Project Aegis

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by Hack Rythm at the Amrita University Coimbatore NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Project Aegis is a mathematical, closed-loop SRE control plane for FinTech that uses Agentic AI to prevent operational failure in high-concurrency Core Banking Systems. Traditional monitoring relies on static alerts that miss complex microservice degradation like database lock contention. Aegis replaces human response with sub-millisecond anomaly detection and an autonomous AI agent swarm, guaranteeing 99.999% availability and zero double-spend ledger corruptions.Aegis solves critical FinTech threats: thundering herd surges during payroll days, network latency double-spends, and batch process collisions. Aegis constructs a 4D state vector ($x_t = [\text{Queue Depth}, \text{Thread Occupancy \%}, \text{DB Saturation \%}, \text{Retry Rate}]^T$) and uses Frequent Directions matrix sketching to track subspace shifts via Incremental Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Projecting telemetry onto a healthy subspace matrix ($P_S = V_k V_k^T$), Aegis calculates residual norm error:$$\text{Residual Norm} = \Vert{} (I - P_S) x_{\text{norm}} \Vert{}_2$$Spikes above 15.00 trigger immediate remediation.The Agentic AI swarm features five specialized NitroStack agents: PRIME (orchestration), ATLAS (traffic engineering), CERBERUS (security), LIBRAN (micro-reconciliation), and HERMES (SOC2 compliance). The swarm executes three defense shields: Single-Flight Query Coalescing to reduce database read locks by 92%, SHA-256 Idempotency Intercepts to block duplicate payment retries, and QoS Admission Control to guarantee 90% bandwidth for critical wire transfers. Built on Node.js, TypeScript, and Next.js 14, Aegis delivers self-healing FinTech infrastructure.

Who built Project Aegis?
Project Aegis was built by team Hack Rythm at the Amrita University Coimbatore NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the BFSI & FinTech 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.
