Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BotOrNot 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 12

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

bot

check_bot

Check a trading bot name or website/domain against BotOrNot's sourced bot directory and every regulator scam record (SEC, CFTC and a state regulator crypto scam tracker). Returns a verdict (watchlist_match, documented_bot, both, no_record) with source URLs. no_record is NOT proof of safety.

get_bot

Full sourced fact sheet for one documented bot by slug (see list_bots): pricing, markets, custody model, red flags with sources, report card, impostor scam reports.

bots

list_bots

List documented trading bots (slug, name, category, report card, official_url). Optionally filter by category or report card result.

changes

get_changes

Recent change events: new regulator cases, new state scam-tracker reports, bot shutdowns, report-card changes and keyword-matched SEC/CFTC releases. Optionally filter by bot slug.

compare

compare_bots

Side-by-side sourced facts and report cards for two bots by slug. No winner is picked.

incidents

get_incidents

Verified security incidents (hacks, exploits, key leaks) at trading bots: date, what happened, users affected, estimated loss as named in the sources, refund status and source URLs. Optionally filter by bot slug.

leaderboard

get_leaderboard

Hyperliquid vault leaderboard from on-chain data: open vaults with >= $100k TVL ranked by 30-day PnL (USD). Refreshed daily. Past results do not predict future ones.

prediction

get_prediction_markets

Prediction-market venues (Kalshi, Polymarket US, Gemini Predictions) with their CFTC status and official sources, plus the documented prediction-market bots and their report cards.

report

get_report_card

The rule-based BotOrNot report card for a bot (Clear record, Caution, Red flags, Closed, Limited data) with the exact sourced facts and rule ids that produced it. Not a rating or investment advice; payouts never change it.

scams

search_scams

Search regulator scam and enforcement records (SEC, CFTC and a state regulator crypto scam tracker) by name, website or keyword. Every record has an official source URL. Regulator complaints are allegations until resolved.

check_telegram

Check a Telegram @handle or t.me link: is it an official handle of a listed trading bot (verified on the bot's own site or docs), a known impersonator listed by the bot's own docs, a look-alike, or not in our records? Matches include custody model and incident history. A match is NOT a safety rating; unknown is not proof of a scam.

website

check_website

Scam signals for a website: exact matches in a state regulator scam tracker, look-alikes of real bot domains (typos, homoglyphs, brand+words), domain age from public RDAP, HTTPS, and optional red-flag phrases in pasted text. Signals, not a verdict.

BotOrNot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BotOrNot do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_bot, check_telegram, check_website, compare_bots, get_bot, get_changes and 6 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 BotOrNot 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 339 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BotOrNot?

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 BotOrNot need an API key?

No. BotOrNot completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BotOrNot?

It answers our handshake in 339 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.
