Aegis Protocol MCP Server

Trustless escrow middleware for AI agent-to-agent transactions. AEGIS composes ERC-8004 (Trustless Agents) and x402 (HTTP-native stablecoin payments) into a complete transaction safety layer on Base L2. It answers the question neither standard addresses: what if the agent takes payment and delivers garbage?. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Aegis Protocol

before you install - you'll need

OPENAI_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add im-sham-aegis-protocol -- npx -y @aegis-protocol/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "im-sham-aegis-protocol": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@aegis-protocol/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
