Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

RugShield 402 is an MCP server that simulates token trades on Base to detect honeypots, transfer taxes, and liquidity risks for LLM-based trading agents. It combines EVM bytecode simulation with x402 HTTP payment protocol for pay-per-scan access, offering integrations with Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, and Coinbase AgentKit. The project is a novel combination of on-chain security tooling and agent-native payment rails, though its real-world detection efficacy remains unproven.

Target audience: crypto developers, autonomous trading agent builders, DeFi security researchers
