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

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:
{
"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):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gsep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
}
}
}
}Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.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.

"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:
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/healthSession model (v1.0.3+): Send
initializefirst — the server returns anmcp-session-idheader. 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.
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/modelsPOST /v1/chat/completionsPOST /v1/responses
Streaming is intentionally rejected for now; use non-streaming calls until the streaming safety pipeline is implemented.
n8n
Start GSEP-MCP server (locally or on Railway/Render)
In your n8n workflow add an HTTP Request node:
Method: POST
URL:
http://your-gsep-server:3100/mcpBody (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 → 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:
pip install mcp httpx# gsep_client.py

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',

user_id: userId,
});
console.log(result);Deploy on Railway

Set start command:
npx @gsep/mcp --httpSet environment variables:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GSEP_PRESET=full
GSEP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0
GSEP_HTTP_PORT=$PORTYour Django/Celery service connects via Railway internal networking:
GSEP_URL = "http://gsep-mcp.railway.internal:$PORT/mcp"Generic HTTP (any language)
Any HTTP client that supports JSON-RPC 2.0 works. The pattern is always:
# Step 1 — 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: <uuid>
# Step 2 — Call any tool (reuse session ID)
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json
mcp-session-id: <uuid from step 1>
{"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
↓
[C3] Content Firewall — 53 patterns scan for prompt injection
↓
[C1/C2] Evolved genes injected — prompts improved since last session
↓
LLM call (your Claude, GPT-4, or Ollama)
↓
[C4] Behavioral Immune System — 6 checks on the response
↓
[C5] Action Firewall — scans for rm -rf, DROP DB, and 80+ dangerous commands
↓
Fitness recorded → evolution triggered if drift detected
↓
Protected response returned to your agentZero code changes to your agent. GSEP-MCP sits between your MCP client and the LLM.

Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a distinct role in the security pipeline: scanning input, output, actions; middleware hooks; chat; status; and feedback. No two tools serve the same purpose; even similar-sounding tools like gsep_scan_input and gsep_before_llm are clearly differentiated by their descriptions.
All tools follow the 'gsep_' prefix with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., scan_input, get_status, record_feedback) or preposition_noun (before_llm, after_tool). The naming is consistent, descriptive, and predictable.
With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for its domain of LLM security pipeline. Each tool addresses a specific step or integration point, neither too few nor too many.
The tool set covers the complete lifecycle: input scanning, action scanning, output scanning, middleware hooks for external agents, chat pipeline, status monitoring, and feedback. There are no obvious gaps for the intended purpose.
