Fidensa MCP server

@fidensa/mcp-server

MCP server for Fidensa -- the independent AI capability certification authority.

Gives your AI agent structured access to Fidensa certification data through the Model Context Protocol. Check trust scores, search for certified alternatives, compare capabilities side-by-side, verify signed artifacts, check file integrity, and report runtime experience -- all through MCP tool calls.

Fidensa certifies MCP servers, skills, agent rules files, hooks, sub-agents, and plugins.

Getting Started

1. Install

npm install -g @fidensa/mcp-server

2. Verify it works

Several tools work without an API key (checkcertification, searchcapabilities, verifyfile, and reportexperience). Start the server and confirm it connects to the production API:

fidensa-mcp-server

You should see:

[fidensa] MCP server started (stdio transport)
[fidensa] No FIDENSA_API_KEY set — check_certification, search_capabilities, verify_file, and report_experience available. Set FIDENSA_API_KEY for full access.

Press Ctrl+C to stop.

3. Get an API key (optional, free)

The remaining tools (getcontract, comparecapabilities, verifyartifact) require a free API key. An API key also gives reportexperience higher rate limits. Register one:

curl -X POST https://fidensa.com/v1/keys \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"display_name": "My Agent", "email": "you@example.com"}'

Or in PowerShell:

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://fidensa.com/v1/keys" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"display_name": "My Agent", "email": "you@example.com"}'

The response contains your API key (prefixed fid_). Store it securely -- it is shown only once.

4. Add to your agent

Pick your platform and add the MCP server configuration:

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fidensa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@fidensa/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FIDENSA_API_KEY": "fid_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fidensa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@fidensa/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FIDENSA_API_KEY": "fid_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / VS Code

{
  "servers": {
    "fidensa": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@fidensa/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FIDENSA_API_KEY": "fid_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Omit the FIDENSAAPIKEY line if you only need the open-tier tools.

Claude Desktop tip: Access the config file via Settings → Developer → Edit Config. After saving, fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop (right-click the system tray icon and select Quit — just closing the window isn't enough).
