@trustbench/mcp

Native MCP server for TrustBench — a non-custodial routing and audit layer for x402 agent payments.

Adds three read-only tools to any MCP-capable host:

Tool	What it does
`get_rankings`	Scored x402 provider list by capability. No API key.
`get_receipt`	Fetch any TrustBench receipt by ID (`rcpt_…` / `rrcpt_…`). No API key.
`verify_receipt`	Confirm Ed25519 signature + on-chain status. Two modes: lookup by ID, or offline verification of a receipt JSON. No API key.

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, Grok (xAI Connectors), Kimi Code CLI, Cherry Studio, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible host.

Environment variables

Variable	Default	Description
`TRUSTBENCH_BASE_URL`	`https://trustbench.io`	Override the API base (useful for local dev).

What the tools return

get_rankings — JSON array of scored providers for the requested capability. Capabilities: search, inference, data, media, infra. Scores are derived from HEAD-probe liveness checks (3 samples from one host). See trustbench.io/methodology for the full scoring formula.

get_receipt — Full signed receipt envelope. Receipts are immutable after issuance. Phase 3 IDs start with rcpt_, Phase 4 routing receipts start with rrcpt_.

verify_receipt — Two modes (provide exactly one input):

Lookup mode (receipt_id) — fetches the receipt from trustbench.io and re-runs Ed25519 + on-chain verification. Useful when the agent only has an ID.
Offline mode (receipt_json) — verifies a full {receipt, signature} envelope an agent received from a third party against the published public key, without trusting the database. The third-party-verifier path.

Both modes return a JSON summary with signature_valid (boolean), on_chain_verified (boolean where applicable), signature_alg (ed25519), and pubkey_url. For zero-network verification with no round-trip to TrustBench, use the @trustbench/verify-receipt npm package instead.

Routing tools (v1.5)

route_quote and route_settle (the paid routing flow) require a tb_live_… API key and ship in the next release. Request access by DM'ing @TrustBench on X.

Setup

Add to your host's MCP config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, ~/.kimi/mcp.json for Kimi):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trustbench": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@trustbench/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the host app. The three tools above become available immediately — no API key, no account required.
