Stamp, upgrade, and verify Bitcoin timestamps via AI agents. No API keys required.
Installation
Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).

Sommaire
@otskit/mcp
OpenTimestamps MCP server - stamp, upgrade, and verify Bitcoin timestamps via AI agents.
Exposes a set of tools to any MCP-compatible agent so it can timestamp documents, monitor confirmation status, and verify proofs against the Bitcoin blockchain - all from a conversation.
This is an independent implementation of the OpenTimestamps protocol. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by the OpenTimestamps project.
Note on confirmation times: After stamping, a proof is
pendinguntil Bitcoin confirms it. Confirmations typically arrive within ~60 minutes, but can take several hours during network congestion. Useots-mcp watchorupgrade_timestampto monitor. A pending proof is not a failed proof.
Install
npm install -g @otskit/mcp
Agent setup
ots-mcp setup claude # Claude Desktop
ots-mcp setup claude-code # Claude Code CLI
ots-mcp setup codex # Codex CLI
Each command writes the MCP entry into the agent's config file, makes a .bak backup if the file already exists, and skips if ots-mcp is already configured. Restart the agent afterwards to apply the changes.

MCP tools exposed to agents
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
create_timestamp | Stamp a SHA-256 hash against 4 public OTS calendars |
upgrade_timestamp | Check if a pending stamp has been confirmed in Bitcoin |
verify_timestamp | Verify a stamp - proves hash existed before a given Bitcoin block |
verify_external_proof | Verify a whitelisted local file against its external .ots proof, without changing the local stamp store |
inspect_timestamp | Inspect a stored proof file without network calls |
list_pending | List stamps with status, retry count, and filters |
watch | Open a terminal window monitoring pending stamps and attempting due upgrades |
hash_file | Compute the SHA-256 of a local file and return it as a 64-char hex string (no network calls) |
stamp_file | Compute SHA-256 of a local file and stamp it on Bitcoin in one step |
