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 & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0

Tool Safety0

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.
How do I install the TrustLayer MCP server?
TrustLayer is a hosted endpoint at https://api.thetrustlayer.xyz/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 →

What is the TrustLayer MCP server?
TrustLayer is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.goatgaucho/trustlayer. Agent reputation scoring: trust scores, Sybil detection, cross-chain identity for 133K+ agents. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.thetrustlayer.xyz/mcp).
Is the TrustLayer MCP server safe to use?
TrustLayer scores 33 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 TrustLayer MCP server expose?
TrustLayer exposes 6 tools: get_trust_report, get_trust_score, get_reviewer_profile, get_owner_portfolio, get_score_history, get_network_stats. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 359 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the TrustLayer MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to TrustLayer without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the TrustLayer MCP server still maintained?
TrustLayer 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.
