Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
place
check_place
Call first. Resolves a Google Maps link or place_id and reports whether a trust result is cached, how fresh it is, and a recommendation: use the cached result, or collect and submit the reviews (also when a cached single-source result would benefit from your corroboration). Never contacts Google.
fetch_place_reviews
Fallback for when you cannot reach a browser tab signed in to Google. Queues a server-side pull of the listing's newest reviews (the same worker as the site's form) and scores it. Ask the user first: it spends one of their server-side fetches for the month (check_place's serverFetch block says how many are left). Returns the job's progress; call again with job_id every 10-15 seconds until status is done (the result is then in the response) or failed (nothing is spent). Takes a Maps link, including share short-links, or a place_id. A place that is already scored returns its result without a fetch.
get_place_trust
The cached fraud analysis for a place: verdict (looks_legit / not_sure / past_manipulation / inflated / manipulated) with its label and a one-sentence summary, letter grade, 0-100 trust score, the adjusted rating credible reviewers actually give (vs the headline average), reviewer-mix tiers, review-injection statistics, cross-business duplicate-review evidence, red flags, and provenance. Cache only: on a miss, collect and submit the reviews (see check_place).
submit
submit_reviews
Submit the review feed inside the tool call. Without submission_id this is a one-shot submission of the whole payload (fine up to about 150 reviews). For more, call begin_submission, then send chunks of up to 150 reviews each with the same submission_id and final=false; send final=true with the last chunk (the identity fields may arrive with any chunk). Use this only when you cannot POST to the upload_url yourself (no page fetch, no curl): retyping reviews you already hold in a page or script is slow and error-prone. Returns the trust report when finalized.
submit_takeaways
After a submission is finalized: send the summary you give the user of what recent reviewers praise (pros), complain about (cons) and advise (tips), up to 6 short plain-English sentences per list, drawn from reviews by established accounts rather than one-off ones. It is shown on the place's page next to the trust result and never affects the score. The same lists can travel inside the submission payload as `takeaways` instead. Only an accepted or kept submission can carry one; calling again replaces yours.
begin
begin_submission
Reserves a submission and returns an upload_url. POST the complete JSON payload (format from describe_review_source) to it from your own environment or the user's browser; the HTTP response is the trust report. The URL is a secret that completes the submission under YOUR identity whoever posts to it, so the POST needs no key. Alternatively feed the same submission_id to submit_reviews in inline chunks. Pending submissions expire after 2 hours (or are closed as superseded when you one-shot the same place instead).
describe
describe_review_source
Read this BEFORE scraping. Returns, per platform, the exact submission format: identity fields for the listing, the per-review fields (required vs optional; everything required is visible on the review card), where each lives on the platform's pages, the sort-by-newest and 500-most-recent rules, an example payload, and how to deliver it. Without a platform it lists the supported platforms. Only Google Maps exists today.
finalize
finalize_submission
For a submission fed by inline chunks: validates, scores, stores and returns the report. For one already uploaded to its upload_url: returns the stored report. Pending with nothing uploaded yet: says so.
scored
list_scored_places
The ranked directory of places already analyzed for review fraud, best adjusted rating first (what the site's home and city pages show). 25 per page. Optional city or curated-list filter; the response lists the available cities/lists and their counts.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Is it legit? Reviews trust checker mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around place and submit. 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 Is it legit? Reviews trust checker 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 715 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Is it legit? Reviews trust checker?
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 Is it legit? Reviews trust checker need an API key?
No. Is it legit? Reviews trust checker completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Is it legit? Reviews trust checker?
It answers our handshake in 715 ms on average, which is faster than 13% 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.
