> Give every AI agent its own cryptographic identity, scoped permissions, and a tamper-evident audit trail — directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
## What is Vorim AI?
Vorim AI is the identity and trust layer for autonomous AI agents. It gives each agent its own Ed25519 keypair, time-bounded scoped permissions, hash-linked audit events, and a publicly verifiable trust score — so when an agent does something, you can prove who acted, what they were allowed to do, and what happened.
The protocol underneath (VAIP) is open, MIT-licensed, and submitted to IETF as `draft-nyantakyi-vaip-agent-identity-01`.
This package is the **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that exposes 19 Vorim tools to any MCP-compatible AI client.
Works with **Claude Desktop**, **Cursor**, **VS Code**, **Google Antigravity**, and any other MCP client.
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install -g @vorim/mcp-server
```
Or run directly with npx:
```bash
VORIM_API_KEY=agid_sk_live_... npx @vorim/mcp-server
```
## Configuration
### Claude Desktop
Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vorim": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vorim/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VORIM_API_KEY": "agid_sk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
```
### Cursor
Add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vorim": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vorim/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VORIM_API_KEY": "agid_sk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
```
### VS Code
Add to your VS Code MCP settings with the same format.
### Google Antigravity
Add to the workspace config at `.agents/mcp_config.json`, or the global config at `~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vorim": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vorim/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VORIM_API_KEY": "agid_sk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
```
You can also add it from the UI: Settings → Customizations → Installed MCP Servers → Add MCP.

## Example Usage
Once configured, use natural language in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:
- *"Register an agent called invoice-processor with read and execute permissions"*
- *"Check if agent agid_acme_a1b2 has permission to execute"*
- *"Log a tool_call event for the agent: action=process_invoice, result=success"*
- *"What's the trust score for agent agid_acme_a1b2?"*
- *"Export the audit trail for the last 30 days"*
- *"Delegate my GitHub OAuth token to this agent for 24 hours"*
- *"Revoke agent agid_acme_a1b2"*
## Why Use Vorim AI
- **Cryptographic identity** — Ed25519 keypairs for every agent. Not a shared service account.
- **Fine-grained permissions** — 7 scopes with time bounds and rate limits, sub-5ms checks.
- **Tamper-evident audit trails** — SHA-256 hash-linked events, signed export bundles for compliance.
- **Public trust scoring** — anyone can verify any agent without auth (no shared secrets).
- **Open protocol** — VAIP submitted to IETF, MIT-licensed, freely implementable.
- **Compliance-ready** — EU AI Act, US Executive Order 14110, SOC 2, GDPR.
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `VORIM_API_KEY` | Yes | — | Your Vorim API key (`agid_sk_live_...`) |
| `VORIM_BASE_URL` | No | `https://api.vorim.ai` | API base URL (override for self-hosted) |

Scored across 17 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific operations in the agent identity and trust domain, such as checking permissions, delegating credentials, registering agents, or revoking access. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the correct tool without confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent 'vorim_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, such as vorim_check_permission, vorim_register_agent, and vorim_revoke_permission. This uniformity enhances readability and predictability across the entire toolset.
With 17 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing agent identity and trust, covering essential operations like registration, permission management, auditing, and verification. Each tool serves a specific and necessary function, avoiding bloat or gaps.
The toolset provides complete CRUD and lifecycle coverage for the domain, including agent registration, updates, revocation, permission management, delegation, auditing, and trust verification. There are no obvious gaps, ensuring agents can handle all core workflows effectively.
