Thousands of agents reporting millions of interactions create trust scores no individual agent could produce alone.</p> <p>Static scores don't have this property. GitHub stars don't improve because more agents use a server.</p> <h2> What We Built </h2> <p>The Dominion Observatory tracks 4,400+ MCP servers across 13 categories with runtime behavioral data. It's free, open, and available as both MCP server and REST API:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>MCP endpoint:</strong> <code>https://dominion-observatory.sgdata.workers.dev/mcp</code> </li> <li> <strong>Trust check:</strong> <code>GET /api/trust?url=[server-url]</code> </li> <li> <strong>Report interaction:</strong> <code>POST /api/report</code> </li> <li> <strong>Leaderboard:</strong> <code>GET /api/leaderboard</code> </li> <li> <strong>Compliance export:</strong> <code>GET /api/compliance</code> </li> </ul> <p>Check a server's trust score before calling it. Report outcomes after. The more agents participate, the more reliable scores become — for everyone.</p> <p>The MCP ecosystem needs runtime trust. Static scores got us this far. Behavioral data takes us the rest of the way.</p> <p><em>Dinesh Kumar builds infrastructure for the AI agent economy from Singapore.
