Trust Gate
Let an autonomous shopping or payments agent verify merchant trust through RegisteredBrands before approving a transaction.
Overview
Trust Gate is a MCP server for the Ship phase that verifies merchant trust via RegisteredBrands.AI before autonomous agents execute payments.
What is this MCP server?
- Merchant trust verification API wired for agentic commerce and autonomous payment decisions
- npm stdio package @registeredbrands/trust-gate-mcp v1.0.1
- Required RB_API_KEY from registeredbrands.ai/dashboard/api-keys
- Configurable RB_API_URL (default https://registeredbrands.ai)
- Designed to verify any merchant before the agent commits payment
- MCP server version 1.0.1
- npm identifier @registeredbrands/trust-gate-mcp
- Default API base https://registeredbrands.ai
What problem does it solve?
Agentic commerce can send money to unverified merchants because LLMs lack a structured trust signal at checkout time.
Who is it for?
Builders shipping AI buyers, invoice agents, or autonomous checkout demos who need a merchant verification hook in the MCP stack.
Skip if: Static ecommerce sites with human-only checkout and no agent payment path, or teams without a RegisteredBrands API key.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can call trust verification tools with RB_API_KEY and block or approve payments based on RegisteredBrands merchant signals.
- MCP tools that query merchant trust via RegisteredBrands API
- Configurable API base URL for staging or custom deployments
- Pre-payment verification step usable in agent workflows
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Trust checks belong in Ship/security because they gate real-money agent actions right before launch and production commerce flows. Security is the shelf for pre-payment merchant verification—not generic catalog browsing—when agentic checkout could otherwise pay the wrong party.
How it compares
Merchant-trust MCP guardrail, not a payment processor or general web scraping skill.
