agent-gate MCP server

by Jott2121

Lets your AI check its own work against a strict checklist and keep an honest, tamper-evident record of what it decided.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Run the ship checklist before you say it's done”, on your own computer the agent-gate MCP server works with agent-gate, and you get back pass or fail plus a log.

agent-gate is a helper that makes your AI prove its work before it tells you it is finished. Instead of just saying "done", the AI has to pass a checklist of checks, and every decision gets written into a log that cannot be quietly changed. It is handy for anyone who uses AI agents to do real tasks and wants a bit more proof that the work is actually complete.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to something useful. This one, agent-gate, gives your AI a checklist to pass and a receipt book to write in, so it can check its own work and leave a record you can look at later. You add it once, and then your AI can use it whenever you ask.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to finish a task, and before it says "done" it calls agent-gate. The helper hands back a short checklist of things that must be true, like "tests passed" or "no secrets leaked". Your AI fills in what it knows, and agent-gate checks each item strictly: if something is missing, it counts as failed, not passed. When the AI makes a decision, agent-gate writes it into a running log with a special fingerprint, so if anyone edits or deletes an old entry, the log can tell. At the end you can read the log and see whether the chain is still intact.

What you can do with it

  • Ask your AI to check its work against a ship checklist before saying it is done
  • See exactly which checks are still blocking the work
  • Record each decision your AI makes as an honest receipt
  • Read back the full receipt log and confirm nothing was changed
  • Keep a tamper-evident trail of what your AI decided and why
  • Require human approval for irreversible or outward-facing actions

Try asking your AI

  • “Before you tell me this is finished, run the ship checklist and show me what is still blocking.”
  • “Record a receipt for shipping version 0.2 with tests passing.”
  • “Read back all the receipts and tell me if the chain is still intact.”
  • “Check whether my last change passes the gate, and if not, list the missing items.”

What it gives back to you

You get back a short answer: whether the gate passed, and a list of any checks that are still blocking. When a receipt is recorded, you see the entry with its sequence number, decision, verdict, and a long fingerprint hash. When you read the log, you get every receipt plus a simple true or false telling you whether the chain is intact.

Before you start

What you need

  • Python installed on your computer
  • The agent-gate package installed (pip install mcp-agent-gate)
  • An MCP client like Claude Desktop or Claude Code to connect it to

Good to know

The receipt log is meant to be a permanent record, so treat it as something you should not edit by hand if you want the chain to stay valid.

Install it with your AI

Add agent-gate MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check agent-gate MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
