RUTHVEN MCP server

Which MCP servers are RUTHVEN's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameai.ruthven/ruthvenverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under ruthven.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-21 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 255 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

Once connected

  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 4 of 10 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • cannot · record a work's origin and source files when it is made
  • not sure · check an artwork's record against the Ethereum chain
  • not sure · trace each claim in a record back to its evidence

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

    What RUTHVEN is and what an agent may do with it: the verification states, the permission model (READ and ANALYSE only), the asset types (live and placeholder), and the JSON API endpoints.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ruthven": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ruthven.ai/api/ruthven/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http ruthven https://ruthven.ai/api/ruthven/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://ruthven.ai/api/ruthven/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
