**Etch is a signed audit chain for AI agent decisions, offline-verifiable against pinned public keys.**

This repository is the MCP integration surface for [Etch](https://etch.systems), the hosted service. It carries only:

- The MCP registry metadata (`server.json`, `glama.json`)
- Per-client integration examples for Claude Code / Cursor / Continue / Cline / Codex
- Documentation for attaching an MCP-compliant client to Etch

The hosted Etch service source is proprietary and lives in a separate repository. Nothing in this repository is required to be inspected or modified in order to use Etch.

## Try in 30 seconds, no signup

```
curl -X POST https://etch.systems/v1/your-project
```

The response returns a bearer token, an MCP endpoint URL, and an anonymous project id. Point any MCP-compliant client at `https://etch.systems/mcp` with the token. Anonymous projects carry 500 signed events over 14 days; convert to a persistent project any time to keep the chain forever.

Full walk-through: [etch.systems/docs/quickstart](https://etch.systems/docs/quickstart).

## Per-client config

### Claude Code

`~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etch": {
      "url": "https://etch.systems/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer wm_YOUR_ANON_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor

`~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or `.cursor/mcp.json` at the project root):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etch": {
      "url": "https://etch.systems/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer wm_YOUR_ANON_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Continue

`~/.continue/config.yaml`:

```yaml
mcpServers:
  - name: etch
    url: https://etch.systems/mcp
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer wm_YOUR_ANON_TOKEN
```

### Cline (VS Code)

`~/.config/Cline/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etch": {
      "url": "https://etch.systems/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer wm_YOUR_ANON_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex CLI

`~/.codex/config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.etch]
url = "https://etch.systems/mcp"
headers = { Authorization = "Bearer wm_YOUR_ANON_TOKEN" }
```

Per-client documentation with current config file locations is kept up-to-date at [etch.systems/docs/mcp-clients](https://etch.systems/docs/mcp-clients).

## Verify

Every event Etch signs is verifiable offline against pinned public keys with the OSS reference verifier. Auditors pin fingerprints once at pilot onboarding; every past epoch is verifiable indefinitely without contacting Etch.

- Reference verifier posture and benchmark numbers: [etch.systems](https://etch.systems)
- Framework mapping (SR 11-7, EU AI Act Article 12, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF): [etch.systems/aarm](https://etch.systems/aarm)
- FAQ: [etch.systems/docs/faq](https://etch.systems/docs/faq)

## What Etch is NOT

- Not a media-provenance envelope (that lane is C2PA and SPIF). Etch signs decisions, not content. Comparison: [etch.systems/vs/c2pa](https://etch.systems/vs/c2pa).
- Not a transparency log (that lane is Sigstore Rekor). Etch is a per-project chain that anchors epochs on Rekor. Comparison: [etch.systems/vs/sigstore-rekor](https://etch.systems/vs/sigstore-rekor).
- Not a watermarking system. Etch records who reviewed an output and what they applied, not whether a specific model touched the text.

## Registry listings

Etch is listed on:

- [Official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.SaravananJaichandar/etch`
- [Glama.ai MCP servers](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers) (auto-indexed from `glama.json` in this repo)
- [mcpservers.org](https://mcpservers.org/servers/saravananjaichandar/etch-mcp)
- [punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers) under Knowledge & Memory

- [ottosulin/awesome-ai-security](https://github.com/ottosulin/awesome-ai-security) under MCP Security

PulseMCP auto-indexes from the Official MCP Registry when their intake resumes; no separate submission needed.
