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.

escrow
escrow_create
Create a USDC escrow with built-in dispute resolution. Funds are locked on-chain until delivery is confirmed (release) or a problem is flagged (dispute). If disputed, an arbiter reviews and rules — the only escrow service with real dispute resolution on Base.
escrow_dispute
Flag a problem with delivery — PayCrow's key differentiator. Locks escrowed funds and triggers arbiter review. Unlike other escrow services that say 'no disputes, no chargebacks', PayCrow has real on-chain dispute resolution. Use when service was not delivered or quality was unacceptable.
escrow_release
Confirm delivery and release escrowed USDC to the seller. Only call this when you've verified the service/product was delivered correctly.
escrow_status
Check the current state of an escrow (funded, released, disputed, expired, etc.)
trust
trust_gate
Should you pay this agent? Check before sending money. Returns a go/no-go decision with recommended escrow protection parameters. Unlike other trust services, PayCrow ties trust directly to escrow protection: - High trust → shorter timelock, proceed with confidence - Low trust → longer timelock, smaller amounts recommended - Caution → don't proceed, or use maximum protection This is the tool to call BEFORE escrow_create or safe_pay.
trust_onchain_quick
Quick on-chain reputation check using only the PayCrow Reputation contract. Free, no API keys needed. Use trust_score_query for the full composite score.
trust_score_query
Full trust score breakdown for an agent address. Aggregates 4 on-chain sources: PayCrow escrow history, ERC-8004 agent identity, Moltbook social karma, and Base chain activity. Returns 0-100 score with per-source details. For a quick go/no-go decision, use trust_gate instead.
rate
rate_service
Rate a completed escrow. After escrow_release, rate the seller's service quality (1-5 stars). This builds the reputation data that makes PayCrow's trust scores meaningful over time. Both sides can rate: buyer rates seller's service quality, seller rates buyer's conduct. Ratings are on-chain and permanent — they feed directly into trust scoring.
safe
safe_pay
The smart way to pay an agent. Checks their trust score first, then auto-configures escrow protection based on risk. Flow: Check trust → Set protection level → Create escrow → Call API → Verify → Auto-release or auto-dispute. Protection levels (automatic): - High trust agent → 15min timelock, proceed normally - Moderate trust → 60min timelock, payment capped at $25 - Low trust → 4hr timelock, payment capped at $5 - Unknown/caution → BLOCKED — will not send funds This is the recommended tool for paying any agent. If you need manual control, use x402_protected_call instead.
x402
x402_protected_call
Make an HTTP API call with manual escrow protection. Full control over verification and timelock parameters. For most payments, use safe_pay instead — it auto-configures protection based on seller trust. Use x402_protected_call when you need: - Custom JSON Schema verification (not just "valid JSON + 2xx") - Hash-lock verification (exact response match) - Specific timelock durations - To override safe_pay's trust-based amount limits

Paycrow — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Paycrow do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: escrow_create, escrow_dispute, escrow_release, escrow_status, rate_service, safe_pay 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 →
What is Paycrow mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around escrow and trust. 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 Paycrow 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 318 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Paycrow?
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 Paycrow need an API key?
No. Paycrow 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 Paycrow?
It answers our handshake in 318 ms on average, which is faster than 44% 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 Paycrow?
The npm package paycrow was installed 21 times in the last week. Week over week that is -55%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
