Tools

All tools are read-only. Responses are JSON (MCP structuredContent plus a text copy). Times are UTC (ISO 8601). * = required.

check_token · Check a token for brand impersonation

Look up a deployed token by contract/mint address and report whether it impersonates a real company, its "official" token or its tokenized stock (e.g. a fake SpaceX, Coinbase or NVDAx coin). Returns verdict (likely_impersonation | brand_mention_watch | not_in_index), matched brands, risk score 0-100 with reasons (creator bought supply at launch, same-block bundles, creator cash-out, serial launcher), creator wallet and explorer links. Use before buying, listing or promoting a token. "not_in_index" only means no brand match was recorded, not that the token is safe. Without an API key: brand match and coin only (flagged as likely impersonation), no risk score, creator wallet or forensics.

check_name · Check a token name/ticker before launch or purchase

Run the impersonation detector on a token name and/or ticker symbol without needing an address. Tells you whether a coin called e.g. "SpaceX Official" ($SPACEX) or "TSLAx" would be flagged as impersonating a brand, which brand, and why. Use for pre-launch name checks, or when a user mentions a coin by name and you have no address. Does not assess creator behaviour.

search_alerts · Search impersonation alerts

List recent impersonation coins, newest first, filtered by brand, chain, time and severity. Use to answer "are there fake <brand> tokens?", to monitor a brand, or to collect cases for a takedown. Free tier returns alerts older than 24 h only (max 20).

get_brand_report · Brand impersonation report

Summarise impersonation activity against one brand over a window: number of fake coins, traded volume, breakdown by chain/match type/severity, repeat creator wallets, how many creators bought 50%+ of supply, and the top cases with evidence. Pro/Wholesale keys also get the takedown-ready PDF link.

list_brands · List watched brands

List the brands on the watchlist (companies, tokenized stocks, crypto projects, private companies) with ids, tickers and all-time alert counts, most-targeted first. Use to find a brand id or check whether a brand is covered.

get_stats · Impersonation statistics

Aggregate numbers for a window: alerts, high-severity count, brands hit, by chain, by match type, top brands, data-source health and coverage. Use for overviews, trend questions and to check data freshness.

Example arguments

check_token  {"address": "21gwoStzKtpHaDVPF2wV5TCUm4tVw82hzCT8w3Lnpump"}
check_name  {"name": "SpaceX Official", "symbol": "SPACEX"}
search_alerts  {"brand": "coinbase", "since": "7d", "severity": "high"}
get_brand_report  {"brand": "anthropic", "days": 30}
list_brands  {"query": "tesla"}
get_stats  {"days": 1}

Auth & rate limits

Send your key as Authorization: Bearer <key> (or X-API-Key). No key means the Free tier, limited per IP. An invalid key returns HTTP 401. Going over the limit returns a tool error (MCP) or HTTP 429 (REST).

Evidence PDFs (get_brand_report → evidence_pdf) are included on Pro and Wholesale. See pricing.

REST, OpenAPI & discovery

• /openapi.json: OpenAPI 3.1 spec. The agent endpoints under /v1/agent/* mirror the MCP tools, e.g. GET /v1/agent/check-token/{address}, GET /v1/agent/check-name?name=…&symbol=…
• /docs: interactive API reference
• /llms.txt: a summary of the service written for language models
• /.well-known/mcp.json (MCP server card) and /.well-known/ai-plugin.json

curl "https://deepcounterfeit.com/v1/agent/check-name?name=Coinbase%20Official&symbol=COIN"

Pay per call (x402)

Live Agents without a key can pay $0.01 USDC per call for real-time results. Payments settle through the public PayAI x402 facilitator.

With x402, an agent with no account or key gets a real-time answer for a small USDC payment. The server replies 402 Payment Required with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header, the agent's wallet signs the payment, and the request is retried with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. Endpoints: GET /v1/x402/token/{address} (real-time check_token) and GET /v1/x402/alerts (real-time alerts, up to 50). Live status: /v1/x402/status. Any x402 v2 client works, e.g. @x402/fetch or the x402 Python SDK.

# 1) Ask: returns 402 + a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header listing the accepted networks
curl -i https://deepcounterfeit.com/v1/x402/token/21gwoStzKtpHaDVPF2wV5TCUm4tVw82hzCT8w3Lnpump
# 2) Your x402 client signs a USDC payment for one option and retries with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header

Good to know

• Live with on-chain creator forensics: pump.fun (Solana); Meteora DBC (bags.fm, Believe and others) (Solana); Raydium LaunchLab · letsbonk · StonkFun (Solana); four.meme (BNB Chain); Flap.sh (BNB Chain); Clanker (incl. Bankr) (Base); Zora coins (Base); Pons V2 (Robinhood Chain). Live status: /status.
• not_in_index means no brand match was recorded. It is not a safety rating.
• Results are automated evidence for human review, not legal findings or investment advice. Agents should say so when relaying them.
