Trust-Gated Agent Examples

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.

Quick Start

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

The Pattern

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

Examples

Python (LangGraph)

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

TypeScript (MCP Client)

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

How It Works

Agent receives task → needs mcp.example.com
         ↓
Agent calls CraftedTrust check_trust("mcp.example.com")
         ↓
Score: 82/100, Grade: B ← Safe
         ↓
Agent connects to mcp.example.com ✓

Agent receives task → needs sketchy-server.xyz
         ↓
Agent calls CraftedTrust check_trust("sketchy-server.xyz")
         ↓
Score: 15/100, Grade: F ← Dangerous
         ↓
Agent refuses: "Server scored F (15/100). Not connecting." ✗

Trust Score Grades

Grade	Score	Meaning
A	90-100	Excellent security practices
B	75-89	Good security, minor improvements possible
C	60-74	Adequate but has gaps
D	40-59	Significant security issues
F	0-39	Critical issues, do not connect
