Dev ships obsideo-mcp, an MCP encrypted storage server agents can verify with signed possession proofs

The developer behind storage network Obsideo released obsideo-mcp, an MCP server for encrypted object storage built so agents don't have to blindly trust the storage layer.
- Client-side encryption by default: files are encrypted before upload; the key never leaves the machine.
- Locally verifiable recovery proofs: the verify tool challenges each storage provider directly; providers sign their proofs and the client checks them against commitments recorded at upload time — without downloading the object or trusting the coordinator's claims. A sample run shows 3 of 3 providers (including a third-party-operated node) proved and signed.
- 12 tools total (put/get/ls/rm/verify/usage plus account and plan management). The first put can auto-create a no-email trial (100 MB, 1 week); adding an email upgrades to a 12 GB free tier, no card, no expiry.
- S3-compatible underneath; installs via npx in most MCP clients, with a one-click .mcpb for Claude Desktop. The author is upfront that it's a small network live since May with no SLA — treat it as an extra encrypted copy, not the only one.
He's asking for feedback on whether recoverability proofs should be first-class tools for agents, and whether agents want raw object-store interfaces or higher-level tools like archiveproject and verifyrecovery.
