What is the Agentguard MCP server?

Connect Agentguard to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. AI Agent Supply Chain Security - intercepts and validates every package install, git clone, and script download triggered by AI coding agents. The agentguard mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

When Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, or any AI coding assistant tries to install a package - AgentGuard checks it first.

Installation

lodasx on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Modes — The Modes tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: VT_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Agentguard's toolset — Modes — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by momenbasel; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
