Documentation

Full README

archytan-mcp-gate

archytan-mcp-gate sits between an MCP host (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, an IDE agent, your own agent) and an MCP tool server. Before any tool call reaches the server, an Archytan Lite gate service has to authorize it. The MCP gate checks the signed receipt for that decision and spends a single-use capability, and only then forwards the call. A call the policy doesn't allow comes back to the agent as a tool error it can read, and never reaches the server.

This repository is the MCP gate's source, under the Apache License 2.0. The Archytan Lite gate service it talks to is a separate product, distributed as a signed container image; its quickstart is in archytan-lite-community.

How it works

The host launches the MCP gate in place of the tool server, and the MCP gate launches the server itself, so it becomes the only path between the agent and its tools. For every tools/call it:

asks the Archytan Lite gate service to authorize the action the call maps

to, on the resource the call names;

verifies the receipt the service returns: its fields must hash to the

signed intent hash, the signature must be the service's key, and the receipt must describe exactly this call;

redeems the single-use capability that came with the ALLOW;
forwards the call to the tool server.

If any step fails, the call is refused and the server never sees it. The agent never holds anything that could skip these steps: the MCP gate holds the agent's credential, and the agent only ever speaks MCP.

Requirements

An Archytan Lite gate service with capabilities on

(ARCHYTAN_LITE_CAPABILITIES=on). The tests run against version 2.7.0, the first whose policy can scope a role to named resources.
