MCP Inspector

Run the official MCP Inspector locally and enter the indexed Streamable HTTP endpoint.

verify_source — Confirm a URL is reachable and actually says what it is claimed to say, BEFORE you spend a long context reading or acting on it.
verify_claim — Independently verify a claim against a real check — an HTTP fetch, a file, or a command — instead of taking an assertion on trust.
answer_share — Ask a live AI assistant a buyer question and report whether a given brand is named, at what position, and which competitors appear instead.
verify_answer — Check an entire AI answer: open every source it cited, say which are real, which are missing or invented, and which are merely paywalled.
report_waste — Record work your agent run spent money on and then threw away, and get back your waste rate — wasted spend as a share of total spend.
waste_report — Read the agent-integrity ledger: total spend, spend that produced nothing usable, the waste rate, and a breakdown by failure kind and by agent.
pricing — What each Whysaid verification costs and how to pay.
