNS.

Service Details
MCIAS — Identity and Access Service
- Version: v1.8.0 (client library: clients/go/v0.2.0)
- Phase: Maintenance. Phases 0-14 complete. Feature-complete with active refinement.
- Deployment: Running in production. All other services authenticate against it.
- Recent work: WebAuthn/FIDO2 passkeys, TOTP 2FA, service-context login policies, Nix flake for CLI tools.
- Artifacts: systemd units (service + backup timer), install script, Dockerfile, example configs.
Metacrypt — Cryptographic Service Engine
- Version: v1.1.0.
- Phase: Production. All four engine types implemented (CA, SSH CA, transit, user-to-user). Active work on integration test coverage.
- Deployment: Running on rift as a container, fronted by MC-Proxy on ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4).
- Recent work: ACME integration tests (60+ tests), mcdsl migration, security audit fixes.
- Artifacts: systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Docker Compose (standard + rift), install script, example configs.
MC-Proxy — TLS Proxy and Router
- Version: v1.2.1.
- Phase: Maintenance. Stable and actively routing traffic on rift.
- Deployment: Running on rift. Fronts Metacrypt, MCR, and sgard on ports 443, 8443, and 9443. Prometheus metrics on 127.0.0.1:9091.
- Recent work: Route persistence (SQLite), idempotent AddRoute (upsert), golangci-lint v2 compliance, module path migration to mc/ org.
- Artifacts: systemd units (service + backup timer), Docker Compose (standard + rift), install and backup scripts, rift config.
MCR — Container Registry
- Version: v1.2.0. All implementation phases complete.
- Phase: Production. Deployed on rift, serving container images.
- Deployment: Running on rift as two containers (mcr API + mcr-web), fronted by MC-Proxy on ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4). Metacrypt is already pulling images from MCR.
- Recent work: Manifest push bug fix (LastInsertId unreliable after upsert), structured slog error logging in OCI handlers, first production deploy, Dockerfile fixes, server wiring, OCI route mounting.
- Artifacts: systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Dockerfiles (API + web), Docker Compose (rift), install script, rift config.
MCAT — Login Policy Tester
- Version: v1.1.0.
- Phase: Complete. Diagnostic tool, not core infrastructure.
- Deployment: Available for ad-hoc use. Lightweight tool for testing MCIAS login policy rules.
- Recent work: Migrated to mcdsl for auth, config, CSRF, and web.
- Artifacts: systemd unit, install script, example config.
MCDSL — Standard Library
- Version: v1.2.0.
- Phase: Stable. All 9 packages implemented and tested. Being adopted across the platform.
- Deployment: N/A (Go library, imported by other services).
- Packages: auth, db, config, httpserver, grpcserver, csrf, web, health, archive.
- Adoption: All services except mcias on v1.2.0. mcias pending.
MCNS — Networking Service
- Version: v1.1.0.
- Phase: Production. Custom Go DNS server replacing CoreDNS precursor.
- Deployment: Running on rift as a container managed by MCP. Serves two authoritative zones plus upstream forwarding.
- Recent work: v1.0.0 implementation (custom Go DNS server), engineering review, deployed to rift replacing CoreDNS.
- Artifacts: Dockerfile, Docker Compose (rift), MCP service definition, systemd units, install script, example config.
MCDoc — Documentation Server
- Version: v0.1.0.
- Phase: Production. Fetches and renders markdown documentation from Gitea.
- Deployment: Running on rift as a container, fronted by MC-Proxy on port 443 (L7).
- Recent work: Initial implementation, Gitea content fetching, goldmark rendering with syntax highlighting, webhook-driven refresh.
- Artifacts: Dockerfile, MCP service definition.
MCP — Control Plane
- Version: v0.4.0.
- Phase: Production. Phases 0-4 complete. Phase C (automated TLS cert provisioning) implemented. Deployed to rift, managing all platform containers.
- Deployment: Running on rift. Agent as systemd service under
mcpuser with rootless podman. Manages metacrypt, mc-proxy, mcr, and mcns containers. - Architecture: Two components —
mcpCLI (thin client on vade) andmcp-agent(per-node daemon with SQLite registry, podman management, monitoring with drift/flap detection, route registration with mc-proxy during deploy/stop, automated TLS cert provisioning for L7 routes via Metacrypt CA). gRPC-only (no REST). - Recent work: Full v1 implementation (12 RPCs, 15 CLI commands), deployment to rift, container migration from kyle→mcp user, service definition authoring. Phase C automated TLS cert provisioning for L7 routes, mc-proxy route registration during deploy, mc-proxy dependency updated to v1.2.0, module path migration.
- Artifacts: systemd service (NixOS), TLS cert from Metacrypt, service definition files, design docs.
MCDeploy — Deployment CLI
- Version: v0.2.0.
- Phase: Active development. Tactical bridge tool for deploying services while MCP is being built.
- Deployment: N/A (local CLI tool, not a server).
- Recent work: Initial implementation, Nix flake.
- Description: Single-binary CLI that shells out to podman/ssh/scp/git for build, push, deploy, cert renewal, and status. TOML-configured.
