BotsRated (beta)

PAID $0.01 USDC on Base mainnet via x402. Top 3 covered providers for a task, sorted by reliability (default), price or latency, with matching routes and the numbers behind the order. An unpaid call returns an x402 v2 PaymentRequired tool error (isError, structuredContent with accepts); an x402-aware MCP client signs it and retries with the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]. Input is checked before any payment request; charged only when the tool returns an answer (settlement in result _meta["x402/payment-response"]).

FREE, never charged. Your own pass / warn / block rules applied to BotsRated measurements. Private to your plan or org key: until MCP auth ships this tool checks your arguments and answers bearer_required; call POST /v1/policy/check with your Bearer token. decision null means no answer, never a pass: apply your own fail_mode.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Change events since an ISO time for hosts on an alerts plan, or for one host on a data plan. Includes price_differs_from_listing (route, listed, quoted, listing_source, first_seen, receipt).

PAID $0.01 USDC on Base mainnet via x402 (the first 25 calls per client per UTC day are free over HTTP GET /v1/check). Measured facts for one host (an x402 seller, or a remote MCP server host: handshake state, protocol version, tools count/hash and change history, auth needed, latency): valid-402 rate, latency p50/p90, price and payTo vs listing, paid test-buys with Base tx links, freshness, last 5 receipts. An unpaid call returns an x402 v2 PaymentRequired tool error (isError, structuredContent with accepts); an x402-aware MCP client signs it and retries with the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]. Input is checked before any payment request; charged only when the tool returns an answer (settlement in result _meta["x402/payment-response"]).

FREE. How many x402 seller hosts and remote MCP servers BotsRated covers (mcp_servers: servers, hosts, probed, last-state counts; chains: measured hosts quoting Base USDC / Solana USDC in the last 48 h, null until measured), from which discovery sources, the probe schedules and when the last probe runs finished.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Reads hostnames from an mcp.json or a host list and saves them on the Desk watchlist for that plan. Does not store commands, env, or keys.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Status of one dispute. Contact is not returned.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Same hand review as POST /v1/dispute. Contact is stored and is not returned later.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Signed records already stored for the plan's hosts: receipt ids and verify links. Not a zip.

FREE (uses 1 of the 25 free checks per client per UTC day, shared with /v1/check). Top matching covered x402 sellers and remote MCP servers for what you need, each with a one-line factual reason (text match, recent valid 402s or handshakes, median latency, quoted price) and its page URL. Same filters as best, without the full ranking and receipts. Seller text is the seller's own words; we don't check it.

FREE. Signed daily aggregates for one seller host, newest first: probes, valid-402 count, status and error counts, latency p50/p90, quoted amounts, payTo/asset/network seen, 402 check counts, the day's receipt ids and where the raw signed receipts are archived (archive_url + line range + sha256). Each aggregate is ed25519-signed (key botsrated-prober-1).

Not charged. Is this x402 seller or remote MCP server covered, and what did its latest unpaid probe show? For MCP server hosts: last handshake state (ok, auth_required, handshake_failed, unreachable, or blocked = not contacted because the URL, a redirect or its DNS points somewhere our rules don't allow), protocol version, tool count and tools hash. Returns status, whether the 402 challenge was valid, quoted vs listed price and payTo, freshness (age, stale flag) and the receipt link. Use before paying any x402 seller. Cap: 1000 per client IP (IPv6 /48) per UTC day, then an error preflight_cap. A key allows 25000 per key per UTC day. No public price is listed for a key.

Plan bearer token, never x402. Checks one stored receipt's ed25519 signature. Same check as GET /v1/verify.

PAID $0.002 USDC on Base mainnet via x402 (the first 3 calls per client per UTC day are free over HTTP GET /v1/report/{host}). Full receipt history for one host (up to 1000 probes plus all paid test-buys). An unpaid call returns an x402 v2 PaymentRequired tool error (isError, structuredContent with accepts); an x402-aware MCP client signs it and retries with the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]. Input is checked before any payment request; charged only when the tool returns an answer (settlement in result _meta["x402/payment-response"]).

FREE. Returns a real sample of a paid response (check, report or best) for a fixed example, so you can see exactly what you would buy.

FREE. Verified owner posts a planned price and/or payTo set, effective_at, note, and sig_b64 over the canonical statement. Stored as an owner-signed record. Does not change a measurement. A payTo alert is not suppressed.

FREE. Read stored measurements for a host you operate or anyone can read: listing versus quoted price, whether recent unpaid checks returned a valid payment request, payTo observations. Not a judgement. Pass probe:true with session (the verified-owner token from POST /v1/seller/claim/verify) to run one on-demand unpaid probe with the same receipt code as buyer checks. probe is rate-limited.
