Overview
What is Taste?
Taste is a pay-per-call MCP server that puts vetted human experts in the loop for AI agents. It enables human review of an agent’s output across text, images, video, audio, and social posts; audit step-by-step reasoning chains for mid-chain errors; run prepublish safety checks; gate high-stakes actions for explicit human approval; and convene curated expert teams for 30- or 60-minute think-tank working sessions. Approved outputs receive a Taste content certificate recorded on Base that downstream agents can verify on-chain.
How to use Taste?
Connect to the MCP endpoint https://api.humantaste.app/mcp/ over Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-06-18). No API key or signup required. Free tools (list_offerings, list_expert_profiles, get_result, verify_certificate) answer immediately. Paid tools cost $1.00–$15.00 per call, settled in USDC on Base mainnet via x402 — call without payment to receive an HTTP 402 challenge, sign an EIP-3009 USDC transfer, then retry. Typical human turnaround is 5–30 minutes for evaluations and up to 24 hours for a think tank session.
