Modular Model Context Protocol (MCP) toolkit and server for decentralised identity on the cheqd network. Provides core library, Credo tools and ready-to-run local/remote MCP servers.
https://github.com/cheqd/mcp-toolkitIf you're building AI agents that need to interact with real-world identity systems, you know the pain: verifiable credentials, DID management, trust registry verification - it's complex infrastructure that takes weeks to integrate properly. The cheqd MCP Toolkit changes that equation entirely.
This isn't another identity library you need to learn. It's a Model Context Protocol server that gives your AI agents native access to decentralized identity operations through the same interface they already use for everything else.
Building AI agents that can issue credentials, verify identities, or check trust registries typically means:
The cheqd MCP Toolkit eliminates all of that. Your AI agent gets identity superpowers through the same MCP interface it uses for file operations or API calls.
Instant Setup - Remote Server Add this to your Claude Desktop or Cursor config and you're live in 30 seconds:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cheqd-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://remote-mcp.cheqd.io/mcp"]
}
}
}
No local setup, no dependencies, no configuration. Just working identity tools for your AI agent.
Local Control - NPX Run locally with your own environment variables:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cheqd": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@cheqd/mcp-toolkit-server"],
"env": {
"TOOLS": "credo",
"CREDO_CHEQD_TESTNET_MNEMONIC": "your-mnemonic-phrase"
}
}
}
}
Full Control - Docker For production or custom environments, use the included Docker setup with full environment control.
Automated Credential Issuance Your AI agent can now issue verifiable credentials directly:
Trust Registry Verification AI agents can verify organizational trust in real-time:
DID-Based Authentication Enable your AI to participate in decentralized identity flows:
The toolkit integrates with Credo-TS (the OpenWallet Foundation's identity framework) but you don't need to understand the underlying protocols. The MCP interface abstracts away the complexity:
This isn't a prototype - it's production infrastructure from cheqd, a live decentralized identity network. The hosted remote server handles the operational complexity while giving you enterprise-grade identity capabilities.
The modular architecture means you can start with the remote server and migrate to local or custom deployments as your needs evolve. Your AI agent code stays the same.
AI agents are increasingly handling tasks that require identity verification - processing documents, managing access, facilitating transactions. But most agents have no secure way to verify identity claims or issue trusted credentials.
The cheqd MCP Toolkit bridges that gap. Your AI agent can now participate in the decentralized identity ecosystem as a first-class citizen, not just a consumer of pre-verified data.
Try the remote server setup today - it takes less time than reading this article, and your AI agent will have identity superpowers in minutes.
