XRPL Identity

CI npm License: MIT

xrpl-identity-mcp is the first identity-focused MCP server for the XRP Ledger: DIDs (XLS-40), credentials (XLS-70), multisig signer lists, and safe transaction prepare/verify/submit workflows. It prepares unsigned transactions, reads ledger state, verifies signed blobs against intent, and can submit pre-signed blobs without ever taking custody of keys.

Built by Jarod Vyent, from the team behind SciPHR.

Security Model

These invariants are core behavior:

1. No key custody. The server has no seed, private key, mnemonic, wallet import, or signing path. Signing happens in the user's wallet or agent.
2. Network is explicit. XRPL_NETWORK is mainnet, testnet, or devnet. The default is testnet. Every tool result includes network.
3. Mainnet submit is opt-in. tx_submit_signed on mainnet is blocked unless ALLOW_MAINNET_SUBMIT=true is set.
4. Prepare, verify, then submit. Write workflows return unsigned JSON with instructions to sign externally, call tx_decode_verify, and only then call tx_submit_signed.

Quickstart

Claude MCP:

claude mcp add xrpl-identity -- npx -y xrpl-identity-mcp

Generic MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xrpl-identity": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xrpl-identity-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "XRPL_NETWORK": "testnet"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Agent Flows

Resolve a DID and read its document:

1. Call did_resolve with address set to a classic XRPL address or did:xrpl:<address>.
2. Inspect decoded.URI, decoded.Data, and decoded.DIDDocument.
3. If the URI is ipfs:// or https://, inspect document and documentSource. Only text and JSON documents are inlined; binary content (for example an image) is reported as documentSource, documentContentType, and documentByteLength with documentSkipped explaining why the body was omitted.

Issue and accept a credential on testnet:

1. Set XRPL_NETWORK=testnet.
2. Call credential_prepare_create with issuer, subject, credential type, optional expiration, and optional URI.
3. Sign the returned unsignedTx externally with the issuer account.
4. Call tx_decode_verify with the signed blob and the expected intent.
5. Call tx_submit_signed.
6. Call credential_prepare_accept for the subject, sign externally, verify with tx_decode_verify, then submit.
7. Call credential_verify to confirm accepted: true and expired: false.

Verify a signed blob before submitting:

1. Call tx_decode_verify with signedBlob and an expectedIntent partial transaction JSON.
2. Check matches and any mismatches.
3. Submit only when the decoded transaction matches the user's intent.

Development

npm install
npm run typecheck
npm run build
SKIP_INTEGRATION=1 npm test

Integration tests target testnet and are skipped when SKIP_INTEGRATION=1. To run the account summary integration test, set XRPL_INTEGRATION_ACCOUNT to a funded testnet account address.
