Overview

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.

FAQ from Shutter Mcp

What is the current deployment status of Shutter Mcp?

This is alpha software using the Shutter Network testnet (Gnosis Chiado). It uses a demo encryption algorithm and is not suitable for production or sensitive data. The API may change without notice.

How does timelock encryption work in Shutter Mcp?

It uses threshold cryptography and decentralized keypers that collectively manage decryption keys. Keys are released only after the specified timestamp, ensuring trustless operation — no single party can decrypt messages early.

What are the main limitations of Shutter Mcp?

Current limitations include a demo encryption algorithm (not production-grade Shutter encryption), testnet-only deployment (Chiado), no data persistence guarantees, and an API that may change without notice.

How do I integrate Shutter Mcp with Claude Web?

In Claude Web settings, navigate to Integrations and click "Add custom integration." Enter the URL https://shutter-mcp-b76e270d48c5.herokuapp.com/mcp and add it. Then start a new conversation to test timelock encryption.

Can I run Shutter Mcp locally for development?

Yes. Ensure Python 3.11+ and pip are installed. Run ./scripts/deploy.sh to set up dependencies, then ./scripts/start.sh to start the server at http://localhost:5002/mcp. Docker deployment is also supported via docker-compose up -d.
