ℹ️ Overview

The @cheqd/mcp-toolkit is a modular framework built around the Model Context Protocol (MCP) which allows AI agents to interact with the Cheqd network. MCP standardizes AI agent interactions by providing a structured way to handle identity-related workflows. This toolkit enables AI agents to securely manage decentralized identities (DIDs), verifiable credentials, and trust registries, making it an essential component for AI-driven identity systems. This repository allows developers to configure and deploy an MCP server with the available toolkits.

🌐 Remote MCP Server

For the quickest way to get started, you can connect to our hosted MCP server. Simply add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop or Cursor settings file:

• For Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

• For Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cheqd-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://remote-mcp.cheqd.io/mcp"
            ],
        }
    }
}

The remote option requires no local setup and provides immediate access to cheqd identity tools.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20 or higher
• pnpm 8 or higher
• Basic knowledge of TypeScript and MCP

📦 Packages

@cheqd/mcp-toolkit

The @cheqd/mcp-toolkit package allows you to configure and host an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server within an environment. It integrates with tools from this repository to provide a customizable infrastructure for managing identity-related operations.

Features:

• Configurable MCP server setup
• Integration with various tools from this repository

Usage Options

1. Remote Server (Easiest)

Connect to our hosted MCP server - no local setup required:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cheqd-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://remote-mcp.cheqd.io/mcp"
            ],
        }
    }
}

2. Local server via NPX

Use this to run the Cheqd MCP Server locally and pass your own environment variables.

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cheqd": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@cheqd/mcp-toolkit-server"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TOOLS": "credo,",
                ...
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Local Server via docker-compose

Use the env.example file and update the appropriate variables.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cheqd-docker-compose": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "compose",
        "-f",
        "/path/to/repo/mcp-toolkit/docker/docker-compose.yml",
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-p", 
        "3000:3000",
        "--name",
        "faber",
        "-T",
        "mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

@cheqd/mcp-toolkit-credo

The @cheqd/mcp-toolkit-credo package is one of the toolkits that integrate with @openwalletfoundation/credo-ts, allowing an AI agent to manage DIDs and verifiable credentials. It provides tools for:

• Issuing and revoking credentials
• Schema and credential definition management
• DID-based authentication
• TRAIN for trust registry verification

🌍 Environment Variables

TOOLS="credo"       # Comma separated list of Tools, as of now only 'credo'
CREDO_PORT="3000"   # Port on which the Credo agent will run
CREDO_NAME="faber"  # Name of the Credo Agent
CREDO_ENDPOINT="http://faber:3000"    # Endpoint which Credo Agent is accessible externally
CREDO_CHEQD_TESTNET_MNEMONIC="your-mnemonic-phrase"   # Your Testnet mnemonic phrase
TRAIN_ENDPOINT="https://dev-train.trust-scheme.de/tcr/v1/"    # The TRAIN endpoint for verification of trust registry 
PORT="5000"   # The Port where the Remote MCP Server will run
