## Installation

```bash
pip install -e .

# Or with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Usage

### Running the Server

```bash
keystore-mcp-server
```

### Claude Desktop Configuration

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keystore": {
      "command": "keystore-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}
```

## Cryptographic Standards

### Web3 Secret Storage V3

- **KDF**: scrypt (recommended) or pbkdf2
- **Cipher**: AES-128-CTR
- **MAC**: Keccak-256
- **UUID**: Version 4

### Default Scrypt Parameters

| Parameter | Value | Description |
|-----------|-------|-------------|
| N | 262144 (2^18) | CPU/memory cost |
| r | 8 | Block size |
| p | 1 | Parallelization |
| dklen | 32 | Derived key length |

### Default PBKDF2 Parameters

| Parameter | Value | Description |
|-----------|-------|-------------|
| c | 262144 | Iterations |
| prf | hmac-sha256 | PRF |
| dklen | 32 | Derived key length |

## Security

⚠️ **Important Security Notes:**

1. **Never share keystore passwords** - Treat like private keys
2. **Use strong passwords** - Minimum 12 characters, mixed case, numbers, symbols
3. **Secure file storage** - Files created with 0600 permissions
4. **Air-gapped operations** - Use offline for high-value wallets
5. **Backup keystores** - Store encrypted backups in multiple locations

## Examples

### Encrypt a Private Key

```python
result = await encrypt_keystore(
    private_key="0x...",
    password="strong-password-123",
    kdf="scrypt"
)
```

### Decrypt a Keystore

```python
result = await decrypt_keystore(
    keystore=keystore_json,
    password="strong-password-123"
)
```

### Save Keystore File

```python
result = await save_keystore_file(
    keystore=keystore_json,
    directory="./keystores"
)
# Creates: UTC--2024-01-15T10-30-00.000Z--address.json
```

## Testing

```bash
pytest tests/ -v
```
