How do I install the aegis mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `AEGIS_USAGE_LOG_PATH` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Aegis MCP Server?

Trustless escrow for AI agent-to-agent transactions on Base L2 with ERC-8004 identity and USDC.

What the server does

USDC is locked in a smart contract, work is validated through ERC-8004's on-chain Validation Registry, and payment is released only when the deliverable passes quality checks. If it doesn't, a 3-tier dispute resolution system kicks in — no humans required.
