Dashclaw Overview
The dashclaw MCP server connects agent tool calls to DashClaw governance for guarding, recording, invoking, and discovering capabilities. Supported enforcement seams can block destructive or expensive actions before execution, while ordinary MCP and SDK integrations rely on the caller to honor the verdict. Decisions are stored in a ledger, with remote approval available through the inbox, CLI, phone PWA, Telegram, or Discord. Reach for it when unattended coding agents need approval workflows and an auditable record of actions.
Primary Use Cases for Dashclaw:
- Guard unattended coding-agent actions before they reach a repository or database
- Route destructive tool calls to a remote approval inbox
- Record agent decisions and outcomes for later review
- Discover governed capabilities exposed to an agent
