Arkforge MCP Overview

The ark-forge/arkforge-mcp MCP server routes HTTP requests through ArkForge and returns independent cryptographic proof of each transaction. ArkForge signs the request and response bundle with Ed25519, adds an RFC 3161 timestamp, and anchors it in Sigstore Rekor. Use it when an AI agent, webhook, microservice, data provider, or automation needs an auditable record instead of making an API call directly. An API key is required, with a free allowance of 500 proofs per month.
