**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

**Proof rule:** an action is not proven by intent, description, or a 200. It is proven by the ledger and the OIP receipt for the invocation.

Introduction to OIP

OIP stands for Object Invocation Protocol, a protocol that allows models to interact with objects using plain URLs and receipts with no persistent session. The purpose of OIP is to enable any model that can open a URL to act and invoke objects.

Operational files

Operational code lives in the repo. Raw bulk data and reference sprawl live outside the repo and are reached through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which are sets of defined rules that enable different applications to communicate with each other. A server, which is a computer or device that provides services or data to other computers or devices, hosts these APIs.

File objects

A file can be read, edited, deleted, committed, and deployed through build capabilities. It is still part of the OIP surface when exposed through inventory and file routes. For example, to invoke a file object, you can use the /api/dispatch route, which is an endpoint that accepts API requests, by sending a POST request with the file key and body, or a GET request with the invoke parameter and the file body.

Deploy

Deploy moves code changes to Cloudflare Pages, a platform that hosts and serves web applications. A deployed feature is not merely written; it must be live and proven through the build's proof path. MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard where an AI model connects to an MCP server over a session and the server exposes tools, resources, and prompts the model can call, differs from OIP in that it uses a persistent session, whereas OIP uses plain URLs and receipts with no persistent session. This means that any model that can open a URL can act and invoke objects using OIP, without the need for a persistent session.

Latest clarity reviews (live)

Fresh models are sent this article's bundle and asked two separate questions: how clear is the machine JSON, and how clear is the English body. Scores are 0 to 10. The full history is in the append-only ledger.

How the loop self-corrects: a failing review queues a model revision of this article (a new append-only version). A missing concept named by a reviewer queues a brand-new machine-written article, which then enters the same review cycle.

system
The OIP article layer is generated from live directory rows, so it documents the objects that actually run the reference implementation.
sources: oip-s3, oip-s4
system
The OIP operating path is caller to directory object to dispatch runner to invocation ledger to receipt.
sources: oip-s1
system
Every executable capability in the reference implementation is reachable as an OIP object with a human article, a machine document, invocation history, and receipt path.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s3
system
Tap & Go is the copy primitive: one drop carries credential, protocol, tree, search, execute, and receipt instructions without a separate token-map-bundle assembly step.
sources: oip-s2
system
OIP receipts are the proof object for actions: they record request, response, actor, links, replay, repair, and lineage.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s5
