How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 31 of 96 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability86

  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 2 exposed · ~172 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. 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 →

attest_grade ~72

Quickly look up the most recent Attest grade for a host that has already been scanned. Useful for a fast pre-check. If the host has never been scanned, use attest_scan instead.

attest_scan ~100

Scan an agent payment endpoint (x402 / MPP / AP2 / L402 / HTTP 402) and return a letter grade A–F with a safety verdict. Call this BEFORE authorizing a payment to an unfamiliar endpoint to check for impersonation, blocklisted payout wallets, bait-and-switch pricing, and protocol problems.

Common questions

What is the Attest MCP server?

Attest is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.attestagents/attest-mcp. Scan agent payment endpoints (x402, AP2, L402, MPP, 402) for a trust grade A-F before paying. This page covers its npm package (attest-mcp).

Is the Attest MCP server safe to use?

Attest scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 21 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Attest MCP server expose?

Attest exposes 2 tools: attest_scan, attest_grade. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 172 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Attest MCP server still maintained?

Attest is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Attest MCP server under?

Attest declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
