MCP server for AI agent identity, verification, and encrypted messaging.
AIP MCP Server
MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) access to AIP identity tools — verify agents, check trust scores, sign content, and exchange encrypted messages.
Install
pip install aip-mcp-server
Setup
First, register an AIP identity (if you don't have one):
pip install aip-identity
aip register --platform github --username your-username
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aip": {
"command": "aip-mcp-server"
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aip": {
"command": "aip-mcp-server"
}
}
}
