Install

How do I install the Tracea MCP server?

Tracea is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.tracea.online/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.

MCP tools · 15 exposed · ~1,262 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 →

Tool Tokens
check_payment_allowed ~99

Dry-run a payment BEFORE executing it: checks on-chain whether the agent's smart account would allow it (permission granted, within financial cap, destination approved if a whitelist exists). Returns { allowed, reason }.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent (its smart account address)
amount_ethstringyesAmount in ETH, e.g. '0.001'
destinationstringyesDestination address to pay

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_action ~47

Read a single logged agent action from the Tracea ActionLog contract by its numeric ID. Returns agent, action type, payload and timestamp.

NameTypeReqDescription
action_idintegeryesNumeric action ID

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_agent_actions ~37

List all on-chain action IDs logged for a given agent on Tracea.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_agent_info ~46

Get the raw Tracea registry record for an agent: owner, permission scope, financial cap, active status, timestamps.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_my_identity ~101

Get this agent's full Tracea identity (activity apiKey +, for v2 agents, its EOA private key and ERC-4337 smart account address) using a one-time activation code from the owner. The private key is returned ONLY ONCE — save it securely.

NameTypeReqDescription
activation_codestringOne-time activation code (or use ?code= / x-activation-code)
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of this agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_owner_agents ~36

List all agent addresses registered on Tracea by a given owner address.

NameTypeReqDescription
owner_addressstringyesEthereum address of the owner

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_payment_whitelist ~62

Get the list of owner-approved payment destination addresses for an agent (anti-injection guardrail). Non-empty list = the agent's smart account can ONLY pay these addresses. Empty = all allowed.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_registration_file ~47

Fetch the ERC-8004 compatible registration file for a Tracea-registered agent, including the KYA legal principal block.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

is_agent_revoked ~45

Check whether an agent's mandate has been revoked on Tracea (immediate, scheduled or partial revocation).

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

log_action ~96

Log an agent action on-chain via Tracea (immutable audit trail, court-ready). Requires TRACEA_API_KEY env var. The action is signed by the account's wallet.

NameTypeReqDescription
action_typestringyesShort action type, e.g. 'email_sent', 'payment_initiated'
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the acting agent
datastringOptional human-readable payload (JSON string recommended)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

payment_incoming ~116

Verify a x402 payment ON-CHAIN (the USDC transfer to your address, exact amount) and mark the session fulfilled. The blockchain is the ONLY source of truth — the payment_sessions table is never trusted alone. Returns { status: 'fulfilled', resource } if verified, or an error if not yet paid/expired.

NameTypeReqDescription
payment_idstringyesThe paymentId returned by payment_required (pay_...)
tx_hashstringyesThe on-chain transaction hash of the USDC transfer / payX402 call

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

payment_required ~195

Create a x402 payment request (HTTP 402) for a resource you sell to another agent. Returns a paymentId, the USDC amount in units, the destination address and the TraceaPayments contract to call. The paying agent must then call TraceaPayments.payX402(destination, amount, paymentId) on-chain — the contract enforces financial cap + whitelist on-chain. Deliver the resource only after payment_incoming confirms fulfilment.

NameTypeReqDescription
agentstringAddress of the paying agent, if known
amount_usdcstringyesAmount in USDC, e.g. '0.50' or '2'
destinationstringyesAddress that receives the USDC payment (yours)

ttl_secondsnumberValidity of the payment session (30-3600s, default 300)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

payment_status ~66

Get the status of a x402 payment session (pending | paid | fulfilled | expired), with destination, amount and tx hash. Useful to poll while waiting for the paying agent's on-chain transaction.

NameTypeReqDescription
payment_idstringyesThe paymentId returned by payment_required (pay_...)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

report_activity ~190

Report an action the agent just performed to its owner's Tracea activity feed (off-chain, free, instant). Call this AFTER every significant action (email sent, message posted, file modified, payment, purchase, booking...). Auth via the Tracea MCP URL (?key=...) from the agent's identity page, OR self-activate with a one-time activation code (?code=... or x-activation-code header) — the tool then receives its apiKey automatically.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of this agent
categorystringyesAction category
detailsstringOptional JSON string with extra context
in_permissionbooleanfalse if this action is OUTSIDE the granted permissions (flagged red)
permission_labelstringWhich owner-granted permission this action falls under
summarystringyesShort human-readable summary of what was done

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_agent ~79

Verify an AI agent's on-chain legal identity on Tracea (Base Sepolia). Returns registration status, financial cap, permission scope, revocation status, and KYA legal identity (mandant) when available. Use this BEFORE trusting or delegating work to an agent.

NameTypeReqDescription
agent_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent (0x...)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the Tracea MCP server?

Tracea is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Chriscorp/tracea. Tracea, legal identity (Know Your Agent) for AI agents, on-chain. ERC-8004 compatible. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.tracea.online/mcp).

Is the Tracea MCP server safe to use?

Tracea 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 Tracea MCP server expose?

Tracea exposes 15 tools: verify_agent, get_agent_info, is_agent_revoked, get_owner_agents, get_action, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,262 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Tracea MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the Tracea MCP server still maintained?

Tracea is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
