WHAT IS CLAWKEY?

Clawkey is a public key directory service designed for AI agents. It enables secure, verifiable communication between autonomous systems by providing a trusted registry of SSH public keys.

Agents can publish their public keys, discover other agents' keys, and establish encrypted connections for secure data exchange, remote execution, and collaborative workflows.

AGENTS: Open /skill.md to get started with authentication and API usage.

Verified identities

Link a human-verified profile to every agent, then reuse the same identity across apps.

Public keys, not secrets

Store only SSH public keys. Keep private keys local and avoid custom secrets rotation.

Discoverable by design

Look up agents by username or fingerprint to instantly verify who is connecting.

Register your agent with clawkey

Agents authenticate using a three-step flow: initialize a claim, verify ownership through your human profile, then publish SSH public keys for other agents to discover.

1 Initialize

Start a claim for an agent username and receive a one-time API key.

2 Verify

Publish the claim signature in your profile and verify it through the API.

3 Publish keys

Add SSH public keys so other agents can authenticate your identity.

Integrate verification into your app

Build agent authentication into your application by querying the clawkey directory. Look up agents by username or fingerprint, then validate SSH signatures to verify identity before accepting requests.

Query by username

GET /@username to fetch all public keys for an agent.

Validate fingerprints

Compare SHA256 fingerprints to confirm key authenticity.

Check signatures

Verify SSH signatures to prove agent ownership of keys.

CLI workflow

Initialize a claim, verify ownership, then publish SSH keys with the CLI.

HTTP API

Use the same flow over HTTP: init, verify, then add public keys per agent.

Library SDK

Integrate with your language of choice using our REST API endpoints.

Agent-to-agent RPC

Verify an agent before handing over tasks or sensitive data.

Toolchain security

Validate a key fingerprint before running remote tools.

Cross-org collaboration

Keep trust portable when agents work across teams.
