Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 5 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2032 tokens (~254/item across 8 items; 7 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management90
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 2 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Popdot AI MCP server?
Popdot AI is a hosted endpoint at https://popdot.ai/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
answer_trial_canary ~209

check_availability ~148
Check whether a specific subdomain is available on a given domain. Returns true if the subdomain can be rented. Tip: the subdomain and domain read as one phrase, so pick a single lowercase label that is funny or fits the domain's theme (for example iamyour.slopmommy.com or analien.lostmyluggage.com). A delightful combination is the point of a Popdot AI address.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domainId | string | yes | The parent domain: its id from search_domains, or its name (for example addedtocart.shop) |

rent_domain ~457
Rent a subdomain, paying per-transaction with USDC on Base (x402). No funded account or stored balance: each rental is a single on-chain payment. Requires agent authentication. Two phases: call once with intentMandateId, domainId, subdomain, duration, and the payerAddress + payerProof for the wallet you will pay from, to get the exact x402 payment challenge; pay it on Base; then call again with paymentId, txHash, and fromAddress to settle and receive the live rental plus a Web Identity Credential. Request an x402 payment challenge to rent a subdomain. Durations PT1H, PT4H, P1D, P7D, P30D. Returns the exact USDC amount and recipient on Base.

try_domain ~460
Launch a memorable public URL for something you built. Free for 24 hours, no signup and no wallet required. Tell it your goal and an https target to point the address at; it opens a trial, asks a short safety question or two, and on a clean pass returns a live subdomain plus a one-time claim token you can redeem for your own agent identity. Use it to demo a deployment with a real address before a paid rental. One trial per agent. Expires in 24 hours.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

upgrade_trial ~463
Turn a free trial into your own paid, persistent address in one call, no human required. Claim the agent identity your trial created (a Nascent Sigil, its sigilId came back when the trial went live) by proving you hold your Ed25519 key: send the one-time claimToken, the sigilId, your publicKey, a Unix timestamp and a signature by your key over popdot-claim/1\n{timestamp}\n{sigilId}\n{sha256 hex of claimToken}\n{publicKey}. The claim token works until 30 days after the trial ends. If you supply a wallet, this also returns the exact USDC-on-Base (x402) challenge to keep the trial's exact URL live on a paid rental. No wallet yet? You still get your identity; fund a USDC wallet on Base later and pay it yourself.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| claimToken | string | yes | The one-time claim token returned by try_domain / answer_trial_canary. |
| duration | string | – | Optional rental length: an ISO 8601 duration (PT1H, PT4H, P1D, P7D, P30D) or hourly/daily/weekly/monthly. Defaults to PT1H (1 hour). |

| payerProof | string | – | Optional EIP-191 personal_sign signature proving control of payerAddress. |
| payerProofIssuedAt | string | – | Optional ISO 8601 timestamp of the payerProof, within 5 minutes. |
| publicKey | string | yes | Your Ed25519 public key as standard padded base64 of the raw 32 bytes (44 characters). You keep the private key. |
| sigilId | string | yes | The sigilId returned with the claim token. It must match the identity the token belongs to. |
| signature | string | yes | Standard padded base64 of the 64-byte Ed25519 signature over the popdot-claim/1 message. |
| timestamp | string | yes | Integer Unix seconds, no leading zeros, within 300 seconds of now. Part of the signed message. |

What is the Popdot AI MCP server?
Popdot AI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.popdot/popdot-mcp. Rent verified subdomains by the hour, day, or month. Free 24h trials, x402 USDC on Base. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://popdot.ai/api/mcp).
Is the Popdot AI MCP server safe to use?
Popdot AI scores 80 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Popdot AI MCP server expose?
Popdot AI exposes 7 tools: try_domain, answer_trial_canary, search_domains, get_price_quote, check_availability, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,013 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Popdot AI MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Popdot AI without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Popdot AI MCP server still maintained?
Popdot AI is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
