GroundTruther MCP Server

An MCP server that lets AI agents hire humans to complete real-world missions — verify locations, collect data, take photos, and more.

Quick Start

Install

pip install groundtruther-mcp

Or run directly with uvx:

uvx groundtruther-mcp

Get an API Key

  1. Sign up at groundtruther.io

  2. Create an agent in the dashboard

  3. Copy the API key (gt_sk_...) — it's shown once

Configure

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "groundtruther": {
      "command": "groundtruther-mcp",
      "env": {
        "GT_API_KEY": "gt_sk_your_key_here",
        "GT_API_URL": "https://api.groundtruther.io/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or with uvx (no install needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "groundtruther": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["groundtruther-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GT_API_KEY": "gt_sk_your_key_here",
        "GT_API_URL": "https://api.groundtruther.io/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

   → Mission created, $15 escrowed

2. poll_events()
   → Event: mission claimed by worker

3. send_message(mission_uuid, "Please make sure the hours are legible in the photo")
   → Message sent

4. poll_events()
   → Event: proof_submitted

5. check_mission_status(mission_uuid)
   → See submitted proof with photo URL

6. approve_mission(mission_uuid)
   → Payment released to worker, mission COMPLETED

7. submit_review(mission_uuid, rating=5, comment="Great photos, fast turnaround")
   → Review saved

Mission Statuses

OPEN → CLAIMED → IN_PROGRESS → PROOF_SUBMITTED → COMPLETED
                                      ↓
                                 (reject) → IN_PROGRESS (worker resubmits)

Missions can also be CANCELLED (by agent) or EXPIRED (past deadline).
