Common questions

Is CipherHUB Cryptography Toolkit safe?

It passed 2 of 4 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 days ago, and the latest version (1.9.4) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

CipherHUB MCP Server

Production-grade cryptography toolkit exposing 55 cryptographic operations via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Built and operated by Yang X. CHEN — the engineering decisions behind this service are written up on the blog at cipherhub.cloud.

Overview

CipherHUB enables AI agents to perform cryptographic operations without implementing algorithms themselves. It covers:

  • Classical Algorithms: AES (CBC/GCM/CTR/XTS), ChaCha20-Poly1305, RSA, ECC (SECP256R1/384R1/521R1, X25519, Ed25519), SHA-2 family, SHAKE
  • Chinese National Standards (国密): SM2, SM3, SM4, ZUC-128, SM9 identity-based cryptography (GM/T 0044)
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography: ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), X25519+ML-KEM-768 Hybrid KEX
  • Certificates & Structured Crypto Messages: X.509 parsing and verification, CMS SignedData and EnvelopedData (RFC 5652), COSE_Sign1 (RFC 9052), CBOR (RFC 8949), ASN.1/DER dissection
  • Interoperability, verified against three independent stacks: AWS KMS (70/70), Tencent Cloud KMS (39/39), OpenSSL 3.6 (148/154 — 6 skipped, 0 failed)

Quick Start

MCP Endpoint
https://tools.cipherhub.cloud/cipherhub/mcp
Protocol
  • Type: Streamable HTTP (MCP protocol revision 2025-03-26)
  • Format: JSON-RPC 2.0
  • Stateless: No session, no handshake, no API key — every request is a standalone POST
  • Deployed version: 1.11.0
Example: Call a Tool
curl -X POST https://tools.cipherhub.cloud/cipherhub/mcp \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "hash_sum", "arguments": { "plain_in_hex": "48656c6c6f", "required_hash_modes": ["Sha384"] } }, "id": 1 }'

The tool payload is a JSON string inside result.content[0].text:

{

"code": "success", "Results": { "Sha384": { "hash_sum_in_hex": "3519fe5ad2c596efe3e276a6f351b8fc0b03db861782490d45f7598ebd0ab5fd5520ed102f38c4a5ec834e98668035fc", "hash_length": 48 } } }

Note the conventions: binary input and output travel as hex strings (*_in_hex fields), and algorithm names use TitleCase enum values (Sha384, Sm3) — SHA-384 is rejected by the schema.

More runnable examples: examples/curl_examples.sh and examples/quickstart.py (Python stdlib only).
