What the tools do
Each tool answers one kind of question. Your assistant picks the tool from what you ask, so you do not need to name it. Each page below says what comes back, gives example questions, and shows the exact description your assistant reads.
Check a source or a draft
Whether the people you trust rely on a source, a person or a list of options.
- Can I trust this source?

Turn a URL, name, or title into an ID you can check (resolve_entity) - How does this writing come across?
How does this writing come across? (clarity and tone check) (mirror_score_text)

Connect in Claude
Needs a paid Claude plan. You also need an UpTrust account. The connector address is https://mcp.uptrusting.com/mcp
- Open Settings and find the Connectors section.
- Choose to add a custom connector.
- Paste the address and confirm.
- Sign in to UpTrust in the window that opens, and approve (see below).
This address serves all 31 tools. Other assistants with custom connectors, such as Grok, use the same address; their steps are in Connect an AI assistant.
Connect in ChatGPT
Needs a paid plan, and Developer mode is on the web rather than in the phone app. Bringing your introduction by paste works on any plan. The connector address is https://mcp.uptrusting.com/chatgpt
- Open Settings, then Connectors, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode.
- Back in Connectors, choose Create.
- Name it UpTrust, paste the address, and set Authentication to OAuth.
- Sign in to UpTrust in the window that opens, and approve (see below).
This address serves 12 of the 31 tools: checking sources, finding people and answers, the communities, and your introduction. Events and group channels are not on it.
What signing in involves
When you add the connector, a browser window opens on UpTrust, where you sign in with your UpTrust account. UpTrust then shows what the assistant is asking to do, and nothing happens until you click Approve. There are no keys or codes to copy, and the assistant never sees your password.
Each permission on that screen covers a set of tools:
- Read your trust signal: Can I trust this source?, Which of these should I trust first?, Which account or post is this link or name?, How does this writing come across?, Whose judgment do the people I trust rely on for this topic?, Who can help me with this?, What holds up with people who disagree with me?, What holds up across divides, seen from another perspective?, Why do I see things the way I do?, Which communities can you answer from?, What can I ask here?
- Suggest people you should meet: Who should I meet?
- Create events and send invitations for you: Can you set up an event for me?, Can you change my event?, Can you cancel my event?, Who should I invite?, Can you send the invitations?, Can you message my guests?
- Import your LLM introduction and publish asks for you: Can you introduce me to UpTrust?, Can you fill in my profile?
- Post for you: Can you post this in my group?, Can you reply to that message for me?, Can you fix what I posted?, Can you delete what I posted?
- Read your channels: Which groups and channels am I in?, What has been said in this channel?, What did people reply to this message?, What did I miss?, Where was I mentioned?, Where did someone say that?
An assistant that later needs a permission you did not grant asks you again. To disconnect, open Settings, find Connected Agents, and click Revoke; see connected AI agents.
Privacy and support
- Assistants get trust answers as orderings and coarse bands, never your raw trust scores, and never other members’ email addresses.
- To match a question or topic, or to score text with Mirror, UpTrust may send that text to a third-party service provider for processing. Neither publishes anything.
- There are daily limits on how much a connected assistant can ask for.
- The full policy is the UpTrust privacy policy.
- For help or to report a problem, email support@uptrusting.com.
