Project SATYA: Zero-Trust Telecom Infrastructure for National Call Authentication

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

About this project

SATYA is an AI-powered institutional call verification platform that helps organizations prevent caller impersonation and protect customers from fraud. Scammers frequently exploit the names of trusted institutions such as banks, government agencies, universities, hospitals, telecom providers, and enterprises to deceive people into sharing sensitive information or making fraudulent payments. SATYA enables organizations to verify the identity of their representatives before any sensitive conversation takes place. Authorized personnel are securely enrolled by administrators and authenticate themselves using AI-based facial recognition with head-turn liveness detection before initiating a verified call. Customers can then instantly verify the authenticity of the caller through the SATYA mobile app, which displays the representative’s verified identity, organization, designation, and active verification status in real time. Built using NitroStack and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), SATYA exposes secure verification capabilities while integrating seamlessly with existing organizational workflows. Unlike traditional fraud detection systems that respond after an attack occurs, SATYA prevents impersonation at the start of communication by establishing trust before sensitive information is exchanged. The platform is organization-agnostic, making it suitable for any institution that wants to strengthen customer trust and reduce fraud.

Who built Project SATYA: Zero-Trust Telecom Infrastructure for National Call Authentication?
Project SATYA: Zero-Trust Telecom Infrastructure for National Call Authentication was built by team Overwatch at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the Open Innovation 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.
