The service offers an MCP server for integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, with packages available on PyPI.", "body_md": "# \nTamper-evident audit logs\n\nfor AI agents.\n\n Cryptographically signed, Bitcoin-anchored, and verifiable offline — even if TrustNotch is gone.\n\n## Three steps from action to proof\n\n1.   ### Signed receipt on submissionAn agent submits an action over HTTP. TrustNotch returns an Ed25519-signed receipt immediately — a cryptographic commitment to the exact content logged.\n2.   ### Merkle-batched & Bitcoin-anchoredEntries are batched into an RFC 6962 Merkle tree. Each batch root is anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps, giving every entry a tamper-evident timestamp rooted in the world's most audited ledger.\n3.   ### Verify offline, independentlyAnyone can verify any entry with the open-source [`trustnotch` verifier](/how-verification-works/) —\n              no trust in TrustNotch required.\n              The receipt, Merkle inclusion, and Bitcoin anchor are all checked\n              locally. A proof keeps verifying even if TrustNotch disappears.\n\n## Get started\n\n[Quickstart Get a key, record an entry, fetch its proof, and verify it yourself.](/docs/)\n\n[MCP Server Connect Claude Desktop and other MCP clients to TrustNotch.](/trustnotch-mcp/)\n\n[PyPI: trustnotch-mcp The MCP server package.
