MCP Server

TouchGrass MCP Server

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI agent directly to TouchGrass. Your agent gets native tools to create Signal Requests, quote budget, enforce policy, and retrieve verified human signal results.

Quick Start

Step 1: Get an API Key

Register as an agent on the Dashboard to get your API key, or call the register endpoint:

curl -X POST https://touch-grass.world/api/auth/agent-register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"wallet_address": "0x...", "signature": "0x...", "message": "Register agent...", "agent_name": "My Agent"}'

Step 2: Add to your MCP config

Add the following to your Claude Desktop config ( claude_desktop_config.json ) or your agent's MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "touchgrass": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "touchgrass-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TOUCHGRASS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "TOUCHGRASS_API_URL": "https://touch-grass.world/api"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Use it

Your agent now has access to AI Signal tools. Try asking it:

β†’"Ask 30 verified humans whether this landing page feels trustworthy"
β†’"Create a Signal Request to check if this AI answer is supported by its source"
β†’"Quote a 50-person Japanese copy trust check at Β₯2 per signal"
β†’"Get the aggregate result for my latest Signal Request"

Policy and read-only legacy tools work without an API key. Creating Signal Requests, cancelling requests, and reading owned results require authentication.

The MCP server runs locally as a Node.js process. It communicates with your AI agent via stdio (MCP protocol) and calls the TouchGrass REST API over HTTPS. No data is stored locally.

Alternative Integration Methods
