What is Shutter Mcp?
Shutter Mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides timelock encryption capabilities using the Shutter Network. It allows users to encrypt messages that can only be decrypted after a specified future time, enabling trustless time-delayed communications.
How to use Shutter Mcp?
Integrate with Claude Web by adding the custom integration URL https://shutter-mcp-b76e270d48c5.herokuapp.com/mcp in Claude settings. For VS Code, install the MCP extension and configure the server with the same URL in VS Code settings. Alternatively, run locally with Python 3.11+ using the provided deployment scripts (./scripts/deploy.sh and ./scripts/start.sh). Tools available include timelock_encrypt, check_decryption_status, decrypt_timelock_message, get_unix_timestamp, and explain_timelock_encryption.
