AgentGround: Factual Grounding & Claim Cross-Check Verifier for AI Agents

License: MIT MCP Compatible A2A Compatible

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

AgentGround Cross-Check Verifier

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)

Local Engine Latency

0.05ms – 0.17ms (deterministic sub-millisecond local execution)

Public End-to-End Latency

UNKNOWN (pending actual public external request benchmark)

Evaluation Mode

Nonfinancial Free Evaluation Tier enabled (X-Evaluation: free-trial)

2. Quickstart & Installation

Option A: Install via Smithery (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Cline)

npx -y @smithery/cli install Arafel187/agent-ground

Option 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 8092

Option 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)

    }
  }

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 Base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header.

  • 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.
