    "args": ["-y","scamcheck-mcp-server"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# ScamCheck MCP Server

Scan suspicious messages, URLs, and text for scams inside any AI assistant that supports MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and more). **No signup or API key needed** — works out of the box on the free anonymous tier.

## Quick start (no API key)

Add to your Claude Desktop / Cursor config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scamcheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["scamcheck-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

That's it. Ask your assistant *"is this message a scam?"* and paste the message.

## Higher limits (optional API key)

The anonymous tier is rate-limited per IP. For higher limits, grab a free key at [scamcheck.tech/dashboard/developer](https://www.scamcheck.tech/dashboard/developer) and add it:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scamcheck": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["scamcheck-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCAMCHECK_API_KEY": "sk-live-your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
