What is the Bcrypt Hash Engine MCP Server?
An agent just generated a user registration flow. The password is stored in plaintext. That's not a bug — it's a security incident waiting to happen.
Bcrypt is the algorithm that Dropbox, GitHub, and every serious authentication system uses for password storage. It includes a built-in salt, is intentionally slow to resist brute-force, and this MCP provides it as pure JavaScript — no native compilation, no node-gyp headaches.
The Superpowers
- Two Tools, One MCP:
bcrypt_hashcreates the hash,bcrypt_verifychecks passwords against stored hashes. - Built-in Salt: Every hash includes a unique random salt — no manual salt management needed.
- Configurable Cost: Salt rounds 4-16. Default 10 (~100ms). 12 for financial systems. 14+ for government.
- Pure JavaScript: Uses bcryptjs — works in Edge, Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime without compilation.
Built-in capabilities (2)
Bcrypt is the industry standard for password hashing — it includes a salt and is intentionally slow to resist brute-force attacks. Salt rounds control the computational cost (10 is default, 12+ for high security). Never store plaintext passwords. Hashes a password using bcrypt with configurable salt rounds. Pure JS, no native compilation needed
Pass the password and the hash, and receive a boolean isMatch result. This is the only correct way to verify bcrypt passwords — never compare hashes directly. Verifies a password against a bcrypt hash. Returns boolean match result
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Bcrypt Hash Engine into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Bcrypt Hash Engine and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 2 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Bcrypt Hash Engine for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Bcrypt Hash Engine MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Why bcrypt instead of SHA-256 or MD5 for passwords?
SHA-256 and MD5 are fast — that's the problem. An attacker can try billions of hashes per second. Bcrypt is intentionally slow (configurable via salt rounds), making brute-force attacks economically infeasible.
What salt rounds should I use for a financial application?
12 minimum. Each additional round doubles the computation time. 10 = ~100ms, 12 = ~400ms, 14 = ~1.6s. Balance security vs. login latency for your use case.
Can I verify a password without knowing the salt?
Yes — that's the beauty of bcrypt. The salt is embedded in the hash string itself ($2a$10$...). Just pass the password and the stored hash to bcrypt_verify.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
