## Description
AI agent security via MCP: C3 firewall, C4 immune system, C5 action guard, self-evolving prompts.
## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:
- **gsep_chat** β Send a message through the full GSEP pipeline. Runs C3 prompt injection scan, enhanced LLM call with evolved genes, C4 behavioral immune check, C5 action firewall, fitness tracking, and autonomous evolution. Returns the protected response.
- **gsep_scan_input** β Scan user input with C3 Content Firewall (53 patterns). Detects prompt injection, role hijacking, data exfiltration attempts, encoding evasion, and more. Use this before sending any external content to your LLM.
- **gsep_scan_output** β Scan LLM output with C4 Behavioral Immune System (6 checks). Detects if the response was infected by Indirect Prompt Injection β system prompt leakage, role confusion, data exfiltration patterns, and more.
- **gsep_scan_actions** β Scan LLM response for dangerous or destructive actions with C5 Action Firewall (80+ patterns). Classifies actions as safe/caution/destructive/critical. Permanently blocks rm -rf, DROP DATABASE, disk wipes, etc.
- **gsep_before_llm** β Middleware hook to run before any agent calls an LLM. Returns enhanced_prompt, sanitized_message, and C3/security status. Use this when GSEP-MCP protects an existing external agent rather than owning the LLM call.
- **gsep_after_llm** β Middleware hook to run after an external LLM responds. Runs C4 behavioral immune checks, records fitness, and returns safe_response before content is shown to users or tools.
- **gsep_before_tool** β Middleware hook to run before an agent executes a tool, shell command, database query, filesystem action, or API call. Uses C5 Action Firewall to block destructive actions before execution.
- **gsep_after_tool** β Middleware hook to run after a tool returns external content and before that content is fed back into an agent/LLM. Scans for prompt injection and dangerous action instructions.
- **gsep_get_status** β Get genome health, fitness scores, drift status, evolution generation, and security stats. Omit genome_id to list all active genomes.
- **gsep_record_feedback** β Record user satisfaction feedback for a genome. Positive signals reinforce current gene configuration. Negative signals trigger evolution on the next cycle.

## What is GSEP-MCP?
There are 9,400+ MCP servers. All of them give your agent new **tools** β Notion, GitHub, Slack, databases.
**GSEP-MCP is different.** It gives your agent **security, safety, and self-improvement** β without writing a single line of code.

**Works with:** Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, n8n, Make, any MCP client.
---
## Integrations
GSEP-MCP supports two transports: **stdio** (for desktop apps and IDEs) and **HTTP** (for servers, backends, and automation platforms). Pick the one that matches your environment.
---
### stdio Transport (Desktop / IDE)
stdio is the simplest transport. The MCP client launches GSEP-MCP as a subprocess and communicates via stdin/stdout. No port, no server, no network.
#### Claude Desktop
Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
}
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop. Your agent is now protected.
#### Cursor
Add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project (or global `~/.cursor/mcp.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
}
}
}
}
```
#### Windsurf
Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
}
}
}
}
```
#### Cline / Continue / Any MCP-compatible IDE
Add the same config block to your IDE's MCP settings file. GSEP-MCP is compatible with any client that implements the MCP protocol.
#### OpenClaw / Genome
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
"GSEP_PRESET": "full"
}
}
}
}
```
#### With Ollama (local models β no API key needed)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"OLLAMA_HOST": "http://localhost:11434",
"GSEP_PRESET": "full"
}
}
}
}
```
---
### HTTP Transport (Servers / Backends / Automation)
HTTP mode runs GSEP-MCP as a standalone server. Use this when your agent lives in a backend, a cloud service, or an automation platform.
**Start the server:**
```bash
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... npx @gsep/mcp --http
# MCP endpoint: http://localhost:3100/mcp
# OpenAI gateway: http://localhost:3100/v1/chat/completions
# Health check: http://localhost:3100/health
```
> **Session model (v1.0.3+):** Send `initialize` first β the server returns an `mcp-session-id` header. Include that header in all subsequent requests. Do not open a new connection per call.
#### OpenAI-Compatible Gateway
Gateway Mode lets existing OpenAI-compatible apps adopt GSEP by changing their `baseURL`.
The server uses the LLM provider configured in its environment, then wraps every request in
GSEP protection and evolution.
