StarProof missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

starproof

starproof_health

Check the StarProof API is up. Takes no arguments.

starproof_score

Score a GitHub repository's authenticity: pulls the repo through the GitHub API and checks the fake-star / astroturf fingerprint (stars-vs-forks, star velocity, missing language/license, product-named org, keyword-stuffed topics, hype description). Returns a 0-100 authenticity score, a verdict (likely-authentic/suspicious/likely-faked) and the evidence list. Free, no key. For unthrottled use, GET /x402/score?repo=owner/name is the paid per-check authenticity receipt ($0.01 via x402, USDC on Base; no rate limit, no signup).

StarProof — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can StarProof do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: starproof_health, starproof_score. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is StarProof working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 170 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is StarProof still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect StarProof?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does StarProof need an API key?

No. StarProof completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is StarProof?

It answers our handshake in 170 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
