Verantis MCP

The verified directory for machine payments — as an MCP tool.

Give any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, agent frameworks) the ability to check what it's about to pay before it pays. Verantis continuously probes machine-payable services across x402 and MPP, measures on-chain reputation, and publishes a recomputable record. This server is a thin client of the public Verantis API — standard library only, no dataset needed.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`find_paid_service`	Search the verified directory (x402 / MPP). Filter by verified-only, price, chain, protocol, category, reputation.
`get_service`	Full record + verification provenance for one domain.
`check_wallet`	Pre-payment guard — pass the recipient wallet a service asked you to pay; get its earned reputation tier, on-chain buyer retention, and which services it fronts.
`directory_stats`	Index-level stats: services, verification breakdown, freshness.

What it can and can't do

Can: read the public directory; check a service or wallet before your agent pays.
Can't: move money, see your keys, or read your files.
Only ever calls api.verantis.ai — nothing else.
Writes nothing (hosted endpoint) / only a random anonymous install id (local pip/uvx).
No account, no API key. MIT-licensed. Read-only.

Install & connect

Two ways to connect — pick one.

Local (stdio) — via `uvx`, no install step

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) or any MCP client:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verantis": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["verantis-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Prefer pip? pip install verantis-mcp, then use "command": "verantis-mcp" with no args.

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json): same block under mcpServers.

Hosted (no install) — connect by URL

VS Code / Copilot: one-click add ▸ — or add it manually below.

For any client that supports remote / streamable-HTTP MCP servers, point it straight at the hosted endpoint — nothing to install, no Python:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verantis": { "url": "https://api.verantis.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Clients that only speak local stdio can bridge with npx mcp-remote https://api.verantis.ai/mcp.

Restart your client, and the four tools appear.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
`VERANTIS_API_BASE`	`https://api.verantis.ai`	Point the client at a different Verantis API.

Notes

Informational only; not financial, investment, or legal advice. Classifications describe what live probes and on-chain reads observed at a point in time and can change. Reputation is earned from real on-chain settlement, not assumed. Verantis has no rail of its own, no token, and no stake in any listed service.
