Release Gate runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 253 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 6 Aug 2026.

Pre-deploy security auditor for AI agent code — the risks generic SAST misses.

What the code does

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.

                : vscode.Uri.file(path.join(baseUri?.fsPath ?? '', filePath)))
      model&rsquo;s output through <code>eval()</code>. Here is exactly what <b>release-gate</b>
        env = dict(os.environ)

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 release-gate -- uvx release-gate
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-gate": {
      "args": [
        "release-gate"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.release-gate]
command = "uvx"
args = ["release-gate"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-gate": {
      "args": [
        "release-gate"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RG_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS (Colon/semicolon-separated directories the server may read under. Defaults to the working directory. The server refuses any path outside these roots (blocks ../, absolute, and symlink escapes).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Release Gate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Release Gate?
Release Gate 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 pypi package release-gate was installed 253 times last week.
How do I connect Release Gate?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls release-gate straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Release Gate?
The pypi package release-gate was installed 253 times in the last week. Week over week that is -26%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Release Gate open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