```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.GSEP_GATEWAY_KEY,
baseURL: 'http://localhost:3100/v1',
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Refactor this repo safely.' }],
});
```
Supported endpoints:
- `GET /v1/models`
- `POST /v1/chat/completions`
- `POST /v1/responses`
Streaming is intentionally rejected for now; use non-streaming calls until the streaming safety
pipeline is implemented.
#### n8n
1. Start GSEP-MCP server (locally or on Railway/Render)
2. In your n8n workflow add an **HTTP Request** node:
- **Method:** POST
- **URL:** `http://your-gsep-server:3100/mcp`
- **Body (JSON):**
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "gsep_chat",
"arguments": {
"genome_id": "n8n-agent",
"message": "{{ $json.message }}",
"user_id": "{{ $json.userId }}"
}
}
}
```
- **Header:** `mcp-session-id: {{ $json.sessionId }}`
> For n8n: initialize once at workflow start, store the `mcp-session-id`, and reuse it across nodes.
#### Make (Integromat)
Use the **HTTP β Make a request** module pointing to `http://your-gsep-server:3100/mcp` with the same JSON-RPC 2.0 payload above.
#### Python (Django / FastAPI / Celery)
Install the MCP Python SDK:
```bash
pip install mcp httpx
```
```python
# gsep_client.py
import asyncio
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client
from mcp import ClientSession
GSEP_URL = "http://localhost:3100/mcp"
async def gsep_chat(genome_id: str, message: str, user_id: str = "user") -> dict:
async with streamablehttp_client(GSEP_URL) as (read, write, _):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
await session.initialize()
result = await session.call_tool("gsep_chat", {
"genome_id": genome_id,
"message": message,
"user_id": user_id,
})
return result
async def gsep_scan_input(content: str) -> dict:
async with streamablehttp_client(GSEP_URL) as (read, write, _):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
await session.initialize()
result = await session.call_tool("gsep_scan_input", {
"content": content,
"source": "user",
})
return result
```
**In a Celery task:**
```python
# tasks.py
from celery import shared_task
import asyncio
from .gsep_client import gsep_chat, gsep_scan_input
@shared_task
def process_message(genome_id: str, message: str, user_id: str):
scan = asyncio.run(gsep_scan_input(message))
if scan.get("blocked"):
return {"blocked": True, "reason": scan.get("detections")}
return asyncio.run(gsep_chat(genome_id, message, user_id))
```
#### Node.js / TypeScript Backend
```bash
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
```
```typescript
import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js';
const client = new Client({ name: 'my-backend', version: '1.0.0' });
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL('http://localhost:3100/mcp'));
await client.connect(transport);
const result = await client.callTool('gsep_chat', {
genome_id: 'my-agent',
message: userMessage,
user_id: userId,
});
console.log(result);
```
#### Deploy on Railway
1. Create a new Railway service
2. Set start command: `npx @gsep/mcp --http`
3. Set environment variables:
```
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GSEP_PRESET=full
GSEP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0
GSEP_HTTP_PORT=$PORT
```
4. Your Django/Celery service connects via Railway internal networking:
```python
GSEP_URL = "http://gsep-mcp.railway.internal:$PORT/mcp"
```
#### Generic HTTP (any language)
Any HTTP client that supports JSON-RPC 2.0 works. The pattern is always:
```
# Step 1 β Initialize (once per session)
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0.0"}}}
# Response includes header: mcp-session-id:
# Step 2 β Call any tool (reuse session ID)
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json
mcp-session-id:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"gsep_chat","arguments":{"genome_id":"my-agent","message":"Hello","user_id":"user-1"}}}
```
---
## How It Works
Every message through your agent flows through the GSEP pipeline:
```
User message
β
[C3] Content Firewall β 53 patterns scan for prompt injection
β
[C1/C2] Evolved genes injected β prompts improved since last session
β
LLM call (your Claude, GPT-4, or Ollama)
β
[C4] Behavioral Immune System β 6 checks on the response
β
[C5] Action Firewall β scans for rm -rf, DROP DB, and 80+ dangerous commands
β
Fitness recorded β evolution triggered if drift detected
β
Protected response returned to your agent
```
**Zero code changes to your agent.** GSEP-MCP sits between your MCP client and the LLM.
