Available components
Dead
Every channel of this server has been unreachable for long enough to be marked dead. Its trust score is pinned to 0 and does not recover automatically: even once the server responds again it stays dead until it is manually reinstated.
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 Security57
- 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 connect, but we couldn't read the tool list to see what that exposes. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint returned HTTP 502. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

How do I install the Fact Verification MCP server?
Fact Verification MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://fact-check-mcp-production.up.railway.app/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 →
batch_verify ~201
Verify many factual claims in one batch fact-check call. Returns an array of verify_claim results (verdict + confidence + cited sources + explanation), each cross-referencing web search and the FoundryNet data network, plus the batch pricing and a verifiable provenance attestation over the whole batch. Each claim is cached for 24h, so repeats are cheap. PAID: $0.01 per claim, minimum $0.05 per batch, after the daily free allowance (10/day). On a 402, pay the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | – | – | stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter). |
| claims | array | yes | array of claim strings (1-50). |
| payment_tx | – | – | payment transaction signature, when re-calling after a 402. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
brief_summary ~165
Get the top 5 signals from today's brief as structured JSON — a cheap sample of the full daily_brief. Returns the day's highest-priority items (no prose) so an agent can decide whether to buy the full brief. PAID: $0.50 (vs the full daily_brief price). Defaults to today (UTC). On a 402, pay the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses payment.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | – | – | stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter). |
| date | – | – | brief date YYYY-MM-DD (default today, UTC). |

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
daily_brief ~241
Get the curated daily fact-check brief — the day's claim-verification signals in one package: the top disputed claims, the most-verified claims, the trending topics being checked, and counts by verdict + domain. Each brief carries a verifiable provenance attestation so a buyer can verify it was produced by this server, unaltered. PAID: $5 per brief. Defaults to today (UTC); a brief expires at the next midnight UTC. On a 402, pay the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses payment.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | – | – | stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter). |
| date | – | – | brief date YYYY-MM-DD (default today, UTC). |
| payment_tx | – | – | payment transaction signature, when re-calling after a 402. |
| stripe_token | – | – | Stripe Checkout Session id (cs_…), when re-calling after paying the Stripe payment link (alternative to x402). Can also be supplied via the X-Stripe-Token header. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
mint_info ~96
Get FoundryNet Data Network info + provenance attestation details. FREE. Returns how to attach a verifiable provenance attestation to your agent's fact-verification results, plus the sister data servers across the full FoundryNet Data Network (financial-signals, cyber-intel, patent-intel, gov-contracts, compliance, brand-intel, weather-intel, academic-intel, oss-intel, social-intel).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
source_check ~183
Check a source URL's credibility and trustworthiness for source verification — domain age (via RDAP), trust signals, bias indicators, and publication history. Use it to weight whether a citation is trustworthy. Results carry a verifiable provenance attestation and are cached for 24h. PAID: $0.01 per check after the daily free allowance (10/day). On a 402, pay the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | – | – | stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter). |
| payment_tx | – | – | payment transaction signature, when re-calling after a 402. |
| url | string | yes | the source URL or domain to assess, e.g. "https://reuters.com/...". |

No examples provided.
verify_claim ~239
Verify a factual claim and return a verdict, confidence score, and cited sources. Classifies the claim's domain (company / finance / patents / regulation), cross-references web search and the relevant FoundryNet data network source, and returns a verdict (supported | disputed | unverifiable) with a 0-100 confidence, the cited sources, and a short explanation. Results carry a verifiable provenance attestation and are cached for 24h. PAID: $0.02 per verification after a daily free allowance (10/day). On a 402, pay the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<signature>. agent_id scopes your allowance; an Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_id | – | – | stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter). |
| claim | string | yes | the factual statement to verify, e.g. "Acme Corp was founded in 2009". |
| context | – | – | optional extra context that disambiguates the claim. |
| payment_tx | – | – | payment transaction signature, when re-calling after a 402. |
