arc-gate-mcp

Runtime governance proxy for MCP tool calls. Blocks prompt injection and capability abuse before tool results reach your agent.

What it does

arc-gate-mcp sits between your MCP client and any MCP server. Every tool result passes through Arc Gate governance before reaching your agent — blocking prompt injection attacks that exploit the MCP trust boundary.

Installation

pip install arc-gate-mcp

arc-gate-mcp --upstream "uvx mcp-server-fetch" --policy balanced
