DJZS Trust MCP vs Shodan
A side-by-side look at the DJZS Trust MCP and Shodan MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose DJZS Trust MCP for security work over a hosted endpoint; choose Shodan for security as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose DJZS Trust MCP when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Security domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You want tools like
query_pol_certificates, query_agent_trust, verify_pm_trade.
Choose Shodan when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Security domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
SHODAN_API_KEY. - You want tools like
ip_lookup, shodan_search, cve_lookup.

Tools & capabilities
DJZS Trust MCP tools 4
query_pol_certificatesQuery immutable ProofOfLogic certificates stored on Irys Datachain by DJZS Protocol. USE THIS TOOL when you need to verify audit history for an agent or project before delegating work, check FAIL verdicts, or retrieve certificates by Irys tx ID. DO NOT use for on-chain trust scores — use query_agent_trust for those.query_agent_trustQuery an agent's DJZS trust score, aggregated on-chain (Base mainnet) from its audit history and indexed via the DJZS subgraph. USE BEFORE delegating work, releasing escrow, or executing agent transactions. Returns scored_audits, pass/fail counts, the raw fail rate, and a Wilson 95% lower bound on it, plus latest verdict/risk and DJZS-S01/DJZS-X01 flag counts. WAIT verdicts are abstentions: they are excluded from BOTH the numerator and the denominator of the fail rate and are reported separately as wait_count. Below 10 scored audits the tool returns INSUFFICIENT_HISTORY and NO rate - a 0-of-0 record is not evidence of reliability and must not compare as better than a 3-of-50. This tool returns evidence, not a decision: it applies no threshold and emits no HALT. Interpreting the bound against your own risk tolerance is the caller's job.verify_pm_tradeDeterministic pre-execution audit of a prediction-market trade thesis, run before capital is committed. USE THIS TOOL before opening, sizing, or increasing any prediction-market position, and whenever a user or an upstream agent asks whether a thesis is sound, carries a falsification condition, or has a sourced probability basis. Audits against the calibrated DJZS-M taxonomy (M01 narrative/resolution gap, M02 falsification absent, M03 probability unsourced, M04 consensus-as-edge advisory) and returns PASS->PROCEED, WAIT->HALT, or FAIL with the flagged defects and a reproducible verdict_hash. DO NOT use to retrieve past verdicts or certificates - use query_pol_certificates for those. DO NOT use for an agent's historical trust score - use query_agent_trust for that. DO NOT use for spot, perpetuals, or equities: out-of-scope submissions are refused WITHOUT CHARGE. Audit before act. Paid tool: 2 USDC per audit via x402 on Base.verify_perp_tradeDeterministic pre-execution audit of a perpetual or spot TRADE thesis (direction, size, leverage, entry, stop, target, venue, and the REASON), run before capital is committed. USE THIS TOOL before opening, sizing, or increasing any perpetual or spot position. Returns PASS / WAIT / FAIL with a reproducible verdict hash. A position stated with no thesis FAILS (DJZS-S01); an unbounded position FAILS (DJZS-X01); an unresolvable stop or thesis WAITs. Prediction-market bets are refused here (use verify_pm_trade) and are not charged. Price 2.00 USDC per audit on Base.
Shodan tools 11
ip_lookupRetrieve comprehensive information about an IP address, including geolocation, operating system, open ports, running services (product, version, CPE), known vulnerabilities (CVEs), SSL certificates, hostnames, and cloud provider details if available. Returns service banners and HTTP server information when present. Optional history returns historical banners; minify omits banners.shodan_searchSearch Shodan's database of internet-connected devices. Returns detailed information about matching devices including services, vulnerabilities, and geographic distribution. Supports advanced search filters and returns facet statistics (default: by country). Costs 1 query credit when the query uses filters, plus 1 per page beyond the first. Use shodan_count (free) to get totals and facets without results.cve_lookupQuery detailed vulnerability information from Shodan's CVEDB. Returns comprehensive CVE details including CVSS scores (v4/v3/v2), EPSS probability and ranking, KEV status, proposed mitigations, ransomware associations, and affected products (CPEs).dns_lookupResolve domain names to IP addresses using Shodan's DNS service. Supports batch resolution of multiple hostnames in a single query. Returns IP addresses mapped to their corresponding hostnames.reverse_dns_lookupPerform reverse DNS lookups to find hostnames associated with IP addresses. Supports batch lookups of multiple IP addresses in a single query. Returns all known hostnames for each IP address, with clear indication when no hostnames are found.cpe_lookupSearch for Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) entries by product name in Shodan's CVEDB. Supports pagination and can return either full CPE details or just the total count. Useful for identifying specific versions and configurations of software and hardware.cves_by_productSearch for vulnerabilities affecting specific products or CPEs. Supports filtering by KEV status, sorting by EPSS score, date ranges, and pagination. Can search by product name or CPE 2.3 identifier. Returns detailed vulnerability information including severity scores and impact assessments.shodan_countGet the total number of Shodan results for a query, with optional facet breakdowns (e.g. by country, org, port). Free: does not consume query credits. Use search_filters to list valid filters and facets.domain_infoGet subdomains and DNS records for a domain from Shodan. Costs 1 query credit per lookup.api_infoShow the Shodan API plan, remaining query and scan credits, monitored IPs, and usage limits for the configured API key. Free: does not consume credits.search_filtersList the search filters and facets Shodan supports. Use this to build valid shodan_search and shodan_count queries and facets. Free: does not consume credits.

Frequently asked questions
DJZS Trust MCP is categorized under Security and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Shodan belongs to Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick DJZS Trust MCP for security work and Shodan for security.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
DJZS Trust MCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Shodan has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add djzs-trust-mcp and shodan-2 as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
