Copyright deposit API — protect code, text, and websites with Berne Convention proof
Copyright deposit API — protect code, text, and websites with Berne Convention proof. That is what the copyright01 mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Copyright01.com creates legally binding, timestamped proof of authorship under the Berne Convention (recognized in 181 countries). Use this MCP server to protect original code, text, websites, social media content, and GitHub repositories directly from any AI agent.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:
create_deposit — Create a timestamped copyright deposit with legal proof of authorshiplist_deposits — List all deposits with optional filters by type and statusget_deposit — Get deposit details including certificate and verification URLverify_hash — Verify a SHA-256 hash against registered depositsverify_certificate — Verify a certificate by its code (public, no auth required)get_profile — Check plan, credits remaining, and storage usageConfiguration is passed through the environment: YOUR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Copyright01's toolset — create_deposit, list_deposits, get_deposit and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Whitemarmot; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
