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 Security46
- 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 2 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 enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 402, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- 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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1901 tokens (~190/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the FactStamp MCP server?
FactStamp is a hosted endpoint at https://factstamp.agentrails.workers.dev/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 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 →
check_document ~239
Check a whole document in one call: the claims that can be verified against a primary source, each answered by the door that owns it with its own signed receipt, plus one receipt over the document. Extraction is mechanical, so the claim list and the count are reproducible from your document alone — nothing is inferred. This rail answers the first 5 claims for a flat US$0.25 (5 cents a claim); a better-funded document goes to the pack-funded HTTP door (POST /document, up to 25 claims at the same 5 cents a claim), whose free preview lists the claims and the price before anything is charged — use it first if you are unsure the document holds anything checkable. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| document | string | yes | The document text. Only sentences that name something we cover AND carry the value to check become claims; everything else is reported as considered. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_entity ~202
Verify a legal entity: does this company exist, under which identifier and jurisdiction, and is its registration current? Cited to open primary registers (the GLEIF LEI index and US SEC EDGAR). Returns found, ambiguous, not_found or unknown; a near name match is never reported as a match. Not advice, not a credit check, not a sanction screen. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jurisdiction | string | – | Optional jurisdiction code to break ties, e.g. 'CA-ON', 'US-DE', 'AU'. |
| query | string | yes | The entity to verify: a legal name such as 'Shopify Inc.', an LEI, or a CIK. An identifier resolves exactly. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_figure ~187
Submit the dated figure you are about to act on. Returns verified, stale, contradicted or unknown, cited to the publisher's own series with its as-of date. Use before committing a number to a page, deck or decision. Not advice. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | string | yes | The assertion to check, e.g. 'The RBA cash rate is 4.35% as at August 2026'. |
| series_id | string | – | Optional. Name the series to bypass the rule-based router (see list_series). Use when you already know which series owns the number, or when routing was ambiguous. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_series ~32
Free. What this engine covers, the publisher and as-of date behind each series, and the no-guess rule.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
route_claim ~58
Free. Shows which series a claim would be routed to, the value and date extracted, and the signals behind the score. Returns NO verdict — pay for check_figure when you want one.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim | string | yes | The assertion to route. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_bulk ~226
Check a whole list in one call: a bibliography or a dependency manifest. Send items[] of {tool, input} or the citations[]/packages[] shorthand. Up to 12 items at a flat US$0.12 on this door; longer lists pay 0.016667 an item on the pack-funded HTTP door (POST /bulk, up to 25 items). Every item is answered by the same door that answers a single call, so the verdicts cannot disagree. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| citations | array | – | Shorthand: DOIs, arXiv IDs or titles, each checked as a citation. |
| items | array | – | Explicit form: each item names its door and its input. |
| packages | array | – | Shorthand: package versions such as 'express@4.18.2'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_citation ~306
Check a citation before you repeat it. Submit a DOI, an arXiv ID or a paper title: returns whether it exists, what it is (title, authors, year, container) and whether it has been retracted, cited to Crossref and arXiv. Optionally send what your document claims (title, authors, year, journal) and every field is compared one by one — a disagreement is reported as mismatch, never as verified. A near title match is never reported as verified; a title that is absent from both returns not_found. Not advice. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| claimed_authors | array | – | The authors as your document lists them. Surnames are compared. |
| claimed_journal | string | – | The journal or container as your document names it. |
| claimed_title | string | – | The title exactly as your document quotes it, to have it compared against the record. |
| claimed_year | integer | – | The year as your document states it. A difference of one year is tolerated. |
| query | string | yes | A DOI such as '10.1038/nature12373', an arXiv ID such as '1706.03762', or a paper title. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_package ~198
Check a dependency before you install it. Submit a package and version plus its ecosystem: returns whether that exact version exists, whether it is yanked or deprecated, and every advisory OSV lists against it. An invented version returns not_found with the real versions nearest to it, and an invented name returns the published names that look like it — which is the point, because that is how slopsquatting gets installed. Not a security audit. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ecosystem | string | – | Which registry to ask. Defaults to npm. |
| package | string | yes | The package to check, e.g. 'express', 'express@4.18.2' or '@scope/name'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
watch_add ~256
Watch a citation or a package version instead of checking it once. Send kind ('citation' or 'package') and the subject (a DOI, an arXiv ID or a title; or npm:express@4.18.2). The first check is answered immediately and signed, then re-checked daily for 30 days; every real change (a retraction, a new advisory, a yanked version) is recorded with its own signed receipt. Returns a read URL and a token shown once; optionally send an https webhook and each change is POSTed to it. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | yes | What kind of subject this is. |
| subject | string | yes | The DOI, arXiv ID or title to watch; for a package, 'express@4.18.2' or 'npm:express@4.18.2'. |
| webhook | string | – | Optional https URL: each recorded change is POSTed there as JSON. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
watch_portfolio ~197
Watch a whole list instead of one reference at a time: up to 25 citations or package versions re-checked every day for 30 days under one token. US$5 a portfolio — 20 cents a reference, under a cent a check — and the first check on every reference is answered and signed immediately. Each real change carries its own signed receipt, and nothing is sent when nothing changed. Returns a read URL and a token shown once. Comes with an Ed25519-signed receipt covering the question, the verdict, the sources and the time, checkable offline against the published key at /.well-known/factstamp-issuer.json — so the check itself can be audited later by someone who was not here.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| items | array | yes | Up to 25 references. A repeated reference is charged once. |
| webhook | string | – | Optional https URL: each recorded change on any reference is POSTed there as JSON. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
