About 🦉 Trustwise MCP Server
Trustwise MCP Server exposes evaluation metrics for developers assessing LLM response quality, safety, alignment, and performance. Its tools cover content attributes as well as inference cost and carbon estimates.
Key features
- 01Evaluate faithfulness and relevance
- 02Detect PII and prompt-injection risk
- 03Measure clarity, tone, and helpfulness
- 04Check policy and instruction adherence
- 05Estimate inference cost and carbon footprint
Use cases
- 01Assess LLM response safety and reliability
- 02Evaluate generated content for clarity and alignment
- 03Estimate inference cost and carbon impact
- 04Add evaluation checks to agent or AI pipelines
MCP support
Exposes Trustwise evaluation metrics as tools that MCP clients can call to assess model responses.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm -e TW_API_KEY ghcr.io/trustwiseai/trustwise-mcp-server:latestTW_API_KEYSecretLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
ghcr.io/trustwiseai/trustwise-mcp-server:lateststdioTools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project README🦉 Trustwise MCP Server
The Trustwise MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a suite of advanced evaluation tools for AI safety, alignment, and performance. It enables developers and AI tools to programmatically assess the quality, safety, and cost of LLM outputs using Trustwise's industry-leading metrics.
💡 Use Cases
- Evaluating the safety and reliability of LLM responses.
- Measuring alignment, clarity, and helpfulness of AI-generated content.
- Estimating the carbon footprint and cost of model inference.
- Integrating robust evaluation into AI pipelines, agents, or orchestration frameworks.
🛠️ Prerequisites
- A Trustwise API Key (get one here)
- Docker; Follow the install instructions
📦 Installation & Running
Claude Desktop
To connect the Trustwise MCP Server to Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"trustwise": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"TW_API_KEY",
"ghcr.io/trustwiseai/trustwise-mcp-server:latest"
],
"env": {
"TW_API_KEY": "<YOUR_TRUSTWISE_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
To point to a specific Trustwise Instance - under env, also set the following optional environment variable:
TW_BASE_URL: "<YOUR_TRUSTWISE_INSTANCE_URL>"
e.g "TW_BASE_URL": "https://api.yourdomain.ai"
Cursor
To connect the Trustwise MCP Server to cursor, add the following configuration to your cursor settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"trustwise": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"TW_API_KEY",
"-e",
"TW_BASE_URL",
"ghcr.io/trustwiseai/trustwise-mcp-server:latest"
],
"env": {
"TW_API_KEY": "<YOUR_TRUSTWISE_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
Replace <YOUR_TRUSTWISE_API_KEY> with your actual Trustwise API key.
🧰 Tools
The Trustwise MCP Server exposes the following tools (metrics). Each tool can be called with the specified arguments to evaluate a model response.

pii_metric | Detect PII in a response |
prompt_injection_metric | Detect prompt injection risk |
summarization_metric | Evaluate summarization quality |
clarity_metric | Evaluate clarity of a response |
formality_metric | Evaluate formality of a response |
helpfulness_metric | Evaluate helpfulness of a response |
sensitivity_metric | Evaluate sensitivity of a response |
simplicity_metric | Evaluate simplicity of a response |
tone_metric | Evaluate tone of a response |
toxicity_metric | Evaluate toxicity of a response |
refusal_metric | Detect refusal to answer or comply with the query |
completion_metric | Evaluate completion of the query’s instruction |
adherence_metric | Evaluate adherence to a given policy or instruction |
stability_metric | Evaluate stability (consistency) of multiple responses |
carbon_metric | Estimate carbon footprint of a response |
cost_metric | Estimate cost of a response |

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.
