Core concepts, architectural decisions, and common questions about ContextVM.
ContextVM is a protocol that liberates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by running it over Nostr—a simple, open communication network built on cryptographic, censorship-resistant, and permissionless foundations.
Rather than relying on centralized infrastructure like domains, OAuth, or cloud hosting, ContextVM allows anyone to run or access services using only Nostr and an internet-connected device.
