PatchWarden Overview
jiezeng2004-design/PatchWarden MCP server connects ChatGPT to locally installed coding agents such as Codex CLI, Claude Code, and OpenCode. It confines execution to a configured workspace, restricts verification commands, detects out-of-scope changes, and records diff, verification, audit, and lineage evidence. Use it when an AI agent should perform local development work without receiving unrestricted shell or filesystem access. Final acceptance can be bound to the current evidence through a local attestation step.
Primary Use Cases for PatchWarden:
- Plan a change in ChatGPT and execute it through a local coding agent
- Confine agent edits to a dedicated project workspace
- Verify changes with approved project commands
- Review diffs and audit evidence before accepting a task
