# MCP Server for cryptographic hashing A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MD5 and SHA-256 hashing. This server enables LLMs to process cryptographic requests efficiently. ## Available Tools The server offers 2 tools: - `calculate_md5`: Computes the MD5 hash of a given text. - `calculate_sha256`: Computes the SHA-256 hash of a given text. The server is designed to be used with MCP clients like VS Code Copilot Chat, Claude for Desktop, and other LLM interfaces that support the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). ## Understand MCP and Build Your Own MCP Server If you are new to the concept of Model Context Protocol (MCP), then you can use these resources: - **What is MCP?** - [Understanding Model Context Protocol & Agentic AI](https://www.kunal-pathak.com/blog/model-context-protocol/) - **How can I build my own MCP Server?** - [Simple tutorial on how to build your own MCP Server](https://github.com/kanad13/MCP-Server-for-Hashing/blob/master/docs/tutorial-build-mcp-server.md) - **Where to find the `hashing-mcp-server` package?** - You can find the [Python Package on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/hashing-mcp-server/) - You can find the [Docker Image on Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/kunalpathak13/hashing-mcp-server) - You can find the source code in this [GitHub repository](https://github.com/kanad13/MCP-Server-for-Hashing) - You can find it also on MCP Server Lists like - [mcp.so](https://mcp.so/server/hashing-mcp-server/KunalPathak) - **How to install and use the `hashing-mcp-server`?** - See the sections below for installation and usage instructions. ## Server in action The gif below shows how the MCP server processes requests and returns the corresponding cryptographic hashes. I have used Claude Desktop as an example, but it works equally well with other MCP clients like VSCode.  ## Prerequisites - **To Run via Docker:** Docker installed and running. - **To …
