How do I install the trustsource MCP server?

Add the following block to your claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers: "mcpServers": { "trustsource": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "trustsource"] } }

What does trustsource do?

x402-paid domain verification for AI agents — trustscore, SSL, security headers, robots.

Is the trustsource MCP server free to use?

Yes. trustsource is listed on AllMCPs as a free, open Model Context Protocol server you can install into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

TrustSource API

x402-powered verification APIs for AI agents — URL safety, email authentication, domain trust, SSL/TLS, security headers, robots.txt. Pay per use, no API keys, no accounts.

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies

Terminal

npm install

2. Configure environment

bash

cp .env.example .env

Open .env and set at minimum:

Code

PAY_TO_ADDRESS=0xYourBaseWalletAddress

Leave everything else as-is to run on Base Sepolia testnet (no real money).

3. Run the server

Terminal

npm run dev

You should see the startup banner at http://localhost:3000.

Testing the x402 Flow

Free endpoints (no payment needed)

Terminal

curl http://localhost:3000/
curl http://localhost:3000/health

Paid endpoint — what an unpaid agent sees

Terminal

curl http://localhost:3000/trustscore?domain=example.com
# Returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header

Paid endpoint — bypass payment for local dev testing

The x402 testnet facilitator at https://x402.org/facilitator accepts test payments. To fully test the payment flow, use an x402 client with a funded testnet wallet.

Get Base Sepolia testnet ETH: https://sepolia.base.org/faucet
Get testnet USDC: https://faucet.circle.com (select Base Sepolia)

Switching to Mainnet (Production)

In .env, change:

Code

NETWORK=eip155:8453
FACILITATOR_URL=https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402
CDP_API_KEY_ID=your-key-id
CDP_API_KEY_SECRET=your-key-secret

Make sure your PAY_TO_ADDRESS Base wallet has some ETH for gas.
Your endpoints auto-list in the Bazaar/Agentic.Market after the first paid call clears.

API Reference

`GET /safefetch` ⭐

Fetch a page safely instead of fetching it directly: returns sanitized, agent-ready text plus a prompt-injection verdict.

An agent cannot scan a page for injection with its own model without first ingesting the attack. /safefetch does the fetching and scanning server-side — outside your agent's context window — and hands back classified content, so hostile markup never reaches your model unlabelled.

Detects: instructions hidden in display:none / off-screen elements, HTML comments, alt attributes · invisible Unicode-Tag (U+E0000) and zero-width smuggling · homoglyph-obfuscated and base64-encoded payloads · ChatML / [INST] delimiter spoofing · markdown-image data exfiltration · tool-call bait.

Findings are weighted by where they appear — a security article discussing injection in visible prose is not flagged; the same phrase hidden in markup is.

Payment: 0.01 USDC per call (via x402) · Cache: 10 minutes

Params: ?url=https://example.com

Response:

}

Verdicts: BLOCK — a critical technique concealed from human view, or aggregate risk ≥ 0.7. REVIEW — weaker signals, low-trust host, or a content type that was not scanned. SAFE — nothing concealed and aggregate risk below 0.25 (visible-text matches may still be present in injection.findings, deliberately weighted low).

`GET /urlcheck`

One composite CLEAR / REVIEW / BLOCK safety verdict on any URL, fusing domain trust, a live TLS check, and typosquat/lookalike detection.
