AML and compliance risk scoring for crypto addresses and transactions, exposed to AI agents over the Model Context Protocol.

Ask your agent "is it safe to send to this address?" and it gets back a 0–100 risk score, a band, the risk categories behind it, and — with an API key — every individual signal with its source and confidence.

ethereum address 0x8589427373d6d84e98730d7795d8f6f8731fda16
RISK 100/100 — CRITICAL
Flags: sanctions, mixer, scam

Signals (21):
  +80  [sanctions/eth_labels] direct.sanctions — sanctions label "Tornado.Cash: Donate" [entity Tornado.Cash: Donate, confidence 0.80]
  +68  [mixer/eth_labels] direct.mixer — mixer label "Tornado.Cash: Donate" [entity Tornado.Cash: Donate, confidence 0.80]
  +10  [mixer] behavior.mixer_contact — direct contact with mixer 0xdd4c48c0b24039969fc16d1cdf626eab821d3384
  +9   [sanctions/ofac_sdn] indirect.sanctions — sent to Semenov Roman (sanctions, 18% of USDC volume) [entity Semenov Roman, confidence 1.00]
  ... and 17 more

Computed at 2026-08-23T11:42:49Z.

Backed by traql: OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, EU and UN sanctions lists, Tether/Circle freeze events, curated hack and mixer attributions, and counterparty exposure analysis across Ethereum, BSC, TRON, TON and Bitcoin.

Quick start

Requires Node.js 18+.

npx -y @traql/mcp

The server speaks MCP over stdio, so you normally point a client at it rather than running it by hand.

Claude Code

claude mcp add traql --env TRAQL_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y @traql/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "traql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@traql/mcp"],
      "env": { "TRAQL_API_KEY": "your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project) using the same mcpServers block as above.

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "traql": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@traql/mcp"],
      "env": { "TRAQL_API_KEY": "your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Getting an API key

Sign up at app.traql.io, confirm your email — free checks are included — and issue a key under API keys. The secret is shown once; it can be rotated or revoked at any time.

Without a key the server still runs, on the keyless tier: the hosted API serves 3 free checks per IP per day so you can try it immediately, then asks for per-call payment over x402. Keyless responses are also coarser — a single reason phrase instead of itemized signals — and rate limits are tighter. For anything beyond a first look, set a key.

Configuration

Variable

Required

Response

Both tools return human-readable text plus structuredContent:

{
  "subject": { "type": "address", "chain": "ethereum", "address": "0x…" },
  "result": {
    "score": 100,
    "band": "critical",
    "flags": ["sanctions", "mixer", "scam"],
    "partial": false,
    "computed_at": "2026-08-23T11:42:49Z",
    "reasons": [
      {
        "code": "direct.sanctions",
        "message": "sanctions label \"Tornado.Cash: Donate\" from eth_labels (severity 100 × confidence 0.80 = 80.0)",
        "contribution": 80,
        "category": "sanctions",
        "source": "eth_labels",
        "entity": "Tornado.Cash: Donate",
        "severity": 100,
        "confidence": 0.8,
        "eff": 80.0
      }
    ]
  }
}

Score bands: clean 0–9, low 10–39, elevated 40–69, high 70–89, critical 90–100.

partial: true means an upstream data source was degraded while computing the result — read the score as a lower bound, not a final verdict.

Each successful call consumes one check from the configured account. Malformed input is rejected locally where possible, so it costs nothing.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test

Notes

Scores are advisory signals for triage and automation. They are not a legal determination of wrongdoing, and they do not by themselves discharge any regulatory obligation.

Available Tools

2 tools
check_addressCheck address riskA
Read-only

Score a single crypto address for AML and compliance risk.

Returns a risk score from 0 (clean) to 100 (critical), the band it falls into, and the risk categories that drove it — sanctions, mixer, scam, darknet, stolen_funds, ransomware, high_risk_exchange and others. With an API key configured, the response also itemizes every contributing signal with its data source, severity and confidence, so the verdict can be explained rather than just asserted.

