The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://tetheredtrust.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `tethered-trust` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__tethered-trust__<tool>`. - Credentials, from `.env` (`.env.example` lists them): `TETHERED_TRUST_AUTHORIZATION`. ## Tools 18 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.
