Available tools 22

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

verify
verify-issued-gmv
Verify a supplied spend/GMV artifact bundle. Accepts a spend attestation token, GMV token, GMV inclusion proof, and reward commitment token, then verifies: (1) spend token signature is valid, (2) GMV token signature is valid, (3) spend is in the GMV Merkle tree, (4) reward commitment is valid, (5) all spend IDs match across artifacts. This is portable artifact verification; it does not by itself assert payout, chain finality, or validator quorum unless the supplied anchor or commitment artifacts are present and accepted by the route.
verify-receipt
Preview DKIM verification of a billing email without creating a spend or earning sats. Returns extracted invoice data (vendor, amount, date, DKIM status). The full email is required because DKIM signatures are computed over the original RFC 2822 message bytes — the signature cannot be verified without them. The email is discarded after verification.
verify-reward-commitment
Verify a reward commitment token's cryptographic integrity. Checks that the reward Merkle tree is valid, the batch signature is authentic, and the reward amounts match the committed values. Reward commitments bind point/sat allocations to specific spends before payout, preventing retroactive manipulation.
agent
get-agent-capabilities
Get Crinkl's canonical external agent capability catalog. Returns live authority levels, delegated capabilities, human-only governance controls, approval boundaries, delegation model, and each gateway/MCP capability with route, tool name, source of truth, and lifecycle boundaries.
get-agent-me
Get your agent's submission count, earned sats, and wallet-level stats. Shows both per-API-key numbers (your submissions) and wallet-wide numbers (all sources including the human's manual scans). Returns satsPerReceipt (current rate).
spend
get-spend-distribution
Get the geographic and category distribution of verified spends over a trailing window. Returns a breakdown by store category and CBSA (Core Based Statistical Area) metro code, enabling analysis of where and how verified commerce is distributed across the United States.
get-spend-signals
Get recent verified spend activity signals from the Crinkl network. Each signal represents a cryptographically attested receipt that has passed OCR extraction, store resolution, and hard verification. Signals include store name, category (e.g. Grocery & Supermarkets, Gas & Convenience), CBSA metro code, and spend amount — but no personally identifiable information. Use resolve-cbsa to convert CBSA codes to metro area names.
claim
claim-api-key
Poll for the API key after the human approves the pairing code in the Crinkl PWA. Returns 202 while pending, 200 with the API key once approved, 410 if expired. Poll every 5 seconds. No authentication required.
cumulative
get-cumulative-gmv
Get cumulative Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) from the public cumulative feed. The live Crinkl site displays this live beta cumulative total on top of the finalized alpha base; provide startDate to bound the window explicitly. Returns a cryptographically signed token containing total USD cents, spend count, and computation timestamp.
daily
get-daily-gmv
Get the signed GMV summary for a specific calendar date (UTC). Returns the verified spend count, total USD cents, and a cryptographic signature from the Crinkl authority. Each daily GMV token is independently verifiable using the issuer's Ed25519 public key.
gmv
get-gmv-inclusion-proof
Get a Merkle inclusion proof that a specific spend is included in a daily GMV total. Returns the spend leaf hash, sibling hashes for the Merkle path, and the GMV root hash. This cryptographic proof allows anyone to independently verify that a spend was counted in the reported GMV without trusting the server.
issuer
get-issuer-keys
Get the Crinkl authority's Ed25519 public key used to sign all attestation tokens. This key can be used to independently verify the signature on any spend attestation token, GMV token, or distribution token issued by the Crinkl protocol. The key is returned in base64 format.
merchant
get-merchant-summary
Get aggregated merchant and category distribution across all verified spends. Shows top store brands, category breakdown (grocery, restaurant, gas, etc.), and spend concentration metrics. All data is derived from cryptographically verified receipt attestations.
pair
pair-agent
Start the human-authorized agent pairing flow. Generates a 4-character code that a human approves in the Crinkl PWA to authorize the agent. Returns the code and expiration time (10 minutes). No authentication required.
protocol
get-protocol-summary
Get a concise explanation of what Crinkl is and how the protocol works. Use this first if you have no prior context about Crinkl. Returns a plain-text overview of the verification pipeline, token types, and settlement model.
recent
get-recent-issued-proofs
Get recent gateway-issued artifact bundles for portable spend/GMV verification. Bundles can include a spend attestation token, GMV inclusion proof, reward commitment token, and optional batch anchor. These artifacts support independent per-step verification, but they are not by themselves proof of Bitcoin settlement, chain finality, or validator quorum. rewardCommitmentToken and batchAnchor may be null for recent spends because reward commitments are batched asynchronously. Check the 'steps' array and 'ok' field for per-step verification results.
resolve
resolve-cbsa
Resolve a CBSA (Core Based Statistical Area) code to its metro area name. CBSA codes appear in spend signals and distribution data as 5-digit codes (e.g. '35620'). This tool converts them to human-readable names (e.g. '35620' → 'New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ'). Also handles non-metro codes like 'non-metro:US-TN'.
reward
get-reward-policy
Get the current Crinkl reward policy. Returns the active policy version, SHA-256 policy hash, reward parameters (referral bonuses, base points), category multipliers (grocery 1.5×, dining 1.5×, etc.), $CRINKL token holding tier multipliers, and the latest reserve checkpoint (BTC price, sats/receipt, coverage ratio). All values are deterministic — the policy hash covers the full parameter set. Updated daily.
settlement
get-settlement-summary
Get reward settlement statistics for supported reward rails. Returns the current BTC price used for reward calculations, sats-per-receipt rate, reported Lightning Network payouts, total sats claimed by users, and wallets with balance. This endpoint reports settlement metrics; it is not a chain-finality or payout-proof verifier.
submit
submit-receipt
Submit a DKIM-verified billing email to mint a spend token and earn sats. The full email is required because DKIM signatures are computed over the original RFC 2822 message bytes. After verification, only vendor, date, total, and currency are retained in the identity-free spend token — the email is discarded. Returns 201 (verified, sats queued), 202 (vendor queued for review), 409 (duplicate), 422 (validation error), or 429 (rate limited).
trailing
get-trailing-gmv
Get a rolling N-day GMV trend summary. Returns daily verified GMV figures for the trailing window, enabling trend analysis of verified commerce volume. Each day's figure is backed by individually signed spend attestation tokens.
vendors
get-vendors
Get the currently approved DKIM vendor domains exposed by the public agent endpoint. Standalone agents use this list to seed Gmail searches; unknown vendors are queued for review when submitted. No authentication required.

Crinkl Commerce MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Crinkl Commerce MCP do?
It exposes 22 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: claim-api-key, get-agent-capabilities, get-agent-me, get-cumulative-gmv, get-daily-gmv, get-gmv-inclusion-proof and 16 more. 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 →
What is Crinkl Commerce MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around verify, agent and spend. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Crinkl Commerce MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 91 checks got a reply (96.7%), average response time 613 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Crinkl Commerce MCP as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Crinkl Commerce MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Crinkl Commerce MCP need an API key?
No. Crinkl Commerce MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 22 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Crinkl Commerce MCP?
It answers our handshake in 613 ms on average, which is faster than 15% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
