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

verify

verify_answer

Check an entire AI answer: open every source it cited, say which are real, which are missing or invented, and which are merely paywalled. Returns a PUBLIC receipt URL you can cite as proof. Call before storing or repeating another model's answer — an invented source that enters your state is re-reasoned over on every later run. Costs $1.00 in USDC.

verify_claim

Independently verify a claim against a real check — an HTTP fetch, a file, or a command — instead of taking an assertion on trust. Call it on the premise BEFORE committing to a multi-step plan that depends on it, and to confirm work another agent reports as done. A false premise caught here costs $0.35; caught at the end of the plan it costs the whole plan. Costs $0.35 in USDC.

verify_source

Confirm a URL is reachable and actually says what it is claimed to say, BEFORE you spend a long context reading or acting on it. Catches dead links, pages that changed, and pages that do not support the claim attached to them. One cheap call here replaces a full fetch-and-reason pass that ends in nothing. Costs $0.20 in USDC.

answer

answer_share

Ask a live AI assistant a buyer question and report whether a given brand is named, at what position, and which competitors appear instead. Use for competitive and market research that reflects what assistants say right now. Costs $0.75 in USDC.

pricing

pricing

What each Whysaid verification costs and how to pay. Free.

provenance

check_provenance

Detect whether a piece of text was model-generated and whether this system has emitted something materially identical before. Call before writing to long-term memory: model output that gets re-ingested comes back later as a trusted fact, and every downstream run that reasons over it is wasted work you will not be able to trace. Costs $0.25 in USDC.

report

report_waste

Record work your agent run spent money on and then threw away, and get back your waste rate — wasted spend as a share of total spend. Agent waste never raises an exception, so it is invisible to normal monitoring; this is the ledger for it. Report a discarded plan, a wrong target, a retry, or a call that returned nothing usable. Free.

waste

waste_report

Read the agent-integrity ledger: total spend, spend that produced nothing usable, the waste rate, and a breakdown by failure kind and by agent. Self-reported and independently detected waste are reported separately — an agent grading its own work is not evidence. Free.

Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answer_share, check_provenance, pricing, report_waste, verify_answer, verify_claim and 2 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 Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 20000 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share?

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 Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share need an API key?

No. Whysaid — Verify claims, sources & AI answer share completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
