What is the Trustwise MCP server?

Trustwise mcp server connects Trustwise to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. The Trustwise MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a suite of advanced evaluation tools for AI safety, alignment, and performance. It enables developers and AI tools to programmatically assess the quality, safety, and.

What Trustwise does

The Trustwise MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a suite of advanced evaluation tools for AI safety, alignment, and performance. It enables developers and AI tools to programmatically assess the quality, safety, and cost of LLM outputs using Trustwise's industry-leading metrics.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:

  • Cursor — To connect the Trustwise MCP Server to cursor, add the following configuration to your cursor settings:

Installing the trustwise mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: TW_API_KEY, TW_BASE_URL, YOUR_TRUSTWISE_API_KEY, YOUR_TRUSTWISE_INSTANCE_URL. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

AI-service servers chain other models into your assistant, turning a single chat into a small production pipeline. Trustwise sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Cursor — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other ai services servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by trustwiseai.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the trustwise mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Trustwise to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 1 tool (Cursor) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Trustwise directly.
