# Shutter Network

> Use this tool when you need to securely schedule the release of sensitive information at a future date, such as sealed bid auctions or scheduled announcements. The Shutter Network enables AI assistants to encrypt messages with decentralized timelock encryption, allowing decryption only after a specified time. It accepts natural language time inputs, Unix timestamps, or absolute dates, and outputs encrypted messages with trustless time-delayed decryption guarantees.

## Description

Shutter Timelock Encryption MCP server that enables AI assistants to encrypt messages using the Shutter Network's decentralized timelock encryption system, where messages can only be decrypted after a specified future time. Built with FastAPI and integrating with the Shutter Network's Chiado testnet API, it supports natural language time parsing ("3 months from now"), Unix timestamps, and absolute dates for scheduling message reveals. The implementation uses threshold cryptography through Shutter's decentralized keypers to provide trustless time-delayed communications, making it useful for sealed bid auctions, scheduled announcements, dead man's switches, contest reveals, and future-dated messages where cryptographic guarantees prevent early decryption.
