Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/is-it-legit-by-m8ven/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Commerce & Shopping](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/) # Is It Legit by M8ven Brand and store trust checks before buying Listed in ChatGPT and Claude · 3 published tools · Community-listed [ChatGPT listing](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/is-it-legit-by-m8ven?open_in_app) [Claude connector docs](https://github.com/jj-m8ven/m8ven/blob/main/packages/mcp-server/README.md) [m8ven.ai](https://m8ven.ai) Overview ## What Is It Legit by M8ven does Is It Legit is the consumer facing trust checker from M8ven Inc. It takes a brand name or a web address and returns one of three verdicts, safe, caution, or avoid, together with the findings that produced it. Scoring draws on more than a hundred trust signals, according to the record, though the individual signals are not itemized. The framing is shopping rather than enterprise risk. Listed use cases are questions like whether a storefront is real, whether a brand is worth buying from, and whether an advertisement seen on Instagram leads somewhere legitimate. The record covers assessment only. It describes no purchase protection, no refunds, and no action beyond returning a verdict with the reasoning attached. ### Who it is for Online shoppers sizing up an unfamiliar store or an ad-driven brand before paying. ### What stands out It condenses its analysis into a three-way verdict rather than leaving a numeric score to interpret. Availability ## Where Is It Legit by M8ven is listed M8ven Inc. ships this on both marketplaces: Is It Legit by M8ven is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain. Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process. ChatGPT listing ## In the ChatGPT apps directory Developer M8ven Inc. Filed under Security Listed since June 2026 Authentication Authenticates when installed Website [m8ven.ai](https://m8ven.ai) Policies published Privacy policy · Terms of service Official listing [Open in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/is-it-legit-by-m8ven?open_in_app) Snapshot August 2026 Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Is It Legit by M8ven publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Commerce & Shopping publishes 5, so this one sits 2 tools below its bucket's median, 21st of 35. It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 3 tools, matching the 3 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `check_brand` - `report_experience` - `suggest_brand` Is It Legit by M8ven publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
