Allows CrewAI agents to connect to AgentGround as a fact-checking service, enabling verification of agent assertions against research sources and detection of hallucinations.
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., "@AgentGround Cross-Check Verifiercross-check these claims against my sources and flag any hallucinations"
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.
AgentGround: Factual Grounding & Claim Cross-Check Verifier for AI Agents
AgentGround is a deterministic factual grounding and cross-check verification engine built for autonomous AI agents, multi-agent systems, and research pipelines.
It eliminates hallucinations, detects numerical drift and entity mismatch, audits unverified assertions, and outputs sentence-level verification verdicts and factual grounding confidence scores (0.0 to 100.0).
1. Core Specification
Field | Value |
Name |
|
Job To Be Done | Cross-verify candidate agent statements against provided source texts to compute factual grounding, detect unverified assertions/hallucinations, and output machine-readable confidence scores. |
When To Use | Immediately after web search or document scraping; prior to executing irreversible tool actions, on-chain transactions, or filing research briefs. |
Protocol Support | Model Context Protocol (MCP stdio), A2A Protocol v1.0, HTTP REST JSON, x402 v2 Bazaar |
Benchmark Quality | 9/9 CURRENT BENCHMARK SCENARIOS PASSED (Supported, Unsupported, Numeric Mismatch, Entity Mismatch, Partial Evidence, Contradiction, Insufficient Evidence, Adversarial Overlap, Semantic Paraphrasing) |

2. Quickstart & Installation
Option A: Install via Smithery (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Cline)
npx -y @smithery/cli install Arafel187/agent-groundOption B: Run via Python directly
git clone https://github.com/Arafel187/agent-ground.git
cd agent-ground
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run as Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server over stdio
python agent_ground.py --mcp
# Or run as HTTP REST / A2A server
python agent_ground.py 8092Option C: Run as Canonical Remote MCP Gateway (Streamable HTTP /mcp)
# Starts high-throughput remote invocation gateway on port 8095
python agent_ground.py --remote
# Healthcheck
curl http://localhost:8095/health
# MCP Streamable HTTP Endpoint (Canonical MCP lifecycle: initialize, tools/list, tools/call)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8095/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "clientInfo": {"name": "ExampleAgent", "version": "1.0.0"}}}'
# Direct Claim Verification (REST)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8095/api/v1/verify-claims \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"claims": ["Base network is an Ethereum Layer 2."], "sources": ["Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 incubated by Coinbase."]}'Glama MCP Inspector Compatibility
AgentGround's remote gateway is natively compatible with Glama MCP Inspector:
Connect directly via URL parameter:
https://glama.ai/mcp/inspector?servers=[{"name":"AgentGround","url":"https://agentground.atlether.trade/mcp"}]Supports standard Streamable HTTP (
/mcp), Server-Sent Events (/sse), and legacy JSON-RPC (/rpc).Fully compliant with both MCP 2026-07-28 (self-contained requests) and MCP 2024-11-05 (initialize handshake).
3. Autonomous Multi-Agent Framework Integration
CrewAI (MCPServerHTTP)
Connect any CrewAI researcher or fact-checker agent directly to AgentGround without writing custom verification code:
from crewai import Agent
from crewai.mcp import MCPServerHTTP
fact_checker = Agent(
role="Factual Grounding Specialist",
goal="Verify assertions and detect hallucinations against research sources",
mcps=[
MCPServerHTTP(
url="https://agentground.atlether.trade/mcp",
streamable=True
)
]
)AutoGen (StreamableHttpMcpToolAdapter)
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import StreamableHttpServerParams, StreamableHttpMcpToolAdapter
params = StreamableHttpServerParams(url="https://agentground.atlether.trade/mcp")
verifier_tool = StreamableHttpMcpToolAdapter(params=params)Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

6. Commercial Pricing & Real Settlement (USDC / USDT)
AgentGround operates on transparent, commercial pricing with zero hidden fees.
Tier | Price (Hypothesis) | Allowance / Rate | Features & Delivery |
Free Evaluation | $0.00 | 60 requests/minute | Public evaluation via hosted gateway ( |
Metered Prepaid | $0.001 / query | 1,000 queries per $1.00 USDC/USDT (min pack $5.00) | Pay-as-you-go balance, priority queue, programmatic invoice generation (Pricing Hypothesis). |
Pro Monthly | 25 USDC / month | 50,000 queries/month included ($0.0008 overage) | Dedicated API capacity, burst allowance (Pricing Hypothesis). |
Enterprise Pilot | 250 USDC | 90-day pilot | Dedicated high-concurrency instance, custom domain schema, engineering integration support (Negotiable Pilot Scope). |
Note on Pricing: All tiers represent commercial pricing hypotheses open to discussion and tailoring for specific customer workflows. No contractual uptime SLAs are offered without explicit prior approval from the owner.
How to Request an Invoice Programmatically
Agents and developers can programmatically request an invoice and lock in capacity:
curl -X POST https://agentground.atlether.trade/api/v1/request-invoice \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"customer_ref": "your-agent-id@example.com",
"product_id": "PA-001",
"tier": "METERED_PREPAID",
"currency": "USDC",
"amount_usd": 10.0
}'Financial Boundary Notice: In accordance with our security policy, all settlement instructions are reviewed and approved by the owner (OWNER_SETTLEMENT_APPROVAL_REQUIRED). Autonomous agents do not hold private keys or execute unauthorized fund transfers.
7. Error States & Status Codes
200 OK: Successful verification execution.400 Bad Request: Malformed JSON or missing required arrays (claims,sources).402 Payment Required: Mainnet mode when not using the free evaluation tier. Includes RFC/CDP compliant x402 Base64PAYMENT-REQUIREDheader.413 Payload Too Large: Request body exceeds 1MB limit.500 Server Error: Internal verification engine failure.
7. Capability Limits & Edge Cases
Deterministic Lexical & Semantic Overlap: Computes exact numeric equality, named entity containment, antonym polarities, and token overlap.
Explicit Source Requirement: Does not perform autonomous open-web crawling inside the verification call (source documents or snippets must be supplied by the caller).
Throughput: Sub-millisecond deterministic evaluation; optimal for 1 to 50 claims per request.
