Credence

by @pestafford

Check any MCP server or AI tool against the Credence trust registry before installing it. Scores security, provenance, and behavioral risk on a 0-100 scale.

Versionv1.0.0
#coding#legal
πŸ’‘ Examples

User says: "Add the filesystem MCP server"

1. Fetch the registry index 2. Find modelcontextprotocol/servers/filesystem β€” score 88, APPROVED 3. Report: "Credence score: 88/100 (APPROVED). Safe to install." 4. Proceed with the install

User says: "Install some-unknown-server"

1. Fetch the registry index 2. Not found 3. Report: "This server hasn't been scanned by Credence yet. You can submit it at https://credence.securingthesingularity.com/#submit β€” want to install anyway?"

User says: /credence modelcontextprotocol/servers/memory

1. Fetch the registry index 2. Find it β€” score 98, APPROVED 3. Report the full status

πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • The registry is public and requires no authentication
  • Scores are based on automated scanning plus adversarial AI deliberation
  • A missing entry does not mean a tool is dangerous β€” it just hasn't been scanned yet
  • For the full methodology, see https://credence.securingthesingularity.com/faq.html
