What data it sees

No: the server works without sign-in

TrustBench is the public registry, routing layer, and signed-receipt audit trail for x402 agent payments. Three read-only tools surface live provider rankings, Ed25519-signed payment receipts, and signature verification (lookup or offline mode).

How to connect

How to connect TrustBench to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://trustbench--lithvall88.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect TrustBench to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://trustbench--lithvall88.run.tools

  1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

How to connect TrustBench to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://trustbench--lithvall88.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

  1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
  2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
  3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

Authorization

If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

get_rankingsGet TrustBench liveness rankings for x402 providers by capability. Returns a scored list of providers with latency and success-rate telemetry. Methodology note: scores are derived from HEAD-probe liveness checks (3 samples from one host), not a rigorous benchmark. See trustbench.io/methodology. Output: returns a JSON array. Each object has name (string, provider name), score (number 0-100, composite liveness score), latency_p50 (number, ms), success_rate (number 0.0-1.0, last 7 days), endpoint (string, URL), capabilities (array of strings).
get_receiptFetch a TrustBench routing receipt by ID. Receipts are immutable, Ed25519-signed records of a routing or payment event. Use to verify what was paid, to whom, for what capability, and what the on-chain settlement reference is. IDs start with rcpt_ (Phase 3) or rrcpt_ (Phase 4). Output: returns the signed receipt envelope as JSON. Phase 3 (rcpt_) returns a SignedReceipt with receipt (call metadata + settlement ref) and signature (Ed25519 over JCS-canonicalized receipt body). Phase 4 (rrcpt_) returns {receipt, signature} where receipt.paid contains routing details and signature covers the canonical envelope. To verify an envelope offline use the verify_receipt tool with the returned JSON, or @trustbench/verify-receipt npm.
verify_receiptVerify the Ed25519 signature on a TrustBench receipt. Two modes: (1) Lookup mode — pass receipt_id and the server fetches the receipt from trustbench.io and re-runs verification (handy when you only have an ID). (2) Offline mode — pass receipt_json (the full {receipt, signature} envelope an agent received from a third party) and the server verifies the Ed25519 signature against the published public key at trustbench.io/.well-known/trustbench-pubkey without trusting the database. Exactly one of receipt_id or receipt_json must be provided. Output: returns JSON with receipt_id, signature_valid (boolean), on_chain_verified (boolean, where present), signature_alg ("ed25519"), verify_url, pubkey_url. For non-server-mediated verification with no network round-trip, use the @trustbench/verify-receipt npm package.
