Adding an MCP server to Claude/Cursor today is "paste JSON, hope for the best." AgentGate is the open-source trust & supply-chain gate that closes that gap: it scans your MCP servers for real attack patterns, locks the exact tool surface your agent sees, gates CI on any drift from that baseline, and cross-checks everything against a public advisory database of verified MCP incidents.
Quick start
No install needed (the npm package is `mcp-agentgate`; the installed command is `agentgate`):
# Scan every MCP config on this machine — 26+ clients auto-discovered # (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, Zed, ...) npx mcp-agentgate scan # Pin the current tool surface into agentgate.lock npx mcp-agentgate lock # In CI: exit non-zero if anything drifted from the lock npx mcp-agentgate ci # Catch AI-hallucinated (slopsquatted) and typosquatted dependencies (npm + PyPI) npx mcp-a

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.
