TraceTail MCP server
Which MCP servers are TraceTail'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.

- Registry nameio.tracetail/tracetailverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under tracetail.io. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-20 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 59 ms.
- Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: flag sign-ins from devices an account has never used; detect one device opening many accounts to claim promo offers; rate-limit scrapers and bots by visitor ID instead of IP.
Once connected
- create_setup_link change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.
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.

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
- Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_setup_link
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 →
get_integration_codeThe exact install command and code to add TraceTail browser fingerprinting (a stable visitor ID for each browser, without cookies) to a web app built with the given framework, with where each file goes. Works without an API key (keyless…
search_docsSearches TraceTail's documentation, pricing, comparison and blog for a topic (e.g. "next.js", "rate limits", "ad blockers", "GDPR", "server-side verification") and returns the matching sections with their URLs.
read_docs_pageReturns a page of the TraceTail site as Markdown: "/docs" (the full documentation), "/pricing", "/vs-fingerprintjs", "/" (overview) or a blog post.
get_pricingTraceTail's prices and limits (1,000 identification requests free every month, then $0.10 per 1,000), with the monthly cost at a given volume and the same volume on Fingerprint (FingerprintJS) for comparison.
create_setup_linkGets TraceTail API keys for the person you work for: returns a link to give them, where they sign in with an emailed code and add a card or continue without a card, and a token. Then call check_setup_link with its id and token every few…
check_setup_linkWhere a setup link stands. The first check after the person finishes returns the API keys (and the server key, if requested); they are not shown again. While they're still on the page, check again every few seconds.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tracetail": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://tracetail.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http tracetail https://tracetail.io/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://tracetail.io/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.
