~alter CLI MCP server
by true-alter · official
Claim a personal name handle, control who can read your record, and get paid when someone looks you up.
This is the official helper for ~alter, a service where you claim a name like ~yourname and build a record of what you have actually done. Once connected, your AI can register a handle for you, show who has looked you up, and manage what others are allowed to see. It is handy for freelancers, creators, and anyone who wants a simple, paid identity online.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. Here it connects your AI to ~alter, so the AI can look things up or do things there for you when you ask. You do not need to understand how it works, just that it lets your AI act on your ~alter account.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI to do something with your ~alter handle, like register a name or check your earnings. The AI uses this helper to talk to the ~alter service. The helper sends your request and gets back the answer, like a list of who read your record or a confirmation that your name is now live. Then the AI tells you the result in plain words. You never have to type commands yourself.
