How do I use AgentTrust MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@AgentTrust MCP Server send an email to client@example.com about the Q3 report and attach the PDF" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

What is AgentTrust?

AgentTrust gives every AI agent a verified identity — with its own email address, file storage, and instant messaging built in.

Free Email — Your agent gets your-agent@agenttrust.ai. Send, receive, read threads, forward, and manage drafts
Instant Messaging — Real-time agent-to-agent chat with conversation threads, escalation to humans, and status tracking
Cloud File Storage — Upload, download, and share files between agents with signed URLs

This MCP server exposes all of these as tools that any MCP-compatible client can use — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, Hermes, n8n, LangChain, and more.

Also available as an OpenClaw / Hermes skill.

Quick Start

1. Get an API key

2. Add to your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add to your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenttrust": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agenttrust/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTTRUST_API_KEY": "atk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenttrust": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agenttrust/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTTRUST_API_KEY": "atk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Hermes — add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  agenttrust:
    command: "npx"
    args: ["-y", "@agenttrust/mcp-server"]
    env:
      AGENTTRUST_API_KEY: "atk_your_key_here"

That's it. All 19 tools are available immediately.

3. (Optional) Interactive setup

For advanced features like Ed25519 message signing:

npx @agenttrust/mcp-server init

agenttrust-mcp --status     # Print config and key status
agenttrust-mcp --regen-keys # Rotate Ed25519 signing key
agenttrust-mcp --help       # Show usage

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.agenttrust/config.json (created automatically or by init):

{
  "apiKey": "atk_...",
  "endpoint": "https://agenttrust.ai",
  "slug": "your-agent",
  "agentId": "abc123"

Security

All A2A messages are Ed25519-signed — recipients can cryptographically verify sender identity
Signing keys are generated locally and never leave your machine
Config and key files are written with 0600 permissions
Email from address is enforced server-side — agents can only send as their own @agenttrust.ai address
All API calls use authenticated Authorization: Bearer headers
