Documentation

BotsRated: MCP server

Signed checks of paid AI services, before your agent pays.

BotsRated measures paid AI-agent services with signed receipts. BotPulse is a separate digest and alerts product; these measurements do not claim coverage of every delivery outcome.

BotsRated publishes timestamped, receipt-backed measurements of paid x402 agent services on Base:

unpaid probes: status, whether the 402 challenge is valid, latency, quoted vs listed price, and payTo;
paid test-buys, each with its on-chain tx hash.

It reports facts only. No grade or index is shown until a host has 3 paid test-buys on 3 different days.

This repository documents the remote MCP server. There is nothing to install or run locally.

Tools

Tool	Price	What it returns
`preflight`	free, no key, rate limits	Facts bundle for an x402 seller (host or URL): latest unpaid probe, freshness, directory listing, receipt link. No score and no grade. See below
`find`	free (uses 1 of the 25 free checks per client IP per UTC day)	Top matching x402 sellers and remote MCP servers for a need (`q`, e.g. `weather`), each with a one-line factual reason and its page URL. Same filters as `best`, without the full ranking. HTTP: `GET https://botsrated.com/v1/find?q=`
`coverage`	free	How many x402 sellers and MCP servers are covered, from which sources, and when the last probe ran
`sample`	free	A real sample of a paid answer (`check`, `report` or `best`) for a fixed example
`history`	free	Signed daily aggregates for one host, newest first
`check`	$0.001 (x402, USDC on Base); first 25 per client IP per UTC day free	Measured facts and the last 5 receipts for one host. Paid at `GET https://botsrated.com/v1/check?host=`
`report`	$0.002 (x402); first 3 per client IP per UTC day free	Full receipt history for one host. Paid at `GET https://botsrated.com/v1/report/{host}`
`best`	$0.01 (x402)	Top 3 measured providers for a task (`sort=reliability\|price\|latency`). Paid at `GET https://botsrated.com/v1/best?task=`

Facts bundle (`preflight` and `check`)

preflight (the MCP tool and GET /v1/preflight?url=<host>) returns measurements and receipt links. You set your own thresholds. The response has no score and no grade.

Field	What you get back
`found`, `host`	Whether this host is in the probe record, and the host name
`latest_probe`	Latest unpaid probe: `ts`, `status`, `valid_402`, `latency_ms`, observed amount (`live_amount`), observed payTo (`live_payTo`), `live_network`
`latest_probe.receipt_url`	Link to the signed receipt for that probe (`https://botsrated.com/receipt/...`). The receipt is the record
`freshness`	`last_probe_at`, `age_seconds`, `stale` (older than 24 h)
`listing`	Directory price and payTo. Directory data is not a probe observation
`recent_window`	Probe count, how many returned a valid 402, latency. A count in a window, not a grade
`note`	Facts only

check (paid, after the free daily quota) adds measured facts for one host and the last receipts. Those are still measurements and receipt links, not a score.

The payment guard in @botsrated/x402-preflight and botsrated keeps a smaller local bundle from this response (covered, host, knownPayTos / known_pay_tos, listingPayTo / listing_pay_to, observedNetwork / observed_network, observedAmount / observed_amount, stale, receiptUrl / receipt_url). Pick a named preset (warn, carefulBuyer, or dry-run-only) there. The guard does not invent a score from these fields.

The paid tools return the x402 URL to call. Any x402 client can pay them, for example @x402/fetch or the Coinbase Agentic Wallet. All three paid routes are also listed in the Coinbase x402 Bazaar.

Free daily quota: the first 25 checks and 3 reports per client IP (IPv6 per /48) per UTC day are answered without payment; after that the normal x402 402 applies. /v1/find spends one check from that same quota. /v1/best has no free quota. Preflight stays free, no key, rate limits. No accounts, prepaid balances or stored credit. The badge is free and earned, never sold. Details: https://botsrated.com/pricing

Free HTTP endpoints and pages


`GET https://botsrated.com/v1/find?q=<need>`	Top matches for a need with a reason (uses 1 of the 25 free checks per client IP per UTC day, shared with `/v1/check`)
`GET https://botsrated.com/v1/pulse`	Live totals (cached 60 s): services watched, working in the last 24 h, down or failed in 7 days, checks run in 7 days. Never names a seller
`GET https://botsrated.com/v1/savings-rates`	Measured rates (offline, payTo changes, price vs listing) with sample size, dates and source
https://botsrated.com/sellers	Browse and filter every covered seller and MCP server
`https://botsrated.com/s/<host>`	One page per seller or MCP server: status, 30-day chart, price, payTo, test purchases, receipts, alternatives
https://botsrated.com/savings	What we check for, with the rates we measured
https://botsrated.com/leaderboard	Data table of the top 300 covered x402 sellers

Plans (seller alerts and data plans)

One x402 USDC payment on Base buys one 30-day period. There is no balance and no auto-renewal. Cancelling stops delivery. The dataset stays free.

Plan	Price per 30 days	What you get
`alerts-free`	free	1 host; one signed webhook digest per UTC day when its facts change
`alerts-10`	$9	Up to 10 hosts; a signed webhook within one probe cycle of a change (payTo, quoted price, valid 402, listing, freshness)
`alerts-50`	$29	Up to 50 hosts; same events
`data-starter`	$49	Bearer token for `/v1/check`, `/v1/report`, `/v1/best` without per-call payment (60 requests/min)
`data-pro`	$199	Same, 600 requests/min
custom	from $499/month	Volume, SLA or bulk delivery: [email protected]

Subscribe with POST https://botsrated.com/v1/alerts/subscribe (free) or POST https://botsrated.com/v1/subscribe/{plan} (x402). The body and the webhook are checked before any 402. The webhook must answer the verification POST with the challenge; it must be https on a public DNS name, and redirects are not followed. Alerts are webhooks only, never email, signed with Ed25519 (botsrated-prober-1, see below) over {"m":"<timestamp>.<raw body>"}. Manage a subscription with GET /v1/subscription and POST /v1/subscription/{cancel,update} plus Authorization: Bearer <token>. Full details: https://botsrated.com/v1/plans

Methodology: https://botsrated.com/methodology
A seller can send a reply about a measurement for free: https://botsrated.com/disputes (POST /v1/dispute). The measurement is re-checked and the reply is published next to the data. A measurement is a signed record, not a finding about the seller.

Signing keys (Ed25519)

Raw 32-byte public keys, base64. Fingerprint = sha256 of the raw key bytes. A signature is valid for an object whose own timestamp (ts, or generated_at for snapshots) lies in [valid from, valid until).
