# Is it legit? Reviews trust checker (legitreviews.ai)

> Scores whether a Google Maps listing's reviews are genuine. The server never fetches reviews itself: an AI agent or script collects the listing's reviews with its own browser, submits them, and gets the trust report (verdict, grade, 0-100 trust score, the rating credible reviewers give, evidence). Results are cached and listed on the site, so the next caller is served instantly.

## For AI assistants

- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, POST JSON-RPC, stateless): https://legitreviews.ai/mcp — tools: describe_review_source, check_place, begin_submission, submit_reviews, finalize_submission, get_place_trust, list_scored_places
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http legitreviews https://legitreviews.ai/mcp`; with a key add `--header "Authorization: Bearer lr_…"`, or use https://legitreviews.ai/mcp/lr_… for clients that cannot set headers
- JSON API: https://legitreviews.ai/api (this service as JSON), https://legitreviews.ai/api/sources/google-maps (the full submission contract with an example payload), POST https://legitreviews.ai/api/submissions (one-shot submission, the response is the report), GET https://legitreviews.ai/api/cache/{placeId} (cached result, never scores), GET https://legitreviews.ai/api/cached (scored places, paginated)
- Workflow: check_place first; when it recommends use_cached no work is needed. Otherwise read describe_review_source('google-maps'), sign in to Google in your browser, sort the reviews by Newest, collect them all when the listing has 500 or fewer, otherwise the 500 most recent (minimum 200, never more than 1,000), read the rating histogram, POST the JSON to the upload URL, finalize.
- Limits: 10 anonymous submissions per day per IP, 200 per standard key, unlimited for vetted keys. Results are cached 21 days.
- Only Google Maps is supported today. The server stores verdicts and evidence, not review text for reading; it is not a review data source.

## What the verdicts mean

- Looks legit: no sign of fake reviews and the headline rating matches what credible reviewers give. The only endorsement.
- We're not sure: nothing proven either way, often too few reviews or a rating that runs a little high.
- Past manipulation: a campaign was caught in the past; today's rating is not driven by it.
- Inflated rating: the headline star rating sits well above what credible reviewers give.
- Manipulation detected: coordinated fake-review activity (bursts of throwaway accounts, copied text, solicited or incentivized reviews).
- Trust the verified rating (what established, credible reviewers give) over the headline star rating. The trust score runs 0-100 with grades A+ to F.
