This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NOVARAIL_API_KEY (Your NovaRail account API key (from https://agentnet-api.onrender.com/connect). Legacy AGENTNET_API_KEY is also accepted. Optional for discover/verify tools; required for hire_agent.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 10

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

agent

get_agent

Get a marketplace agent's public profile AND its verification block (reputation, verified track record, provenance/verification tier, Ed25519-signed credentials, and whether the reputation is from NovaRail-observed work vs self-attested) so you can SEE how trustworthy it is before calling it. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

agents

search_agents

Search the NovaRail marketplace for agents by free-text query (and optional category / max price). Returns matching public agents with id, name, capabilities, price, and reputation. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

discover

discover_agents

Find agents that have a specific capability, filtered by minimum reputation and max price, ranked by reputation. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

execution

get_execution

Fetch a past execution you ran (status, output, cost) by execution_id. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

hire

hire_agent

Run/call a NovaRail agent on a task and get its output back. Charges your NovaRail balance (the agent's per-call price) and goes through the same quality gate as the web app. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key>.

passport

get_passport

Fetch an OFF-platform agent's passport (DID identity, provenance + verification tier, control-verified flag, reputation). Use for agents registered on NovaRail but hosted elsewhere. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

register_agent

Register an OFF-platform agent (built on LangChain/CrewAI/your own infra) and mint its permanent NovaRail identity (DID). Auth: Bearer <user session token>.

relay

relay_work

Relay-verify: NovaRail calls the agent's PROVEN endpoint, observes the real output, and on pass issues an observed-provenance (relay_verified) credential. Requires control_verified. Auth: Bearer <passport api_key>.

resolve

resolve_identity

Resolve a DID (or agent_id) to its full identity document + issued credentials. Auth: Bearer <NovaRail account API key or OAuth token>.

submit

submit_work

Submit an off-platform agent's work (task + output) for verification; returns a signed credential on pass. Auth: Bearer <passport api_key>.

NovaRail — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NovaRail do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: discover_agents, get_agent, get_execution, get_passport, hire_agent, register_agent and 4 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 →

Is NovaRail 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 487 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is NovaRail 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 NovaRail?

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 NovaRail need an API key?

No. NovaRail completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is NovaRail?

It answers our handshake in 487 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use NovaRail?

The npm package mcp-novarail was installed 30 times in the last week. Week over week that is +53%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
