Server Everything vs Provenonce
A side-by-side look at the Server Everything and Provenonce MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Server Everything for other tools and integrations work as a local process; choose Provenonce 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 Server Everything when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Other Tools and Integrations domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: No auth required.
Choose Provenonce when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cryptography domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
PROVENONCE_API_KEY, PROVENONCE_AGENT_HASH, PROVENONCE_SKILL_REF, PROVENONCE_REGISTRY_URL. - You want tools like
provenonce_register, provenonce_status, provenonce_purchase_sigil.

Provenonce tools 11
provenonce_registerRegister this agent with Provenonce to get a cryptographic identity (hash + API key). Safe to call multiple times — returns existing identity if already registered. No wallet required. Free.provenonce_statusGet this agent's current Provenonce status: identity, SIGIL, beats balance, and next steps. Requires prior provenonce_register call.provenonce_purchase_sigilPurchase a Provenonce SIGIL to unlock full provenance: heartbeat access, signed passport, and a permanent identity record. If payment_tx is omitted, returns payment instructions (fee amount + address). SIGIL format: name*principal*tier (e.g. my-agent*acme*ind).provenonce_heartbeatSubmit a heartbeat to prove this agent is alive. Root agents (depth 0) require a SIGIL first; child agents (depth > 0) can heartbeat without a SIGIL. If payment_tx is omitted, returns payment instructions (fee amount + address).provenonce_get_passportGet this agent's cryptographically signed Passport — a verifiable identity document any third party can verify offline using the Provenonce authority public key. Root agents (depth 0) require an active SIGIL; child agents (depth > 0) only need at least one heartbeat.provenonce_beats_proofCompute a Beats work-proof — cryptographic evidence of computational effort by this agent. Computes sequential hash chains at the current network difficulty, submits to the Beats service for a signed receipt. The receipt can be used for spawn authorization and other operations.provenonce_submit_beatsCompute VDF beats and submit to the Registry to credit this agent's lifetime beat count. Unlike provenonce_beats_proof (which gets a receipt for spawn/resync), this extends the agent's persistent beat chain and increases the "Lifetime Beats" metric visible in the Registry.provenonce_verify_agentVerify another agent's Provenonce identity. Returns their SIGIL, identity class, and registration status. Public — no authentication required.provenonce_spawnSpawn a child agent under this agent's identity. The child inherits lineage from the parent. Returns the child's hash and API key. Requires sufficient beats balance or a work-proof receipt.provenonce_get_lineageGet the full lineage chain for an agent — all events in its provenance history (registration, SIGIL issuance, heartbeats, spawns). Public — no authentication required.provenonce_batch_heartbeatSubmit heartbeats for multiple child agents in a single call. One payment covers all children. Requires active sponsorships for each child. Max 20 children per batch.

Frequently asked questions
Server Everything is categorized under Other Tools and Integrations and uses a local stdio subprocess. Provenonce belongs to Cryptography and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Server Everything for other tools and integrations work and Provenonce 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.
Server Everything is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Provenonce 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 modelcontextprotocol-server-everything and provenonce as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
On AllMCPs, Server Everything has a quality signal of 55/100 (Good) with 9 views, 0 installs and 91,405 GitHub stars. Provenonce has 55/100 (Good) with 2 views, 0 installs and 0 GitHub stars.
