FinalApproval MCP Server

Standalone Model Context Protocol server for FinalApproval — gate AI agent actions behind a human approval.

Your agent calls submit_approval; a human reviews on a branded page in your FinalApproval dashboard; the channel's configured webhook fires back when the human decides.

This is the stdio variant intended for local / headless / CI / directory-indexed (Glama) use. If you want the hosted OAuth-gated Streamable-HTTP server instead, point MCP clients at https://www.finalapproval.ai/mcp.

Scope

v0.1 exposes one tool:

For the full tool surface today, use the hosted endpoint at https://www.finalapproval.ai/mcp (OAuth 2.1, scope approvals:write).

      "env": {

(Published image coming; you can also build locally: docker build -t finalapproval-mcp ..)

Environment variables

Closing the loop

submit_approval returns immediately with a pending approval ID. The actual decision arrives via the channel's webhook, not back through MCP. Your host application (the agent's server) must implement a webhook receiver that verifies the HMAC signature and executes the gated action on approved or logs on denied. See the FinalApproval docs for webhook payload schema.
