BotsRated
OfficialSupports x402 payments through the Coinbase Agentic Wallet and lists its paid routes in the Coinbase x402 Bazaar for discovery.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@BotsRatedfind the top 3 x402 providers for image generation by reliability"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
BotsRated: MCP server
Signed checks of paid AI services, before your agent pays.
BotsRated measures paid AI-agent services with signed receipts. BotPulse is a separate digest and alerts product; these measurements do not claim coverage of every delivery outcome.
BotsRated publishes timestamped, receipt-backed measurements of paid x402 agent services on Base:
unpaid probes: status, whether the 402 challenge is valid, latency, quoted vs listed price, and payTo;
paid test-buys, each with its on-chain tx hash.
It reports facts and signed receipts only.
This repository documents the remote MCP server. There is nothing to install or run locally.

Facts bundle (preflight and check)
preflight (the MCP tool and GET /v1/preflight?url=<host>) returns measurements and receipt links. You set your own
thresholds. The response is measurements and a receipt link.
Field | What you get back |
| Whether this host is in the probe record, and the host name |
| Latest unpaid probe: |
| Link to the signed receipt for that probe ( |
|
|
| Directory price and payTo. Directory data is not a probe observation |
| Probe count, how many returned a valid 402, latency. A count in a window |
| Facts only |
check (paid, after the free daily quota) adds measured facts for one host and the last receipts. Those are still
measurements and receipt links.
The payment guard in @botsrated/x402-preflight and botsrated keeps a smaller local bundle from this response
(covered, host, knownPayTos / known_pay_tos, listingPayTo / listing_pay_to, observedNetwork /
observed_network, observedAmount / observed_amount, stale, receiptUrl / receipt_url). Pick a named preset
(warn, carefulBuyer, or dry-run-only) there. The guard does not invent a summary number from these fields.
Paid MCP tools: an unpaid call returns an x402 v2 PaymentRequired tool error (isError, structuredContent with accepts); an x402-aware MCP client (e.g. @x402/mcp) retries with the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]. The same data is on the HTTP routes, payable by any x402 client (e.g. @x402/fetch, Coinbase Agentic Wallet). All three paid routes are also listed in the Coinbase x402 Bazaar.
Free daily quota: the first 25 checks and 3 reports per client IP (IPv6 per /48) per UTC day are answered without payment; after that the normal x402 402 applies. /v1/find spends one check from that same quota. /v1/best has no free quota. Preflight stays free, no key, rate limits. No accounts, prepaid balances or stored credit. The badge is free and earned, never sold. Details: https://botsrated.com/pricing

Plans (seller alerts and data plans)
One x402 USDC payment on Base buys one 30-day period. There is no balance and no auto-renewal. Cancelling stops delivery. The dataset stays free.
Pro: watch up to 50 sellers or tools; alert to webhook, Slack, Discord or email. $19 / month by card + tax, or $29 / 30 days USDC. Tools you rely on (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Pinecone, Supabase) use those same 50 slots. No separate plan.
Plan | Price per 30 days | What you get |
| $0 | Watch 1 seller. Daily digest: one email per UTC day when its facts change. Slack, Discord, and webhook need a paid plan ( |
| $29 | Up to 50 sellers or tools; a signed webhook within one probe cycle of a change (payTo, quoted price, valid 402, listing, freshness) |
| $49 | Bearer token for |
| $199 | Same, 600 requests/min, plus the change-event export ( |
custom | $499+ per 30 days | Volume or bulk delivery; support terms agreed per contract: botsrated@gmail.com |
Paid BotPulse plans are retired; the feed stays free. Plans already bought keep working until their 30-day period ends. Free reads stay at https://botsrated.com/v1/botpulse/latest and https://botsrated.com/v1/botpulse/feed.json. Alerts on tools use Pro's 50 slots.
Subscribe with POST https://botsrated.com/v1/alerts/subscribe (free) or POST https://botsrated.com/v1/subscribe/{plan} (x402). The body and the webhook are checked before any 402. The webhook must answer the verification POST with the challenge; it must be https on a public DNS name, and redirects are not followed. Free alerts are email only: one confirmation link first, then plain-text alerts from alerts@botsrated.com. Slack, Discord, and webhook delivery need a paid plan (paid_channel_required on the free plan). Paid alert plans can use a signed webhook (Ed25519, botsrated-prober-1, see below, over {"m":"<timestamp>.<raw body>"}), a Slack incoming webhook or Discord channel webhook (plain text, not signed), or the same email path. Manage a subscription with GET /v1/subscription and POST /v1/subscription/{cancel,update} plus Authorization: Bearer <token>. Full details: https://botsrated.com/v1/plans

Signing keys (Ed25519)
Raw 32-byte public keys, base64. Fingerprint = sha256 of the raw key bytes. A signature is valid for an object whose own timestamp
(ts, or generated_at for snapshots) lies in [valid from, valid until). The live key set at /.well-known/botsrated-key is authoritative; this table is an out-of-band copy to compare against.
