Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Scan, lock, and gate your MCP servers — `npm audit` + lockfile + CI drift gate for the MCP era.

English | 简体中文

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
