## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to connect, but we couldn't read the whole tool list to see what that exposes.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint returned HTTP 503.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema, or could read only part of its tool list.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools, or could read only part of the list.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (9)

### `marketnow_verify_trust` (~85 tokens)

Verify any AI agent credential (JWT, W3C VC, MCP Card, ATC v3, A2A, EAT-AI, ZTA, X.509) through the UTA 12-stage verification pipeline. Returns validity, format, trust score, and issues.

Input parameters:

- `credential` (string, required): The credential to verify (JSON string or JWT)

### `marketnow_translate_credential` (~141 tokens)

Translate a credential between 8 formats (ATC v3, JWT, W3C VC, A2A, EAT-AI, ZTA, MCP Card, X.509). Lossless conversion through Universal Trust Schema (UTS).

Input parameters:

- `from` (string, required): Source format: atc-v3, jwt, w3c-vc, a2a-card, mcp-card, x509
- `payload` (string, required): The credential JSON to translate
- `to` (string, required): Target format: atc-v3, jwt, w3c-vc, a2a-card, mcp-card, x509

### `marketnow_list_formats` (~23 tokens)

List all 8 supported credential formats with their algorithms and status.

### `marketnow_get_pipeline` (~19 tokens)

Get the 12-stage verification pipeline details.

### `marketnow_check_domain` (~44 tokens)

Check if a domain is suspicious (scam checker). Returns risk score and reasons.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string, required): The domain to check (e.g. example.com)

### `marketnow_search_skills` (~56 tokens)

Search the MarketNow registry of indexed MCP servers (69k+ across GitHub, npm and PyPI, security-first scored).

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by category
- `query` (string): Search query

### `marketnow_check_revocation` (~178 tokens)

Check the revocation status of an Agent Trust Card (card_id) or CA key (kid) against the signed MarketNow Revocation Registry (MNR-CRL-1.0) + live ledger. Returns VALID/EXPIRED/REVOKED/SUPERSEDED/UNKNOWN with PERMIT/DENY recommendation. Fail-closed: unknown subjects answer UNKNOWN+DENY. The signed CRL layer is independently verifiable via Ed25519 (RFC 8785 JCS).

Input parameters:

- `card_id` (string): Agent Trust Card ID (e.g. ATC-2026-1509360)
- `kid` (string): CA key ID (e.g. mn-ca-002, mn-ca-003)
- `nonce` (string): Optional client nonce — echoed in the response (anti-replay)

### `marketnow_fingerprint_tool` (~140 tokens)

Cryptographically fingerprint MCP tool definitions (OWASP MCP Cheat Sheet: 'verify tool descriptions haven't changed'). Computes RFC 8785 JCS + sha256 per tool plus a manifest fingerprint for the whole tools/list surface. Pass a previous manifest in 'pinned' to get a drift report (added/removed/changed) — the core defense against tool poisoning and rug-pull redefinitions.

Input parameters:

- `pinned` (object): Optional: previous manifest {tools:[{name, fingerprint_sha256}]} from an earlier fingerprint run — enables drift detection
- `tools` (array, required): Tool definitions from tools/list: [{name, description, inputSchema}]

### `marketnow_submit_skill` (~266 tokens)

Publish a skill to the MarketNow catalog (the write side). The package is validated and Sentinel-scanned (injection patterns, embedded secrets, dangerous APIs, suspicious URLs, typosquat, dedup against the 69k+ catalog) AND its claims are verified live: repo_url must exist (HTTP 200), install must reference a real package on npm/PyPI/crates/Docker Hub. False claims are rejected (422). Accepted skills with real substance (files/code/verifiable repo) are stored in the public auditable queue as certified-L1.5, pending L2 review and catalog merge. Description-only submissions are accepted but never merged. No authentication required. Do NOT include secrets — the scanner rejects them.

Input parameters:

- `dry_run` (boolean): If true, run the full validation + scan but store nothing
- `skill` (object, required): Skill package. Required: name, version, description, author. Recommended: runtime (node|python|rust|go|dotnet|docker|luau|roblox|other), install, repo_url, homepage, tags (max 12), capabilities, doc.…

## Common questions

### What is the MarketNow MCP server?

MarketNow is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.alicelabs-llc/marketnow. Verify agent credentials, 9 formats, scam domains; search 70k+ MCP servers with auth-gate state. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://marketnow.site/api/mcp/).

### Is the MarketNow MCP server safe to use?

MarketNow scores 25 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 MarketNow MCP server expose?

MarketNow exposes 9 tools: marketnow_verify_trust, marketnow_translate_credential, marketnow_list_formats, marketnow_get_pipeline, marketnow_check_domain, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 952 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the MarketNow MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to MarketNow without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the MarketNow MCP server still maintained?

MarketNow is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
