Aga MCP Server vs MCP Identity
A side-by-side look at the Aga MCP Server and MCP Identity MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Aga MCP Server for cryptography work as a local process; choose MCP Identity for cryptography as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Aga MCP Server when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cryptography domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
get_server_info, get_portal_state, init_chain.
Choose MCP Identity when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cryptography domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
LNBITS_INVOICE_KEY.

get_server_infoGet AGA server info, public keys, and portal state.get_portal_stateGet current portal state, loaded artifact info, and enforcement status.init_chainInitialize continuity chain with genesis event.attest_subjectAttest subject, generate sealed Policy Artifact. Auto-loads into portal.measure_integrityMeasure subject state, compare to sealed reference. Generates signed receipt for every measurement.revoke_artifactRevoke an active policy artifact mid-session. Portal terminates on next measurement. (NCCoE Phase 3b)verify_chainVerify continuity chain integrity.generate_evidence_bundleExport the canonical SEP evidence bundle: signed PERMITTED/DENIED tool-call receipts + Merkle proofs + a mandatory signed checkpoint, for offline third-party verification (verify_bundle_offline, aga-verify, or aga-receipt-spec/verify/verify-sep.mjs). Pin gateway_public_key to prove provenance.verify_bundle_offlineVerify a canonical SEP evidence bundle offline (full §6 algorithm: structural floor, receipt signatures, chain+ordering, leaf-recompute + Merkle bijection, signed checkpoint). Pass pinned_public_key to also prove provenance.request_claimRequest disclosure of a claim. Auto-substitutes if denied.list_claimsList available claims with sensitivity levels.delegate_to_subagentDerive a constrained policy artifact for a sub-agent. Scope can only diminish, never expand.

Frequently asked questions
Aga MCP Server is categorized under Cryptography and uses a local stdio subprocess. MCP Identity belongs to Cryptography and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Aga MCP Server for cryptography work and MCP Identity for cryptography.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Aga MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. MCP Identity has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add aga-mcp-server and mcp-identity as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
