## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://mcp.quantakrypto.com/mcp`

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
