How do I install the aip identity 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 `AIP_PRIVATE_KEY`, `AIP_CREDENTIALS_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 AIP Identity MCP Server?

Cryptographic identity for MCP clients — Ed25519 keypairs, DID-based verification, trust scoring, encrypted messaging, and artifact signing.

What it actually does

Watch AIP create two agent identities, sign and verify a message, send an end-to-end encrypted message, and create a cryptographic trust vouch — all running locally, no server needed.
