Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1204 tokens (~120/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "safe_pay" implies "pay" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

Install

How do I install the io.github.michu5696/paycrow MCP server?

io.github.michu5696/paycrow is a hosted endpoint at https://paycrow-app.fly.dev/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 · 10 exposed · ~1,204 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
escrow_create ~142

Create a USDC escrow with built-in dispute resolution. Funds are locked on-chain until delivery is confirmed (release) or a problem is flagged (dispute). If disputed, an arbiter reviews and rules — the only escrow service with real dispute resolution on Base.

NameTypeReqDescription
amount_usdcnumberyesAmount in USDC (e.g., 5.00 for $5)
sellerstringyesEthereum address of the seller/service provider
service_urlstringyesURL or identifier of the service being purchased (used for tracking)
timelock_minutesnumberMinutes until escrow expires and auto-refunds (default: 30)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

escrow_dispute ~95

Flag a problem with delivery — PayCrow's key differentiator. Locks escrowed funds and triggers arbiter review. Unlike other escrow services that say 'no disputes, no chargebacks', PayCrow has real on-chain dispute resolution. Use when service was not delivered or quality was unacceptable.

NameTypeReqDescription
escrow_idstringyesThe escrow ID to dispute
reasonstringyesBrief description of the problem for the arbiter

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

escrow_release ~46

Confirm delivery and release escrowed USDC to the seller. Only call this when you've verified the service/product was delivered correctly.

NameTypeReqDescription
escrow_idstringyesThe escrow ID to release

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

escrow_status ~40

Check the current state of an escrow (funded, released, disputed, expired, etc.)

NameTypeReqDescription
escrow_idstringyesThe escrow ID to check

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

rate_service ~119

Rate a completed escrow. After escrow_release, rate the seller's service quality (1-5 stars). This builds the reputation data that makes PayCrow's trust scores meaningful over time. Both sides can rate: buyer rates seller's service quality, seller rates buyer's conduct. Ratings are on-chain and permanent — they feed directly into trust scoring.

NameTypeReqDescription
escrow_idstringyesThe escrow ID to rate (must be in Released state)
starsintegeryesRating 1-5 stars (1=terrible, 5=excellent)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

safe_pay ~228

The smart way to pay an agent. Checks their trust score first, then auto-configures escrow protection based on risk. Flow: Check trust → Set protection level → Create escrow → Call API → Verify → Auto-release or auto-dispute. Protection levels (automatic): - High trust agent → 15min timelock, proceed normally - Moderate trust → 60min timelock, payment capped at $25 - Low trust → 4hr timelock, payment capped at $5 - Unknown/caution → BLOCKED — will not send funds This is the recommended tool for paying any agent. If you need manual control, use x402_protected_call instead.

NameTypeReqDescription
amount_usdcnumberyesAmount to pay in USDC
bodystringRequest body (for POST/PUT)
headersobjectHTTP headers to include
methodstringHTTP method (default: GET)
seller_addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent you're paying
urlstringyesThe API endpoint URL to call

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

trust_gate ~134

Should you pay this agent? Check before sending money. Returns a go/no-go decision with recommended escrow protection parameters. Unlike other trust services, PayCrow ties trust directly to escrow protection: - High trust → shorter timelock, proceed with confidence - Low trust → longer timelock, smaller amounts recommended - Caution → don't proceed, or use maximum protection This is the tool to call BEFORE escrow_create or safe_pay.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent you're about to pay
intended_amount_usdcnumberHow much you plan to pay (helps calibrate the recommendation)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

trust_onchain_quick ~56

Quick on-chain reputation check using only the PayCrow Reputation contract. Free, no API keys needed. Use trust_score_query for the full composite score.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent to look up

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

trust_score_query ~88

Full trust score breakdown for an agent address. Aggregates 4 on-chain sources: PayCrow escrow history, ERC-8004 agent identity, Moltbook social karma, and Base chain activity. Returns 0-100 score with per-source details. For a quick go/no-go decision, use trust_gate instead.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesEthereum address of the agent to look up

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

x402_protected_call ~256

Make an HTTP API call with manual escrow protection. Full control over verification and timelock parameters. For most payments, use safe_pay instead — it auto-configures protection based on seller trust. Use x402_protected_call when you need: - Custom JSON Schema verification (not just "valid JSON + 2xx") - Hash-lock verification (exact response match) - Specific timelock durations - To override safe_pay's trust-based amount limits

NameTypeReqDescription
amount_usdcnumberyesAmount to pay in USDC
bodystringRequest body (for POST/PUT)
headersobjectHTTP headers to include
methodstringHTTP method
seller_addressstringyesEthereum address of the API provider (seller) who will receive payment
timelock_minutesnumberMinutes until escrow expires
urlstringyesThe API endpoint URL to call
verification_datastringyesVerification data: JSON Schema string (for schema strategy) or expected hash (for hash-lock)
verification_strategystringHow to verify the response: 'schema' (JSON Schema) or 'hash-lock' (exact hash match)
