~Alter Identity — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
~Alter Identity connects an AI agent to the ~Alter protocol. Its handle can associate the agent’s actions with an identity record.
claude mcp add --transport http identity https://mcp.truealter.com/api/v1/mcpWhat ~Alter Identity does
~Alter Identity connects Claude Code and other supported environments to the ~Alter protocol over MCP. In that protocol, a handle such as ~yourname points to a record of activity; agents acting under the handle are associated with it. Anyone can check whether a handle exists for free.
The CLI’s registration flow uses alter register and asks the user to confirm they are eighteen or older. The project also describes reviewing queries and controlling access to the record. Those are CLI and protocol features; the available MCP tools aren’t listed in the description. Claude Code connects to the remote HTTP endpoint, so the MCP setup command itself doesn’t require installing the CLI locally.
What it helps with
- connect Claude Code to the ~Alter protocol
- associate an agent’s actions with a
~yournamehandle - check whether a handle exists
- review who queried an identity record
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me connect to ~Alter and explain how to create a handle.
- Check whether the handle
~yournameexists. - Explain how to associate my agent’s actions with my ~Alter identity.
