Common questions
Is Lithtrix safe?
It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: LITHTRIX_API_KEY, LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_MASTER_SEED, LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 5 months ago, and the latest version (0.20.8) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

lithtrix-mcp
MCP server for Lithtrix — the identity, memory, and trust harness for AI agents. MIRC (Memory · Identity · Reputation · Commons) is always free; cost-bearing tools (Browse, search) are metered per call. Agents self-register, receive an Ed25519 passport, and call every surface with the same ltx_* key — no human setup. Ships `lithtrix.claude.md` for Claude / Cursor project context (same repo path as this package).
Aligned with API discovery `version` `4.4.0` (GET https://api.lithtrix.ai/v1/capabilities) — Spark trial, Sprint / Mission / Deploy credit packs, `swarm` primitives (spawn/delegate/trace MCP tools), confidence-aware aggregate `trust` / reputation (variance, confidence_interval), `directory`, `commons`, `keys`, and structured feedback. Package version `0.20.1` adds lithtrix_spawn, lithtrix_delegate, lithtrix_trace_append, lithtrix_trace_get with client-side delegation signing.
MCP tool JSON: canonical **GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/v1/lithtrix-*.json. Legacy GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/lithtrix-*.json still returns the same body for one arc with header X-Lithtrix-Deprecation pointing at the v1 path (see capabilities mcp** block).
1. Installation
npx -y lithtrix-mcp
Or for global install:
npm install -g lithtrix-mcp
2. Claude Desktop Configuration
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": { "lithtrix": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "lithtrix-mcp"], "env": { "LITHTRIX_API_KEY": "ltx_your_key_here" } } } }
3. Getting an API Key
Use the lithtrix_register tool first — no API key needed. Or call the API directly:
curl -X POST https://lithtrix.ai/v1/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"agent_name": "my-agent", "owner_identifier": "you@example.com", "agree_to_terms": true}'
Optional: include "referral_agent": " " — the same UUID that agent shows as referral_code on GET /v1/me (stored for signup attribution; trial search is credit-gated, not a +call bonus). New agents get $5 in trial credits (no card).
The returned api_key is shown once. Store it securely.

Swarm env (delegate signing): LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_MASTER_SEED or LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY (client-side only; never sent to API except public key at register). (no auth, canonical v1 paths): GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/v1/lithtrix-browse.json, GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/v1/lithtrix-commons-read.json, GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/v1/lithtrix-blob-upload.json (and -download, -list, -meta, -delete, -signed-url, lithtrix-blob-parse.json, lithtrix-blob-parse-status.json, lithtrix-blob-search.json, passport and trust tools). Legacy /mcp/lithtrix-*.json URLs alias v1 with a deprecation header until after Arc 24.
5. Credential Vault Compatibility
The API key is read exclusively from process.env.LITHTRIX_API_KEY. It is never hardcoded. Pass it via:
- Your platform's credential store (e.g. Claude's managed credential vault)
- Environment variable in your MCP host configuration
- Secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, 1Password, etc.)
Never paste your API key into the tool definition or source code.
6. Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
LITHTRIX_API_KEY | Yes (for search) | — | Your ltx_ API key |
LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_MASTER_SEED | For delegate | — | UTF-8 seed for lithtrix_passport_derive / delegate signing |
LITHTRIX_PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY | For delegate | — | PKCS#8 PEM Ed25519 private key (alternative to seed) |
LITHTRIX_API_URL | No | https://api.lithtrix.ai | Override for staging/dev |
