Getting Started with Attestix in 5 Minutes

Attestix runs as an MCP server, which means any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) can use all 47 tools out of the box. Here is how to get started.

Step 1: Install

pip install attestix

Step 2: Configure Your MCP Client

Add Attestix to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "attestix": {
      "command": "attestix",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Create an Agent Identity

Ask your AI agent to create an identity:

"Create an agent identity for my compliance auditor agent"

The agent will call create_agent_identity and return a UAIT, DID, and Ed25519 key pair.

Step 4: Issue a Credential

"Issue a verifiable credential for this agent with type ComplianceDeclaration"

This calls issue_credential with Ed25519Signature2020 signing, producing a W3C Verifiable Credential. Note: this generates a signed declaration, not a regulatory compliance certification.

Step 5: Anchor to Blockchain

"Anchor this credential to Base L2 testnet"

This calls anchor_credential to create an Ethereum Attestation Service record on Base L2 testnet. Mainnet schema registration is planned for a future release.

That is it. Five steps, five minutes, and your AI agent now has verifiable identity and signed credentials. These are cryptographic artifacts for documentation purposes, not regulatory certifications.
