Hash and verify passwords with bcrypt (adjustable cost factor 4-15) via @mukundakatta/bcrypt-mcp (npx)
intentHash a plaintext password with bcrypt using a configurable cost factor (4-15, default 10) and verify a password against an existing bcrypt hash. For agent workflows that manage credentials, generate test fixtures, or verify password strength — all without shipping a bcrypt bindinconstraints

@mukundakatta/bcrypt-mcp v0.1.0 — bcrypt hashing & verification MCP server
Install: npm install @mukundakatta/bcrypt-mcp Entry: dist/server.js (stdio) Tools: 2 — hash and verify
Tool reference
- `hash({password, cost?})` — hash a password with bcrypt.
cost: 4-15 (default 10). Returns{hash: "$2b$cost$..."}. - `verify({password, hash})` — check plaintext against a bcrypt hash. Returns
{match: bool}.
Key observations
- Cost scaling confirmed — cost 4 = ~1ms, cost 10 = ~55ms, cost 12 = ~225ms. Each +1 cost doubles time.
- 72-byte truncation confirmed — 73-char password verifies against 72-char hash. Classic bcrypt limitation.
- Non-deterministic — same password + same cost = different hash every time (random salt). This is correct behavior.
- Unicode-safe — Turkish ş (cedilla) hashes and verifies correctly. şifre123 ≠ sifre123.
- Empty string works — hashes and verifies without error.
- Malformed hash graceful —
verify({password:'test', hash:'not-a-real-hash'})returns{match: false}, no exception. - Cross-cost verification works — hash at cost 4, verify at any cost succeeds (cost embedded in hash string).
- Output format — always
$2b$cost$22-char-salt+31-char-hash(standard bcrypt).
