Reference implementations showing how to make AI agents check CraftedTrust before connecting to any MCP server. If a server scores D or F, the agent refuses to connect.

This is the "SSL certificate check for AI agents" pattern.

Add CraftedTrust to your agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "craftedtrust": {
      "url": "https://mcp.craftedtrust.com/api/v1/mcp",
      "description": "Check trust scores before connecting to MCP servers"
    }
  }
}

Your agent now has access to 6 tools:

| Tool | Description | |---|---| | check_trust | Look up trust score by URL or npm name | | scan_server | Trigger a live security scan | | search_registry | Search 4,200+ indexed MCP servers | | get_stats | Ecosystem statistics | | pay_for_certification | Initiate USDC certification payment | | verify_payment | Verify on-chain payment |

Before your agent connects to any new MCP server:

1. Call check_trust on CraftedTrust
2. If grade is D or F, refuse and explain why
3. If grade is A/B/C, proceed with the connection

See `python/trust_gated_agent.py` for a complete LangGraph agent that gates MCP connections through CraftedTrust.

cd python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python trust_gated_agent.py

See `typescript/trust-gated-client.ts` for a TypeScript MCP client that checks trust scores before connecting.

cd typescript
npm install
npx tsx trust-gated-client.ts
