@cuilabs/qnsp-mcp

Official QNSP Model Context Protocol server — give Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent first-class access to a production post-quantum cryptography platform: FIPS 203 / 204 / 205 key management, a quantum-safe vault, a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM), searchable encrypted storage, and immutable audit trails — tenant-scoped and tier-gated end-to-end.

Free tier available. Get an API key at https://cloud.qnsp.cuilabs.io/signup?src=mcp — no credit card.

Why install this?

Your agent can now:

• Generate and rotate NIST-standardised PQC keys (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, Falcon).
• Store secrets in a quantum-safe vault with per-tenant envelope encryption.
• Scan your infrastructure's cryptographic posture (CBOM) and score PQC readiness.
• Query an immutable, hash-chained audit log for any tenant action.
• Run searchable symmetric-encryption (SSE-X) queries over encrypted documents.
• Report tenant tier, quota, and billing status without leaving the chat.

Every call is tenant-scoped, entitlement-enforced on the server, and billable against your QNSP plan.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

  "mcpServers": {
    "qnsp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cuilabs/qnsp-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "QNSP_API_KEY": "qnsp_pqc_api_..."

VS Code (GitHub Copilot / Continue)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or the user-level MCP config:

{
  "servers": {
    "qnsp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cuilabs/qnsp-mcp"],
      "env": { "QNSP_API_KEY": "qnsp_pqc_api_..." }
    }
  }
}

CLI (any MCP client)

npm install -g @cuilabs/qnsp-mcp
export QNSP_API_KEY="qnsp_pqc_api_..."
qnsp-mcp

Tools exposed

All tools are registered with the qnsp_ namespace prefix so they never collide with tools from other MCP servers an agent may have enabled.

| Tool | Description | Tier | |---|---|---| | qnsp_kms_generate_key | Generate a PQC keypair (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, Falcon). | Dev+ | | qnsp_kms_list_keys | List keys in the current tenant. | Dev+ | | qnsp_kms_get_key | Retrieve a key's public metadata. | Dev+ | | qnsp_kms_rotate_key | Rotate a key; previous version retained for verification. | Dev+ | | qnsp_vault_create_secret | Store a secret under PQC envelope encryption. | Pro+ | | qnsp_vault_get_secret | Retrieve a vault secret. | Pro+ | | qnsp_vault_list_secrets | List secrets in the tenant. | Pro+ | | qnsp_crypto_scan | Trigger a cryptographic discovery job (CBOM). | Dev+ | | qnsp_crypto_inventory | List recent inventory jobs and results. | Dev+ | | qnsp_crypto_readiness | PQC-readiness scorecard for the tenant. | Dev+ | | qnsp_audit_query | Query the immutable, hash-chained audit log. | Dev+ | | qnsp_search_query | Searchable symmetric-encryption (SSE-X) query. | Business+ | | qnsp_tenant_info | Show current tenant configuration. | Dev+ | | qnsp_billing_status | Show tier, limits, and upgrade URL. | Any | | qnsp_platform_health | Platform liveness and regional posture. | Any |

If your tier does not include a feature, the tool returns a clear upgrade message with a deep link to https://cloud.qnsp.cuilabs.io/billing.

Configuration

| Env var | Required | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---|---| | QNSP_API_KEY | yes | — | Tenant-scoped API key. Create one at https://cloud.qnsp.cuilabs.io/api-keys. | | QNSP_PLATFORM_URL | no | https://api.qnsp.cuilabs.io | Point at a staging or self-hosted edge gateway. |

How it works

On start, the server calls @cuilabs/qnsp-sdk-activation to resolve the API key into a tenant, tier, and feature-flag set. Every tool invocation is:

1. Gated client-side by the resolved tier (fails fast with a human-readable upgrade prompt instead of a raw 402/403).
2. Enforced server-side by the QNSP edge gateway and PDP — the client-side gate is a UX optimization, not the security boundary.
3. Audited as an immutable hash-chained event in the QNSP audit log.

No data is cached locally; every call is a round-trip to your tenant.

Security

• API keys are transmitted over TLS 1.3 (hybrid-PQC negotiation where supported) to api.qnsp.cuilabs.io and never logged.
• Tool output is JSON — the server never embeds raw secret material into natural-language responses unless the tool semantics require it.
• Report vulnerabilities to [email protected].
