hejdar-mcp

MCP server for Hejdar — runtime policy enforcement for AI agents.

This server exposes hejdar_evaluate as an MCP tool. Any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, custom) can call it to check whether an action is permitted by organizational policy before executing it.

The MCP server is a thin wrapper around the Hejdar API (POST /v1/evaluate). It contains no policy logic — all decisions come from your Hejdar organization's configured policies.

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install hejdar-mcp

Or run directly with uvx:

uvx hejdar-mcp

2. Get your API key

Sign up at app.hejdar.com and create an API key in Settings → API Keys.

3. Configure your MCP client

Tool: hejdar_evaluate

Evaluate an agent action against your organization's security policies.

Input:

Output:

{
  "decision": "DENY",
  "policy_id": "pol_abc123",
  "reason": "Deletion of customer data requires manager approval",
  "risk_level": "HIGH"
}

decision is one of: ALLOW, DENY, WOULD_DENY.

System Prompt Pattern

For best results, add this to your agent's system prompt:

You have access to the hejdar_evaluate tool. Before performing any action
that reads, writes, deletes, transfers data, or executes commands on
external systems, you MUST call hejdar_evaluate first.

If hejdar_evaluate returns DENY or WOULD_DENY, do NOT proceed with the
action. Instead, inform the user that the action was blocked by policy
and include the reason provided.

Environment Variables

Security

• API key is read from environment variables only — never hardcoded or exposed in tool I/O

• All inputs are validated and sanitized before forwarding to the API

• Error responses never leak internal details, API keys, or stack traces

• All API calls enforce TLS