Use it before sending funds to an unfamiliar address, to triage an address a user pasted, to check a counterparty in an investigation, or to vet a deposit address. Covers Ethereum, BSC, TRON, TON and Bitcoin. Each call consumes one check from the configured traql account.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
chainYesBlockchain network the subject belongs to.
addressYesAddress in the chain's native format: 0x-hex for ethereum and bsc, base58 starting with T for tron, EQ/UQ for ton, and legacy or bech32 for bitcoin.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and non-destructive, and the description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond that: the exact return semantics (risk score 0-100, bands, categories), conditional verbosity with an API key, and the resource cost ('Each call consumes one check'). It doesn't contradict annotations, and the additional consumption caveat is valuable.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the purpose and returns, then use cases, then chains and consumption. It is concise at four sentences, with no fluff. It could be slightly tighter (the chain list is redundant with the schema enum), but it remains efficiently structured and readable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description need not detail return types, but it still explains the risk score range, band concept, and categories. It also covers supported chains, use cases, and the API-key enhancement. Everything an agent needs to invoke and interpret the result is present, so it is fully complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already provides full descriptions for both parameters (chain enum and address format), so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra parameter semantics—it only references the chain coverage implicitly, which the schema already communicates. No additional meaning is introduced beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description begins with a clear verb-resource pair ('Score a single crypto address for AML and compliance risk') that precisely states the tool's function. It also differentiates from the sibling tool screen_transaction by focusing on address-level vetting rather than transaction screening.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description lists concrete use cases ('before sending funds', 'triage a pasted address', 'vet a deposit address'), giving clear context for when to use it. It does not explicitly exclude transaction screening, but the single sibling tool makes the distinction evident; mentioning that tool as an alternative would make this a perfect 5.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

screen_transactionScreen transaction riskA
Read-only

Screen a transaction for AML and compliance risk by scoring both sides of the transfer.

Two modes, chosen by which arguments are given:

  • Pre-flight — pass from and to (optionally amount and asset) to screen a transfer before it is broadcast. Works on every supported chain.

  • By hash — pass only tx_hash to look up a transaction that is already on-chain. Supported on ethereum, bsc, tron and ton.

Returns the same score, band, flags and itemized signals as an address check, with each signal marked as applying to the sending or receiving side. Use it as a pre-send safety gate, or to review a payment that already went out. Each call consumes one check from the configured traql account.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
toNoRecipient address, for screening a transfer that has not been broadcast yet.
fromNoSender address, for screening a transfer that has not been broadcast yet.
assetNoOptional asset or token symbol being transferred, for example USDT.
chainYesBlockchain network the subject belongs to.
amountNoOptional transfer amount as an integer string in the asset's base units (for example 1000000 for 1 USDT, which has 6 decimals). Never a decimal fraction.
tx_hashNoHash of an already-broadcast transaction. Mutually exclusive with `from`/`to`. Supported on ethereum, bsc, tron and ton only.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: 'Each call consumes one check from the configured traql account' (a quota side effect) and describes the return structure ('score, band, flags and itemized signals'). This is consistent with annotations and provides useful operational detail.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with a clear opening statement followed by a bulleted breakdown of modes. The information is front-loaded and each sentence serves a purpose—no filler or redundancy. It is slightly long but contains only necessary details, earning a 4 rather than 5 due to the length.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (two modes, six parameters, chain restrictions, and an existing output schema), the description covers all essential usage context: modes, which chains support which mode, use cases, and the quota side effect. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by explaining the two modes and how parameters relate (pre-flight: from/to, optional amount/asset; by-hash: tx_hash only, mutually exclusive). It also gives an example for the amount format, reinforcing the schema description. This is helpful clarification beyond the schema's individual parameter descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a clear verb+resource: 'Screen a transaction for AML and compliance risk by scoring both sides.' It explicitly differentiates from the sibling address-check tool by focusing on transactions and even references the shared return format ('same score, band, flags and itemized signals as an address check'). This leaves no ambiguity about what the tool does and how it differs from check_address.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description clearly states when to use it: 'Use it as a pre-send safety gate, or to review a payment that already went out.' It also details two explicit modes with the exact parameters to pass ('pass from and to...' vs 'pass only tx_hash') and lists chain support for each. While it doesn't explicitly name check_address as an alternative, the mention of 'same... as an address check' implies routing, so guidance is strong but not exhaustive.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools target distinctly different entities: check_address evaluates a single address, while screen_transaction evaluates a transaction by scoring both sides. They are clearly separated by purpose and input requirements, with no overlapping functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: check_address and screen_transaction. The verbs ('check' vs 'screen') are semantically appropriate and the noun targets (address, transaction) are clear, maintaining a uniform naming style.

Tool Count4/5

With only two tools, the server is compact but well-scoped for its narrow AML screening purpose. Each tool covers a fundamental operation (address check and transaction screening), so the count feels appropriate rather than insufficient, though it is below the typical 3-15 range.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the primary use cases for AML risk assessment: pre-transaction screening and single-address checks. Minor gaps exist, such as lack of batch processing or historical investigation features, but these are not essential for the stated purpose and do not create dead ends in common workflows.
