Otskit Mcp — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Otskit Mcp (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

OpenTimestamps MCP server - stamp, upgrade, and verify Bitcoin timestamps via AI agents.
Exposes a set of tools to any MCP-compatible agent so it can timestamp documents, monitor confirmation status, and verify proofs against the Bitcoin blockchain - all from a conversation.

Note on confirmation times: After stamping, a proof ispendinguntil Bitcoin confirms it. Confirmations typically arrive within ~60 minutes, but can take several hours during network congestion. Useots-mcp watchorupgrade_timestampto monitor. A pending proof is not a failed proof.
npm install -g @otskit/mcpots-mcp setup claude # Claude Desktop
ots-mcp setup claude-code # Claude Code CLI
ots-mcp setup codex # Codex CLIEach command writes the MCP entry into the agent's config file, makes a .bak backup if the file already exists, and skips if ots-mcp is already configured. Restart the agent afterwards to apply the changes.
