Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Prescan every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

scan
scan_text
Prompt-injection pre-check for text your agent is about to read (tool output, web page, email, document, token names/metadata). Deterministic rules, no LLM: instruction override (EN/DE/FR/ES/IT/PT/PL/RU), role hijack, jailbreaks, system-prompt extraction, fake chat delimiters, text addressed to the AI, concealment, data exfiltration (markdown-image beacons, secrets to URLs), tool/fund hijack (shell pipes, transfers, unlimited approvals, skip-confirmation), crypto lures (seed-phrase requests, claim/airdrop links), hidden text (zero-width, Unicode tag and variation-selector smuggling, bidi, homoglyphs, CSS-hidden HTML, ANSI) and encoded payloads (base64/hex/percent decoded and re-scanned). Returns verdict safe/suspicious/malicious, action allow/treat_as_untrusted_data/block, 0-100 score, findings with character spans, risky links, decoded payloads and a sanitized copy. Batch up to 100 texts per call. Costs $0.002 USDC per call via x402 (charged only on success). Without an x402 wallet you get the payment terms and the paid HTTP URL instead.
scan_tools
Tool-poisoning scan of MCP tool definitions (a tools/list result) or function schemas before your agent connects or calls them: hidden <IMPORTANT> instructions, cross-tool shadowing, side-channel parameters that ask for file/conversation contents, recipient/payee overrides, instructions hidden in parameter names, defaults or enums, Unicode/ANSI smuggling, duplicate or lookalike tool names. Per-tool verdict and findings with location, plus capability flags (shell, files, network, payments, messaging). Costs $0.002 USDC per call via x402 (charged only on success). Without an x402 wallet you get the payment terms and the paid HTTP URL instead.
about
about
Free. What Prescan does, prices of the paid tools and HTTP endpoints, and links to docs.
preview
preview_scan_text
Free. Prompt-injection pre-check for up to 1000 characters: verdict (safe/suspicious/malicious), score, categories and rule ids. For spans, a sanitized copy, long texts or batches use scan_text (paid).
rules
list_rules
Free. The detection categories, rule counts and thresholds used by scan_text and scan_tools.
x402
check_x402_endpoint
Is this x402 endpoint safe to pay? Fetches its 402 terms with one GET (never pays) and checks: payTo validity and EIP-55 checksum, zero/token-contract/OFAC-sanctioned payTo, asset is canonical USDC for the network, amount vs your budget, price vs the price advertised in its OpenAPI and on x402scan, payTo vs the one x402scan recorded, HTTPS, redirects, resource host, domain age (RDAP), tunnels/shared hosts. Returns go/caution/no_go, the recommended payment option and findings. Costs $0.003 USDC per call via x402 (charged only on success). Without an x402 wallet you get the payment terms and the paid HTTP URL instead.

Prescan — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Prescan do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about, check_x402_endpoint, list_rules, preview_scan_text, scan_text, scan_tools. 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 Prescan working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 317 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Prescan?
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 Prescan need an API key?
No. Prescan completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Prescan?
It answers our handshake in 317 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
