Capabilities

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.

Builds a file path from a variable site/assumptions/check-model.mjs:19
for (const [name, digest] of Object.entries(ledger.sources)) assert.equal(hash(fs.readFileSync(path.join(repo, name))), digest, name);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

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.

Available tools 7

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

popcorn
popcorn_catalog
Read the live catalog, offer, and published verification keys. Free; no payment.
popcorn_hash
Hash public bytes on this remote server. Submitted text reaches the server: hash private work locally instead. Free; no onward request or payment.
popcorn_sample
Check the public October 14 TAIN 2.0 receipt and a changed-digest control. No inputs, wallet, payment, or outbound request. Historical evidence, not a fresh clock. Bundled sample keys do not independently establish issuer identity.
popcorn_time
Request signed current-time evidence. Defaults to a free unpaid 402 challenge. A fresh receipt costs exactly $0.001 USDC on Base. Payment requires owner approval, approve_payment:true, and a caller-signed payment_signature. No server wallet or private key. No automatic retry. Verify evidence and account for client round-trip time before a deadline decision.
popcorn_verify
Verify a time or witness receipt using caller-trusted JWKS and expected values. Digest-only for witness payloads. No outbound request or payment. Caller keys do not establish issuer identity; a signature grants no authority.
popcorn_verify_v2
Verify TAIN 2.0 evidence against keys fetched from the fixed POPCORN issuer URL. Caller jwks is replaced with published keys, including predecessors. Send a digest, never private work. Free; does not grant authority, establish current time, or verify settlement on chain.
popcorn_witness
Witness a SHA-256 digest and fresh caller nonce at a time. Defaults to a free unpaid 402 challenge. One fresh receipt costs exactly $0.001 USDC on Base; requires owner approval, approve_payment:true, and caller-signed payment_signature. Keep work and wallet keys local. No automatic retry. Evidence does not authorize or prove execution of an action.

POPCORN MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can POPCORN MCP do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: popcorn_catalog, popcorn_hash, popcorn_sample, popcorn_time, popcorn_verify, popcorn_verify_v2 and 1 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 POPCORN MCP 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 169 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect POPCORN MCP?
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 POPCORN MCP need an API key?
No. POPCORN MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is POPCORN MCP?
It answers our handshake in 169 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use POPCORN MCP?
The npm package @violetclaire/popcorn-mcp was installed 302 times in the last week. Week over week that is +695%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is POPCORN MCP open source?
No, and the distinction matters: it ships its own licence file rather than a standard open-source licence. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
