Tell Claude to route its tools through your local Aegis firewall.

Open your Claude configuration file:

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add AegisMCP to the mcpServers object:
npm install
npm run dev

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AegisFirewall": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/AegisMCP/packages/cli/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}



Restart Claude Desktop. You will see a 🔨 icon indicating Aegis is connected.
