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 who work with agent payments, stablecoin and usdc and want it reachable from 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.
