Open VSX Unblocks Extension IDs Used in Malware Campaign
Open VSX has removed three extension IDs from its malicious-extension list as the legitimate publishers they impersonated move to claim the names for themselves.

MCP server exposing TrustSource x402-paid domain verification APIs (trust score, SSL check, security headers, robots.txt) to any MCP-compatible client.
MCP server exposing the TrustSource suite of x402-paid domain verification APIs to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cline, Continue, etc.).
Four tools, each settled per-call in USDC on Base Mainnet. No API keys, no signups, no accounts — just a wallet.
These tools are also discoverable to autonomous agents via Coinbase's Bazaar marketplace, where AI agents browse, pay for, and call x402-enabled services.
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
trustsource_score | $0.003 USDC | Domain trust score 0–100 (WHOIS age, TLD, DNS, registrar) |
trustsource_ssl | $0.002 USDC | TLS certificate intelligence (chain, expiry, CA trust, TLS version) |
trustsource_headers | $0.003 USDC | HTTP security header audit (A+ to F grade) |
trustsource_robots | $0.002 USDC | robots.txt + AI bot policy across 24 known crawlers |
npm install -g trustsource-mcp
Or run without installing:
npx -y trustsource-mcp
The server needs a Base Mainnet wallet private key. The wallet must hold:
USDC for per-call fees ($0.002–$0.003 per call) ETH for gas (minimal — Base Mainnet gas is fractions of a cent per call)
Suggested starter balance: $1 USDC + 0.0005 ETH on Base Mainnet covers ~300 calls. Bridge via bridge.base.org or buy directly to a Base wallet via Coinbase.
Set the private key in your MCP client's environment, not in any committed file.
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"trustsource": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "trustsource-mcp"],
"env": {
"WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_BASE_MAINNET_PRIVATE_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The four tools appear automatically.
Add to your client's MCP server configuration:
{
"trustsource": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "trustsource-mcp"],
"env": {
"WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
}
}
}
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY | yes | — | Base Mainnet wallet private key with USDC + ETH for gas |
TRUSTSOURCE_API_URL | no | https://api.trustsource.cc | Override the API base URL (useful for testing) |
trustsource_score).PAYMENT-REQUIRED header.x402-fetch signs an EIP-3009 USDC transferWithAuthorization for the exact amount.X-PAYMENT.Total latency per call: typically 1–3 seconds including settlement.
If your agent is making many calls, deduplicate by domain client-side before invoking tools. The API caches responses (1 hour for /trustscore and /sslcheck, up to 12 hours for /robots and /headers), but the cache reduces latency, not price — every call costs the same regardless of whether it hits cache.
Worst-case full domain audit: trustsource_score + trustsource_ssl + trustsource_headers + trustsource_robots = $0.010 USDC.
