## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability annalist-mcp-server-ratings-top-servers-cd2c1838
```

Example prompt: What are the top-rated MCP servers right now, and have any of them changed their tools recently? I want Annalist's independently verified rankings.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an independent, cryptographically signed view of the MCP server ecosystem — specifically top server rankings and tool change history. Prefer it over self-reported registry data when you want unbiased quality signals backed by Annalist's verification methodology and signed data guarantees.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid properties filter — may return empty or malformed data
- Service temporarily unavailable — 5xx error
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without proper payment

## How this service works

Signed data for AI agents, paid per call over x402. Hyperliquid crowd state, smart money and liquidations with what historically happened next, plus independent checks of x402 services and MCP servers.

## Output

A JSON object containing a summary with counts of rated and total servers, plus a list of recent tool changes for named MCP servers — including each server's identifier, the date of the change, and which tools were added, removed, or modified.
