Content Credentials (C2PA)
c2pa-mcp is a MCP server that reads and verifies C2PA Content Credentials on images and media using the c2pa Rust SDK over stdio.
About
C2PA MCP wraps the Content Authenticity Initiative stack so developers and content-heavy products can ask an agent to read and verify Content Credentials on images and other media before distribution. The server ships as stdio mcpb binaries built on the c2pa Rust SDK, with separate builds for common macOS and Linux architectures. It sits in the ship phase as a security gate: you confirm whether assets carry expected manifests, signatures, and lineage instead of trusting filenames or EXIF alone. That matters for newsletters, marketplaces, and AI-assisted creative pipelines where mislabeled or stripped credentials create compliance and brand risk. It verifies and inspects credentials; it does not replace your signing pipeline or DAM.
- Read and verify C2PA Content Credentials from images and media via the c2pa Rust SDK
- Official MCP server schema version 0.2.0 with platform-specific mcpb release binaries
- Stdio transport bundles for aarch64/x86_64 Apple Darwin and aarch64 Linux GNU
- SHA256-pinned mcpb artifacts from GitHub releases (v0.2.2 bundle filenames in registry)
- Agent-oriented media provenance without building a custom C2PA parser

What it does
Verify Content Credentials (C2PA) on images and media inside your agent workflow before you ship user-generated or marketing assets.
Who is it for?
Best when you're in content, news, or creative SaaS and need fast agent-driven C2PA checks on assets pre-launch.
Skip if: Skip if you have no provenance requirements or workflows that only need resize/crop without authenticity metadata.
What you get
After registration, your agent can run C2PA verification on local media paths and surface credential manifests before publish.
- Agent-readable C2PA manifest and verification results for local media
- Pre-ship provenance gate integrated into creative or UGC workflows
By the numbers
- Server version 0.2.0 in schema; release bundles tagged v0.2.2 on GitHub
- Three published mcpb platform artifacts with documented SHA256 file hashes

FAQ
Who is c2pa-mcp for?
Developers and small teams who publish images or media and need Content Credentials verification inside Claude Code or similar agents.
When should I use c2pa-mcp?
Use it during ship/security review when you must confirm C2PA manifests and signatures before marketing, product, or UGC goes live.
How do I add c2pa-mcp to my agent?
Download the mcpb binary matching your OS/arch from the contentauth/c2pa-mcp GitHub release, register it as a stdio MCP server, and point tools at local media files.
