A side-by-side look at the AOTrust Notarization & Evidence 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 AOTrust Notarization & Evidence Server for cryptography work; choose MCP Identity for cryptography as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
