A pure-Python [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server,
built on the official MCP SDK (FastMCP), exposing a toolbox of byte-wrangling
utilities — encoding, hashing, number crunching, and Ethereum primitives — all
computed locally and for real, with no network calls or remote APIs.

Distribution name: `mcp-bytesmith` · import package: `mcp_bytesmith`.

## Tools

mcp-bytesmith ships an always-on **core toolset** built entirely on the Python
standard library, so it works out of the box with no extra dependencies. This
covers the everyday primitives: `encode` and `decode` move data between a wide
set of schemes (hex, the Base64/Base32 family, Base58/Base58check, Base45, and
more), `hash` computes cryptographic, CRC, and fast non-cryptographic digests,
`hash_file` checksums a file on disk and soft-verifies it against an expected
digest, `hmac` compu…
