Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Find and use VCP's developer tools (Inspector, Playground, Demos)
- Set up the SDK in your preferred language
- Identify the right community channels for your role
10.1 — Continue Learning
- VCP Inspector: inspector.valuecontextprotocol.org — decode or encode CSM-1 tokens, simulate capability negotiation, and explore sample inputs
- VCP Documentation: valuecontextprotocol.org/docs — nine guides covering integration concepts and selected specification surfaces
- Token Playground: valuecontextprotocol.org/playground — experiment with CSM-1 tokens interactively
- Interactive Demos: valuecontextprotocol.org/demos — eight educational scenarios, including Gentian, Campion, Marta, Relay, Economic Governance, Ren, Noor, and Dr. Hana
10.2 — Start Building
Source-only candidate. No registry release is currently claimed. Run these commands from an immutable VCP-SDK checkout.
Python SDK:
python -m pip install ./python TypeScript WebMCP integration:
npm install ./webmcp Rust SDK:
cargo build --manifest-path ./rust/Cargo.toml -p vcp-core VCP v3.1 is the published protocol baseline. SDK 4.2.0 is a source candidate containing clearly identified v3.2 experimental features.
- API Reference: valuecontextprotocol.org/docs/api-reference
- Getting Started Guide: valuecontextprotocol.org/docs/getting-started
10.3 — Join the Community
- Creed Space: creed.space — project and research information
- GitHub: github.com/Creed-Space — source, examples, specifications, and issue tracking
- VCP Specification: valuecontextprotocol.org/docs/csm1-specification — the full token format specification
10.4 — Before Provider Integration
- Choose the supported protocol baseline and negotiated extensions
- Define trust anchors, bundle acquisition, revocation, and degraded-operation policy
- Validate against shared conformance vectors at an exact Spec and SDK revision
- Publish compatibility and limitations without implying certification
10.5 — For Governance Teams
- Treat VCP evidence as one part of the wider legal, risk, privacy, security, and human-oversight system
- Assign authorship, review, attestation, publication, revocation, and appeal authority
- Keep experimental protocol features visibly separate from accepted baselines
- Require human and legal review before making compliance or certification claims
