Tether Name

About

The tether-name-mcp-server provides a seamless gateway for AI agents to prove their identity using Tether, an innovative non-custodial verification service. By wrapping the `tether-name` SDK, it allows any AI agent compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to verify who they are by signing cryptographic challenges with their own RSA private keys. This eliminates custodial risk and password reliance, offering a secure and straightforward method for agents in platforms like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to authenticate themselves and obtain a publicly verifiable identity.

Key Features

• RSA challenge-response mechanism for identity proof, eliminating passwords
• Direct integration support for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code
• One-call identity verification flow (`verify_identity`)
• Non-custodial: private keys remain securely on the local machine
• 0 GitHub stars
• Granular control over verification steps (request, sign, submit)

Use Cases

• Enable verifiable agent identities for projects within Cursor IDE
• Provide secure identity proof for AI agents operating in VS Code setups
• Integrate AI agent identity verification into Claude Desktop environments
