About WebCrypt MCP Server
WebCrypt is a cryptography library and MCP server for JavaScript projects and AI agents. It provides local encryption, key management, hashing, signatures, and post-quantum operations through the Web Crypto API without runtime dependencies.
Key features
- 01AES-256-GCM and RSA-4096 encryption
- 02JWK keypair and password generation
- 03SHA-256, SHA-512, and SHA-3 hashing
- 04ECDSA and HMAC signing and verification
- 05Kyber and Dilithium operations
Use cases
- 01Encrypt secrets before saving them locally
- 02Sign and verify release evidence or code diffs
- 03Exchange keys for private agent messaging
MCP support
Exposes six MCP tools for encryption, decryption, key management, hashing, signatures, and post-quantum cryptography.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEWebCrypt v1.0.1
Zero-dependency Web Crypto & native AI Agent Tooling (MCP) for modern JavaScript.
AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption, RSA-4096 hybrid public keys, ECDH key agreement, ECDSA/HMAC digital signatures, and Post-Quantum KEM (Kyber/Dilithium) — zero runtime dependencies, pure Web Crypto API.
⚡ Quickstart (15 Seconds)
1. Installation
# 📦 Install as project library (Node.js, TypeScript, Browser)
npm install webcrypt
# 🌐 Install globally (CLI utilities & global MCP tools)
npm install -g webcrypt
import { WebCrypt, WebCryptAsym } from "webcrypt";
// 🔒 Symmetric AES-256-GCM (600k PBKDF2 iterations)
const wc = new WebCrypt();
const encrypted = await wc.encryptText("Secret payload", "password");
const decrypted = await wc.decryptText(encrypted, "password");
// 🔑 Asymmetric RSA-4096 Hybrid Encryption
const wca = new WebCryptAsym();
const keyPair = await wca.generateKeyPair(4096);
const cipher = await wca.encryptText("Secret payload", keyPair.publicKey);
const plain = await wca.decryptText(cipher, keyPair.privateKey);
2. Auto-Setup for AI Agents & IDEs (MCP Server)
# Initialize MCP server, agent skills, and rules across your project
npx webcrypt init # or `webcrypt init` if installed globally
Supports Google Antigravity, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code / Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and Zed.
🤖 Why AI Agents Need WebCrypt MCP
Equip autonomous coding agents with an authenticated cryptographic vault directly in their toolbelt:
- 🔐 Confidential Local Vaulting (
encrypt_payload): Encrypt API keys and state memory before writing to disk to prevent prompt log leaks. - 🛡️ Tamper-Proof Provenance (
sign_verify): Cryptographically sign test evidence packs, release binaries, and code diffs with ECDSA or HMAC. - 🤝 Inter-Agent Key Exchange (
manage_keys): Ephemeral JWK keypairs (RSA-4096, ECDH P-256/P-384) for private agent-to-agent messaging. - ⚛️ Post-Quantum Guardrails (
pqc_kem_sign): Built-in Kyber KEM and Dilithium signatures future-proof long-term agent artifacts. - ⚡ Zero Dependencies: 100% native
crypto.subtleexecution across Node.js 18+, Bun, browsers, and Edge runtimes.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
