Sidearm MCP Server

@sidearmdrm/mcp

MCP server for the Sidearm API — protect media from AI training, detect AI-generated content, and search for stolen work.

This package exposes the Sidearm REST API as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools that AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.) can call directly.

Quick Start

1. Get an API key

Sign up at sdrm.io and create an API key at sdrm.io/api-keys.

2. Configure your agent

Add to your MCP configuration file:

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sdrm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sdrm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sdrm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it. Your agent can now call Sidearm tools.

Example Agent Conversations

"Protect this image from AI training"

Agent calls protect_media with the image URL, then check_job to get the protected file.

"What algorithms are available for audio?"

Agent calls list_algorithms with media_type: "audio".

"Run Nightshade and Glaze on my artwork"

Agent calls run_algorithm with algorithms: ["nightshade", "glaze"].

"Is this photo AI-generated?"

Agent calls detect_ai with the image, then check_job for results.

"Was my artwork used to train Stable Diffusion?"

Agent calls detect_membership with your media IDs and the model name.

"How do I upload files in the dashboard?"

Agent calls navigate_ui with query: "upload files" for step-by-step instructions.
