# Radicle

> Radicle is a sovereign, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git, backed by Electric Capital. Every user runs a node; repositories, issues and patches replicate across the network as cryptographically-signed Collaborative Objects (COBs). Each node can run radicle-httpd, a lightweight HTTP daemon exposing a read-oriented JSON API over the node's storage.

## APIs

- [Radicle HTTP API](https://seed.radicle.xyz/api/v1): radicle-httpd JSON API (apiVersion 6.1.0) — repos, issues, patches, commits, source trees, node info, stats. Public read; key-based session auth for writes on self-hosted nodes.

## Specs

- [OpenAPI 3.1](openapi/radicle-httpd-openapi.yml): derived from the live seed node.

- [Error catalog](errors/radicle-problem-types.yml)
- [Conventions](conventions/radicle-conventions.yml)
- [Data model](data-model/radicle-data-model.yml)
- [Conformance](conformance/radicle-conformance.yml)
- [MCP tools (candidate)](mcp/radicle-mcp.yml)
- [Agent skills](skills/_index.yml)
