How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to connect, but we couldn't read the tool list to see what that exposes. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema blocked by authentication: the endpoint requires auth we don't have to read it. See how to fix → Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0

Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm. Claim this server and supply a read-only token to verify it and lift the score.
How do I install the Knox Anchor MCP server?
Knox Anchor is a hosted endpoint at https://bonissystems.com/api/knox/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
anchor_event ~145
Anchor a generic agent action to the Knox chain. Accepts any event_type from the canonical taxonomy plus a payload object. Returns the anchor sequence, payload hash, predecessor hash, timestamp, and verify URL. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected. Provision a key by contacting Bonis Systems.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| event_type | string | yes | Canonical event type (call list_event_types to enumerate). Free-form strings are accepted but not federal-citation-grade. |
| payload | object | yes | JSON-serializable payload describing the agent action. Hashed verbatim into the chain; do not include secrets — the payload is recoverable on verify. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
anchor_file_hash ~155
Anchor a SHA-256 file digest to Knox and return an affidavit architected for FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication. The file itself is not transmitted — the caller computes the hash and only the digest + filename + size + MIME type are anchored. Admissibility in any matter remains a determination of the presiding court. Requires a Knox Bearer API key on the Authorization header — unauthenticated calls are rejected.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | string | – | Original filename (max 256 chars). |
| hash | string | yes | SHA-256 file digest (64 lowercase hex chars). |
| mime_type | string | – | MIME type (max 128 chars). |
| size_bytes | integer | – | File size in bytes. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
anchor_mcp_tool_call ~185
Convenience anchor for the AAM Model Context Protocol theater. Records an `agent_mcp_tool_call` event with structured tool-call metadata (server URL, tool name, argument digest, agent identity, response digest). Use this to make an MCP-using agent's actions independently auditable.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_identity | string | yes | Stable identifier for the calling agent (e.g., agent ID, principal, did:knox:agent-X). |
| arguments_digest | string | yes | Caller-computed SHA-256 of the JSON-stringified arguments (64 hex chars). |
| outcome | string | yes | Outcome of the tool call. |
| response_digest | string | – | Caller-computed SHA-256 of the JSON-stringified response (64 hex chars). |
| server_url | string | yes | MCP server endpoint the agent invoked. |
| tool_name | string | yes | Name of the tool invoked. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_chain_health ~64
Return Knox service health: process uptime, database latency, total anchors written, latest anchor timestamp, and the Bitcoin anchor SLA target (OpenTimestamps interval, 1-6 hour confirmation window). Mirrors the public /api/knox/health endpoint under the MCP envelope.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_descriptor ~44
Return the Knox MCP server self-description: operator, USPTO patent reference, jurisdiction, available tools, and links to the public AAM (Agent Audit and Management) documentation surface.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_event_types ~42
Return the canonical Knox event-type taxonomy. Each event type is a citation token for federal-grade audit; the registry expands monotonically and is itself anchored on every expansion.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_anchor ~69
Given a SHA-256 anchor hash (64 hex chars), return the anchor record, chain link validity (predecessor present and matched), event type, sequence number, and verify URL. Public — no authentication required.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| hash | string | yes | SHA-256 anchor hash (64 lowercase hex chars). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the Knox Anchor MCP server?
Knox Anchor is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.bonissystems/knox-anchor. Bitcoin-anchored, tamper-evident audit-permanence layer for AI agents, FRE 902(13)/(14)-shaped. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://bonissystems.com/api/knox/mcp).
Is the Knox Anchor MCP server safe to use?
Knox Anchor scores 35 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Knox Anchor MCP server expose?
Knox Anchor exposes 7 tools: get_descriptor, get_chain_health, list_event_types, verify_anchor, anchor_event, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 704 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Knox Anchor MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Knox Anchor without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Knox Anchor MCP server still maintained?
Knox Anchor is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
