How to Install BotsRated in Claude Desktop

Signed, timestamped measurements of paid x402 sellers and remote MCP servers.

What BotsRated does

BotsRated publishes timestamped, signed measurements of paid x402 agent services on Base and of remote MCP servers: unpaid probes (status, valid 402 challenge, latency, quoted vs listed price and payTo; MCP handshake state and tool list). Where we have test-bought a host, those receipts carry the Base tx hash. Facts and signed receipts only; no scores or grades. Free over HTTP per client per UTC day: first 25 checks (GET /v1/check?host=) and 3 reports (GET /v1/report/{host}); /v1/best has no free quota. Free: MCP tool preflight and GET /v1/preflight. Beyond the free quota, paid via x402 (USDC on Base, charged only on a 2xx answer): GET /v1/check?host= $0.001, GET /v1/report/{host} $0.002, GET /v1/best?task= $0.01.
