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