agentguard MCP Server

local only

agentguard runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 48 installs a week from npm.

MCP policy proxy: spend caps, approvals for destructive tools, kill switch, dry-run, audit log.

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private.

What the code does

We read the source, 16 d ago · rules ccca72095570

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Package points at a different repository agentwares/agentguard
пакет @agentwares/agentguard ссылается на agentwares/agentwares
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/release.yml:60
      - name: Create or update the release
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add agentguard -- npx -y @agentwares/agentguard
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

    }
  }
}

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: AGENTGUARD_CONFIG (Path to agentguard.yaml (default ./agentguard.yaml). If unset and that file does not exist, agentguard serves only its own read-only tools: agentguard_get_status, agentguard_get_report, agentguard_verify_audit_log), AGENTGUARD_KILL (Set to 1 to halt every tool call (kill switch)).

agentguard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for agentguard?
agentguard runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @agentwares/agentguard was installed 48 times last week.
Is agentguard still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect agentguard?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @agentwares/agentguard straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use agentguard?
The npm package @agentwares/agentguard was installed 48 times in the last week. Week over week that is -84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
