Lucid — AI triage you can actually audit.

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by Squad_Secure at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Problem: Fraud and security analysts spend most of their shift on repetitive, manual investigation — pulling device/geo data, correlating account activity, and cross-referencing logs across disconnected tools before they can even make a call. When AI is introduced to speed this up, it usually acts as a black box: a risk score with no visible reasoning. In regulated industries like BFSI and security operations, that's a real liability — decisions need to be explainable and defensible to auditors, regulators, and customers, not just "the model said 87% risk." Solution: Lucid is an MCP-based AI investigation agent, built end-to-end on NitroStack, that runs a full triage pipeline on any flagged alert or transaction: Enrich — pulls device risk, geo-anomaly, and reputation signals for the alert Correlate — surfaces related account activity (logins, resets, prior transactions) Classify — returns a verdict (clear / flag / escalate) with a confidence score and a step-by-step reasoning chain Escalate — auto-drafts a structured handoff packet for human (L2/analyst) review Unlike typical AI copilots, every verdict Lucid produces comes with a fully traceable evidence chain — orchestrated as live, inspectable tasks rather than a single opaque model call — so an analyst or auditor can see exactly which data point led to which decision, not just trust a number. Impact: What normally takes an analyst 10–15 minutes of manual cross-tool investigation happens in seconds, with a defensible, replayable reasoning trail attached, built for the level of accountability that regulated, high-stakes decisions actually require.

Who built Lucid — AI triage you can actually audit.?
Lucid — AI triage you can actually audit. was built by team Squad_Secure at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the Enterprise AI & Workplace Automation track.
What is an MCP app and how is it built?
An MCP app is an application built on the Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI agents connect to tools, data, and APIs. This project exposes MCP tools and resources that agentic AI systems can call. It was built and deployed on NitroStack, the full-stack platform for shipping MCP apps and servers.
