## Common questions

### What is the Synmerco MCP server?

Synmerco is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.JoeSRQ/synmerco. Escrow, trust scores, and marketplace for AI agent commerce on 5 chains. 38 tools, 8 free. This page covers its npm package (@synmerco/mcp-server).

### Is the Synmerco MCP server safe to use?

Synmerco scores 73 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. 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 Synmerco MCP server expose?

Synmerco exposes 38 tools: lookup_trust_score, search_agents, compare_agents, estimate_fees, get_platform_info, and 33 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,957 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Synmerco MCP server still maintained?

Synmerco 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.

### What licence is the Synmerco MCP server under?

Synmerco declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
