Setup

Option 1: Remote Server (Recommended)

Connect directly to the hosted ScamVerify MCP server. No installation required.

Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scamverify": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://scamverify.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (OAuth - no API key needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scamverify": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://scamverify.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

When using without an API key, Claude Desktop will initiate the OAuth 2.1 flow. You'll be redirected to sign in at scamverify.ai and authorize access.

Cursor / Windsurf / Other MCP Clients:

{
  "type": "streamable-http",
  "url": "https://scamverify.ai/api/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
}

ChatGPT:

ScamVerify is available as a ChatGPT connector. Add it through the ChatGPT plugin/connector settings using:

• MCP URL: https://scamverify.ai/api/mcp

• Auth: OAuth

Option 2: Local Proxy (stdio)

Run a local MCP server that proxies all tool calls to the ScamVerify API. Useful for MCP clients that only support stdio transport.

Install and run:

npm install -g @scamverifyai/scamverify-mcp
SCAMVERIFY_API_KEY=sv_live_... scamverify-mcp

Or run directly with npx:

SCAMVERIFY_API_KEY=sv_live_... npx @scamverifyai/scamverify-mcp

Claude Desktop (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scamverify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@scamverifyai/scamverify-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCAMVERIFY_API_KEY": "sv_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker:

docker build -t scamverify-mcp .
docker run -e SCAMVERIFY_API_KEY=sv_live_... scamverify-mcp
