quantakrypto pqc-tools — Claude Code MCP server: setup guide
Connects 16 cryptographic audit tools to your agent. It helps discover legacy algorithms in source files and plan transitions to post-quantum standards.
claude mcp add --transport http pqc-tools https://mcp.quantakrypto.com/mcpWhat quantakrypto pqc-tools does
The server links an AI agent to the quantakrypto engine via the Model Context Protocol. It inspects source code across 14 languages to flag quantum-vulnerable algorithms like RSA or ECDSA. Analysis extends to infrastructure files. The detectors parse Terraform configurations alongside cloud KMS settings.
It exposes 16 tools to the assistant. The agent can generate cryptographic bills of materials (CBOM) and plan transitions toward FIPS 203 or FIPS 204 specifications.
Local execution through npx fails without Node.js 20 or newer. The package carries zero runtime dependencies. You can connect it via local stdio or point your agent to the hosted HTTP endpoint.
What it helps with
- detect legacy ciphers like RSA or ECDSA across 14 languages
- inspect cryptographic settings in Terraform and database manifests
- draft migration roadmaps toward post-quantum FIPS standards
- generate CBOM inventories and export findings to SARIF
Example prompts for the agent
- Scan this repository for quantum-vulnerable ciphers like RSA and ECDSA
- Check our Terraform manifests and KMS configs for legacy cryptography
- Draft a migration plan to transition our encryption to FIPS 203 standards

Questions about quantakrypto pqc-tools
How do I install quantakrypto pqc-tools in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http quantakrypto-pqc-tools https://mcp.quantakrypto.com/mcp in your terminal. This connects your agent to the hosted HTTP endpoint directly.
What tools does this MCP server provide?
It gives your agent 16 specialized tools to scan codebases, produce CBOM inventories, and map out transitions to post-quantum algorithms.
What are the runtime requirements for local execution?
Running locally via npx requires Node.js version 20 or higher. The server relies entirely on built-in Node modules and needs no external runtime dependencies.
