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…

People connecting finance tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Verantis MCP

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add m9labs-railscope-verantis-mcp --transport http https://api.verantis.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "m9labs-railscope-verantis-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.verantis.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to api.verantis.ai

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

repo age created 2026-08-16 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package verantis-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.m9labs-railscope is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Verantis MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

An agent gets 4 documented tools across read & search, check, directory, including find_paid_service, get_service, check_wallet, directory_stats.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Verantis MCP lets an agent do.

read & search

2 tools - e.g. Search the verified directory (x402 / MPP). Filter by verified-only, price, chain, protocol, category, reputation.; Full record + verification provenance for one domain.

find_paid_service · get_service

Check

1 tool - e.g. 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

check_wallet

Directory

1 tool - e.g. Index-level stats: services, verification breakdown, freshness.

directory_stats

Limitations (from the README)

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.
