VERAX runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 208 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.
The body an agent asks before it acts: decide, approve, and keep a signed record on your machine.

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.

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
VERAX_ISSUER (Issuer the agent's token must carry. The body refuses to start without one; `verax doctor` names what is missing.), VERAX_JWKS_URL (Where the body fetches the keys that verify that token.), VERAX_AUDIENCE (Audience the token must name, so a token minted for something else is refused.), VERAX_STATE_DIR (Directory the ledger, keys and approvals live in. It stays on this machine.), VERAX_POLICY_FILE (Policy the gate applies. @verax-ai/proxy ships policy/default.json, which denies what it does not name.), VERAX_BIND (host:port the body listens on. Anything but loopback needs VERAX_TLS_TERMINATED=1.), VERAX_INVENTORY_FILE (Roster document the body serves; the format is @verax-ai/inventory.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Your agent asks before it acts, so the same real-world action is attempted at most once.
Govern your AI coding agent: frame the work, review the changes, keep a signed decision record.
Verify before your agent acts on data it paid for. Signed verdicts, checkable offline, via x402.
