  2. 02Seller credibility signals
  3. 03Scam and phishing detection
  4. 04Risk score and verdict

Details

From the project README

PurchaseIQ MCP Server

Pre-purchase trust intelligence for AI agents. One tool call before checkout: product recalls (46,000+ records across US/EU/CA/FR), seller credibility, scam and phishing signals, and an AI trust verdict, aggregated from 15+ verified sources.

This repository hosts the MCP Registry manifest for the hosted PurchaseIQ server. The server itself is remote — there is nothing to install or run.

Endpoint

https://purchaseiq.io/api/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless JSON-RPC over POST). Registry name: io.purchaseiq/mcp.

Connect

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http purchaseiq https://purchaseiq.io/api/mcp

Cline (VS Code) — add to cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline panel → MCP Servers → Configure MCP Servers). The "type" field is required: without it Cline defaults to the legacy SSE transport, and this server is POST-only streamable HTTP, so the connection fails with a 405.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purchaseiq": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://purchaseiq.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then reload the window (Command Palette → Developer: Reload Window). Step-by-step agent instructions: llms-install.md.

Cursor, Claude Desktop & other MCP clients — add to your MCP config (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purchaseiq": {
      "url": "https://purchaseiq.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the endpoint URL.

ChatGPT — Settings → Connectors → Create (developer mode) → paste the endpoint URL.

The tool: analyze_purchase

Pass whatever the agent has — all inputs optional, at least one required:

InputDescription
urlProduct or store URL
companySeller or company name
productProduct name or description
barcodeEAN, GTIN, or UPC barcode
countryISO country code (default: US)

Response is a compact agent verdict:

{
  "verdict": "caution",
  "score": 55,
  "topFlags": [
    "Domain registered 3 months ago",
    "No company registration found",
    "SSL valid, TLS 1.3"
  ],
  "reason": "Very new domain with no verifiable company behind it."
}

verdict is proceed, caution, or avoid. score is 0–100. topFlags lists up to three highest-priority signals, dangers first.

Limits & API keys

  • Free tier: 10 trust checks (tools/call) per day per IP. Protocol handshakes (initialize, tools/list) are always free.
  • API key: send Authorization: Bearer <key> to the same endpoint — no daily limit. Get a key at purchaseiq.io/mcp.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
