Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server quality scoring and optimization for the agent economy.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

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).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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": {
    "twig": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@kind-ling/twig"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add twig -- npx -y @kind-ling/twig

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twig": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@kind-ling/twig"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "twig": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@kind-ling/twig"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

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.

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32680 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 5% of the other 32680 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 32680 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Twig 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (0.4.2) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Twig

Agents choose you or they don't. Twig makes them choose you.

Part of Kindling — agent SEO for the agent economy.


Free audit. Paid monitoring. Premium intelligence.

The Problem

Every MCP tool has a description. That description is what an LLM reads when deciding whether to call your service. It's the only signal between "selected" and "skipped".

Most descriptions are garbage.

ToolCurrent DescriptionTwig Score
exa/answer"AI-powered answer"F (28/100)
wordspace/invoke"Run wordspace AI agent loop"F (31/100)
exa/find-similar"Find similar pages"F (33/100)
jupiter/portfolio"Wallet portfolio positions"D (42/100)

These tools are useful. Their descriptions are not. And getting indexed in x402-discovery or MCPay doesn't help if agents skip you because they can't tell what you do.

Getting indexed is table stakes. Twig helps you get chosen.

Live API

Twig is available as a hosted API at https://twig.kind-ling.com

# Health check

curl https://twig.kind-ling.com/health

Analyze any MCP server

curl -X POST https://twig.kind-ling.com/analyze \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"url": "https://your-mcp-server.com/mcp"}'

Optimize descriptions

curl -X POST https://twig.kind-ling.com/optimize \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"url": "https://your-mcp-server.com/mcp", "category": "crypto-defi"}'

Response format:

{

"ok": true, "url": "https://your-mcp-server.com/mcp", "output": "🔍 Analyzing...\n Score: 72/100 (C)\n ..." }

No API key required for public endpoints. Rate limits apply.


Scoring Model

Three dimensions, 0–100 each:

DimensionWeightWhat it measures
Intent Match40%Similarity to top agent queries for your category
Specificity35%Output format, parameters, constraints, examples present?
Differentiation25%Do you stand out from similar services in your category?

Grades: A (85+) · B (70+) · C (55+) · D (40+) · F (<40)

Score below 40 = agents are skipping you.


What Twig Monitors

Your descriptions — re-scored weekly against a live intent corpus. Score changes alert you when your positioning drifts.

Your competitive position — how you rank vs. similar services in your category. Know when a competitor improves and overtakes you.

Intent trends — what agents are searching for this week vs. last. The queries change. Your descriptions need to keep up.

Volume correlation — description changes mapped to x402 volume changes. Close the loop between optimization and revenue.


Optimization Variants

Twig generates 3 variants per tool:

Functional — Action verb + what + return type:

*"Answers questions with real-time web sources. Returns a cited response with source URLs, confidence score, and supporting quotes. Best for research and fact-checking."*

Structured — Input → output with constraints:

*"Web Q&A. Input: question string. Returns: answer (string), sources (URL array), confidence (0-1). Supports: factual queries, current events, research synthesis."*

Contextual — Use case → action → output (highest LLM selectability):

*"Use when you need a factual answer with sourced citations. Queries the web in real-time and synthesizes a response with URLs and supporting quotes. Best for research, fact-checking, and current events."*


Before / After

exa/answer

Before: AI-powered answer ← F (28/100)

After (Contextual): Use when you need a factual answer with sourced citations. Queries the web in real-time and synthesizes a response with source URLs and supporting quotes. Best for research, fact-checking, and current events. ← B (72/100)

wordspace/invoke

Before: Run wordspace AI agent loop ← F (31/100)

After (Structured): Executes a Wordspace multi-step agent workflow. Input: task description and optional context. Returns: completed output, intermediate steps, tool calls made. Best for complex tasks requiring multiple tool invocations. $2/call. ← B (74/100)


Revenue Model

Standard (Monitoring)

Weekly reports are gated via x402 on Base. Set up once, runs automatically.

twig monitor 0xYourWallet --url https://myservice.com/.well-known/agent.json
Enterprise (Performance-based)

For services with existing x402 volume:

  1. twig measure 0xWallet --baseline — record 7-day baseline
  2. Deploy Twig-optimized descriptions
  3. twig measure 0xWallet --compare — measure delta (14–30 days later)
  4. Pay 15% of the revenue increase in USDC on Base
  5. Revenue flat or down? Pay nothing.

Everything measured via on-chain USDC transfer logs. No self-reporting.


Supported Sources

  • A2A Agent Cards (/.well-known/agent.json)
  • MCP servers (JSON-RPC tools/list)
  • OpenAPI specs
  • Local JSON schema files
  • x402-discovery catalog (for competitive analysis)
