The ContextVM World 🌍 — #1

GM people, and welcome to the first ever issue of "The ContextVM World", your biweekly appointment to discover everything you need to know about ContextVM, MCP, Nostr, and all in between!

How Data Vending Machines Are Fixing Everything Wrong with APIs

Every API you use is fundamentally flawed. Registration friction, timeout constraints, payment hell, and zero reputation transparency. Data Vending Machines solve all of this while adding capabilities APIs can't match.

Encryption and private servers - New Security and Privacy Features in DVMCP

We're excited to announce a new update to DVMCP, bringing enhanced privacy and security with encryption for transport communication and the launch of private server discovery. These features are designed to offer greater flexibility, stronger data protection, and new ways to manage access within the DVMCP ecosystem.

Release time!

We are thrilled to announce the release of the new version of DVMCP, packed with a host of new features and enhancements. The standout improvement is the support for the new specification, which brings loads of new possibilities and a future-proof design to accommodate MCP protocol as it evolves.

New spec is here

We are excited to announce the finalization of our DVMCP specification update, which integrates the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version `2025-03-26` and other improvements. This article highlights the key points of this update, and the differences between our initial vision and the final specification, providing insights into how our ideas evolved during the drafting process.

Evolving DVMCP

We have been working on a significant update to the DVMCP specification to incorporate the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version `2025-03-26`, and it's capabilities.

DVMs and The Reflection Pattern

This article explores how the reflection pattern from RPC systems can resolve challenges in the Nostr Data Vending Machine (DVM) ecosystem

DVMCP workshop

This workshop will guide you through exploring the concepts behind MCP servers and how to deploy them as DVMs in Nostr using DVMCP. By the end, you'll understand how these systems work together and be able to create your own deployments.

A brief walkthrough of what DVMs are, and how to build them

DVMDash Update: New Architecture and Stats App Launch

DVMDash is back with a completely rebuilt architecture, launching first with a new Stats app that provides flexible time-based metrics and network activity visualization for the DVM ecosystem. This update marks the first phase of a larger redesign that will soon bring back debugging tools and add a new playground for DVM interaction.

My week (6) in review - Sats 'n Facts

There's nothing like the ability of a Nostr/Bitcoin meetup to bring your bullish-ness back to a 120%. This weekend I had the honors to be part of the Sats 'n Facts (un)conference so this update will be mostly about the conference.
