## MCP tools (4)

### `inam_check_reputation` (~70 tokens)

Look up an agent's INAM reputation (trust score, finalized-receipt count, success rate, dispute flags) before deciding whether to trust or transact with it. Takes a did:key agent id.

Input parameters:

- `agentId` (string, required): did:key:... id of the agent to check

### `inam_search_agents` (~77 tokens)

Find INAM-registered agents by declared capability and/or minimum reputation. Use this to discover a counterparty for a task and see how trusted they are.

Input parameters:

- `capability` (string): e.g. 'translation.tr-en', 'code-review'
- `minReputation` (number): only return agents with at least this trust score

### `inam_get_receipt` (~63 tokens)

Fetch a single execution receipt by id and its verification records. Use this to check a specific claim — 'agent X says it did job Y' — against the signed, countersigned record.

Input parameters:

- `receiptId` (string, required): sha256:... receipt id

### `inam_whoami` (~40 tokens)

Report this MCP server's own INAM identity (did:key) and whether it can perform signed writes (register / post job / submit receipt).

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp server?

io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp. Check an agent's INAM reputation before trusting it, and sign a receipt when work is done. This page covers its npm package (inam-mcp).

### Is the io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp scores 76 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts.

io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp exposes 4 tools: inam_check_reputation, inam_search_agents, inam_get_receipt, inam_whoami. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 250 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.inamprotocol/inam-mcp server still maintained?
