# Documentation

- [What is CHP?](/docs): An open protocol that makes every capability a person, agent, product, or system exposes governable and tamper-evidently provable.
- [Core concepts](/docs/concepts): The vocabulary of CHP — capability, host, invocation, evidence, correlation, denial, and conformance.
- [Quickstart — govern your agents](/docs/quickstart-agents): Capture every tool call your AI agent makes as replayable, tamper-evident evidence, in one command.

- **Guides**
- Guides
  - [CHP Quickstart](/docs/guides/python-host): Run a local CHP host in Python: register, invoke, replay.
  - [CHP Adopter Quickstart](/docs/guides/adopt): Adopt CHP in about ten minutes — including the Claude Code path.
  - [Build A CHP Adapter](/docs/guides/adapter-authoring): Build a CHP capability adapter that any host auto-discovers.
  - [Synology NAS — CHP Host Onboarding](/docs/guides/deployment): Deploy a CHP host on a Synology NAS or edge box.
  - [The Agentic Mesh — what CHP can do with the fleet as it stands](/docs/guides/mesh): Stitch hosts into one correlated trace across an edge mesh.
- Compare
  - [CHP vs MCP](/docs/compare/chp-vs-mcp): How CHP relates to the Model Context Protocol.
