Assay runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 53 installs a week from npm. Last commit 8 Aug 2026.
x402 service-quality oracle: check a service's paid-probe quality tier and score before paying it.
What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
Connect this server
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

}This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
ASSAY_URL (Assay instance to query (default: https://assay.nominal-labs.com)), ASSAY_WALLET_KEY (Optional Base wallet private key; when set, get_score auto-purchases full reports ($0.005, hard-capped 0.01 USDC/call)).
