Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Arc Gate MCP is categorized under Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Sparda belongs to Security using local stdio subprocess. Select Arc Gate MCP when you need capabilities focused on security and Sparda when you require tools for security.
Runtime governance for MCP tool calls. Blocks prompt injection and capability abuse before tool results reach your agent.
Injects a live, reversible MCP server into a running Express / FastAPI / Next.js app — reads safe by default, writes gated behind human confirmation. The same engine also proves deploys and PRs (apocalypse / review).
