pleamo MCP server

Exposes pleamo's AI scam/phishing URL checks as MCP tools, so any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, your own agent) can ask pleamo "is this link safe?" before opening or recommending it.

It's a thin, authenticated proxy to the hosted pleamo API — every check goes through the same per-user and global caps that protect the service.

Tools

Tool	What it does
check_url	Judge a URL: verdict (safe/suspicious/dangerous), severity, confidence, reason
report_false_positive	Flag a wrongly-blocked domain for review
get_status	Your plan + today's AI-check usage

Setup

1. Get a pleamo API key (a revocable key from the dashboard at https://dash.pleamo.app/keys).
2. Point your MCP client at this server. For Claude Desktop, add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pleamo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pleamo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PLEAMO_TOKEN": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. You'll then be able to say things like "check this link with pleamo: https://paypa1-login.example" and the agent will call check_url.

Environment

Var	Default	Notes
PLEAMO_TOKEN	—	Required. Bearer token for the pleamo API.
PLEAMO_API_BASE	https://dash.pleamo.app	Override for local dev (e.g. http://localhost:4400).

Develop

npm install
npm run verify   # lint + format + unit tests
npm start        # runs the stdio server (expects an MCP client on stdin)

Quick stdio smoke test (lists the tools):

printf '%s\n' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"smoke","version":"0"}}}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' \
  | node src/server.js

Remote (hosted) alternative

If your client supports remote MCP servers, you don't need this local process at all — connect straight to the hosted endpoint:

https://dash.pleamo.app/api/mcp

It speaks JSON-RPC over HTTP (same three tools) and authenticates with a pleamo API key as a Bearer token. Create a revocable key at https://dash.pleamo.app/keys. This local stdio server is for clients that only speak stdio (e.g. current Claude Desktop).

Notes

• Auth / tokens — get a revocable API key from the dashboard (/keys) and set it as PLEAMO_TOKEN. (A raw session token also works, but keys are the right, revocable option.)
• Transport — this package is stdio; the hosted /api/mcp above is the remote Streamable-HTTP variant.
• The other MCP direction — letting the extension route checks through the user's own agent (BYO-via-MCP) is tracked alongside the extension source at pleamo/pleamo-chrome-extension.
