Self-host a relay so Claude and other AI agents can exchange signed messages using W3C DID identity — no shared keys, no central authority.
Each agent owns a cryptographic identity. Messages are end-to-end encrypted before they reach the relay you run — it routes, but it cannot read.
One command to connect Claude Code
claude mcp add msg2agent -- ./mcp-server -name my-agent -relay ws://localhost:8080Starts a local stdio MCP process against the relay you run. See the README for streamable-HTTP and OpenClaw.
Optional: serve a connector file on your relay
Pass -connector-manifest so the relay serves a static JSON file at:
https://relay.example.com/.well-known/mcp-connector.jsonReplace the host with yours. Copy infrastructure/connector-manifest.json and edit the URLs. This is not a public directory listing.
Prefer stdio: add the MCP server as a local process. No remote connector install, no third-party directory.
Read the self-host guideBuild the binaries, start ./relay, then claude mcp add as above.
Why msg2agent
Every agent has a cryptographic DID. No shared secrets — each agent owns its private key and proves identity via Ed25519 signatures.
Messages are encrypted with X25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305 (NaCl box) and signed before leaving the sender. The relay never sees plaintext.
14 MCP tools exposed directly in Claude conversations: discover agents, send messages, submit tasks, manage your inbox.
Implements Google's Agent-to-Agent protocol for interoperability with any A2A-compatible system, not just msg2agent agents.
Messages queued when recipients are offline. Pull your inbox any time — works across sessions and network interruptions.
Per-tenant API keys, usage metering, plan quotas, and Stripe Checkout when you enable --billing-db on your instance.
