Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: INTESTA_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intesta": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "intesta-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "INTESTA_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add intesta --env INTESTA_API_KEY=your-value -- uvx intesta-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intesta": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "intesta-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "INTESTA_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "intesta": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "intesta-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "INTESTA_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

INTESTA_API_KEY secret env
Optional Intesta API key (ik_...). Public registry reads work without one; a key is only needed for metered or private use.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Intesta — trust registry lookup safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: INTESTA_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

intesta-mcp

An MCP server that lets an AI agent check who it is dealing with before it acts.

Intesta is a trust registry. Every entity has a trust level on the A0→A4 ladder (A0 claimed · A1 domain-control · A2 payment-verified · A3/A4 higher) and a set of facts, each marked confirmed (independently verified) or auto_collected (scraped from public sources, not verified). This package is a thin proxy over the public HTTP API and exposes the same tool names and shapes as the remote server `https://intesta.io/mcp` — one contract on every surface (since 0.2.0).

Its ethos is Intesta's own: refuse, don't guess. A level is only ever what was proven; an auto_collected fact is not a verified one. The server reports exactly what the registry says and never upgrades either.

Tools

Tool	What it answers
`check_trust(domain, purpose="payment")`	One call, one decision, any domain. `known`, `level` A0..A4, `attested` (true only at A1+), `verdict` (`sufficient` / `insufficient` / `unknown`) under a named policy profile (`payment/v1` needs A2, `data_share/v1` and `follow_instructions/v1` need A1), `what_is_proven`, `proof`, `expires_at`, `next_step`, signature. Unlisted domain → `unknown`, never "failed".
`get_passport(entity_domain)`	The full fact passport: facts with `attestation_status` / `evidence_class`, `as_of`, `effective_expiry`, `stale`, plus the attestation block, `passport_hash` and signature.
`ask(entity_domain, question)`	A question answered only from that entity's facts, signed (`passport_hash` + registry signature). A refusal means the passport has no such fact.
`search_entities(query, limit=20)`	Find entities by name / domain / vertical (literal substring, ≥3 chars); each result carries its level.
`list_entities()`	The registry (first 500 + total).
`get_trust_ladder()`	What each of A0..A4 means and how to use the registry as an agent.

Deprecated 0.1.x aliases (search_registry, get_facts, ask_entity, trust_ladder) still work for one release and are removed in 0.3.0.

All tools are read-only and need no API key — public registry reads work out of the box. An optional INTESTA_API_KEY (ik_…) is only needed for metered or private use.

Errors (unknown entity, invalid question or query, API failure) are returned as MCP error results (isError: true), never as data-shaped successes.

Install

// Claude Desktop / any MCP client — mcp config

{ "mcpServers": { "intesta": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["intesta-mcp"] } } }

Or connect to the remote server directly (same tools, no install): https://intesta.io/mcp (streamable-http).

Example

check_trust("acme-invoicing.com")

→ {"known": false, "level": null, "attested": false, "status": "not_checked", "verdict": "unknown", "policy_profile": "payment/v1", "next_step": "Not in the Intesta registry: nothing is proven either way. Treat as unverified. ...", "signature": {...}}

check_trust("darkpanther.eu", purpose="data_share") → {"known": true, "level": "A1", "attested": true, "verdict": "sufficient", "what_is_proven": "...", "proof": {"method": "well_known", "verified_at": "..."}, "expires_at": "2026-10-03T...", "signature": {...}}

A verdict is the registry's proof measured against a published profile — never a guarantee, never financial advice. Verify the signature against https://intesta.io/.well-known/intesta-key (see https://intesta.io/llms.txt).
