Trustscoreagent MCP Server

TrustScoreAgent

Free, open reputation registry for AI microservices. Agents check trust scores before calling any service.

Status: Phase 1 (early). The API, scoring (Beta + EigenTrust), receipt verification, Merkle audit trail and MCP server are implemented and tested — but the public dataset is still small, some services (*.example.com) are demo seed data, and parts of the design (on-chain anchoring, x402 payments, mandatory agent signatures) are Phase 2. We publish early and openly on purpose: the trust layer for the agentic economy should exist, be auditable, and be adoptable before it becomes critical. See the trust model in SECURITY.md.

What is this?

AI agents increasingly rely on paid microservices. TrustScoreAgent lets any agent:

• Check the reputation of a service before calling it
• Rate a service after calling it
• Discover which services are reliable

No account needed. No API key. Identify services by URL, domain, or DID.

Quick start

# Check a service's trust score (any format works)
curl "https://api.trustscoreagent.com/v1/score?service=api.example.com"
curl "https://api.trustscoreagent.com/v1/score?service=https://api.example.com/v1/translate"

# Unknown services return a neutral score (0.5) — no errors
curl "https://api.trustscoreagent.com/v1/score?service=never-seen-before.com"

# Rate a service after calling it
curl -X POST "https://api.trustscoreagent.com/v1/rate" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Agent-DID: my-agent.example.com" \
  -d '{
    "service": "api.example.com",
    "metrics": {
      "status_code": 200,
      "latency_ms": 143,
      "schema_valid": true
    }
  }'

# List top-rated services
curl "https://api.trustscoreagent.com/v1/services?sort_by=score&min_ratings=10"

Local development

# Start PostgreSQL and Redis
docker compose up -d

# Run the API
dotnet run --project src/TrustScore.Api

# Run tests
dotnet test

# Swagger UI
open http://localhost:5000/swagger

Architecture

• C# / .NET 8 — ASP.NET Core Minimal API
• PostgreSQL — Ratings and service scores
• Redis — Score caching, rate limiting, nonce tracking
• Beta Reputation System — Bayesian scoring (per-dimension: availability, latency, conformity)
• EigenTrust — Anti-Sybil agent trust scoring
• Merkle Tree — Cryptographic audit log with inclusion proofs
• Ed25519 Receipt Verification — Cryptographic proof of service interaction
• MCP Server — Integration with Claude, Cursor, and MCP-compatible agents

API Reference

Core (free, always)

Premium (free for now, x402 micropayments later)

Service identification

All endpoints accept services in any format — they are normalized internally:

• api.example.com (domain)
• https://api.example.com/v1/translate (URL)
• did:web:api.example.com (DID)

All three resolve to the same service.

MCP Server

TrustScoreAgent is available as an MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other agents.

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add trustscoreagent -- npx -y @trustscoreagent/mcp-server

See docs/mcp.md for full setup instructions.

Framework integrations

Drop-in tools for agent frameworks (no account or API key needed):

• LangChain — from trustscoreagent_langchain import get_trustscoreagent_tools
• CrewAI — from trustscoreagent_crewai import get_trustscoreagent_tools

Each exposes trustscore_check_reputation, trustscore_submit_rating, and trustscore_list_services. See integrations/.

Project status & trust model

TrustScoreAgent is Phase 1 (early). What that means in practice:

• Baseline data is real and auditable. Initial scores come from a transparent operated probe (did:web:trustscoreagent.com:probe) that measures the availability, latency and conformity of a curated list of public, free APIs — real, Merkle-audited measurements, not fabricated numbers. Community and receipt-verified ratings accumulate on top. (The earlier fictitious *.example.com seeds have been removed.)
• Single operator. Neutrality currently rests on open-source scoring code and a verifiable Merkle audit trail, not on decentralization. Federation is a later phase.
• Agent identity is self-asserted. Sybil resistance in Phase 1 is rate limiting + hourly EigenTrust; verified service receipts are the trustworthy signal. Mandatory agent signatures and on-chain Merkle anchoring are Phase 2.
