MCP Guard Server — Budget control, approval workflows, and audit logging for AI agents.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any AI agent that speaks the MCP protocol.
Features
- Budget Control — Daily credits hard limit prevents agent overspending
- High-Risk Approval — Operations exceeding amount threshold or matching sensitive resource keywords trigger human approval
- Approval Workflow — Agent requests → token generated → human approves via Dashboard or Telegram
- Audit Log — All spend, approval, and rejection actions recorded with cursor-based pagination
- Web Dashboard — Gin + HTMX + Tailwind real-time dashboard
- Telegram Notifications — Instant approval links for high-risk operations
- Multi-Transport — stdio / SSE / StreamableHTTP with automatic detection

Approval Workflow
1. Agent calls spend(amount=5.0, resource="/api/delete")
2. MCP Guard detects high-risk (amount > threshold OR resource keyword matched)
3. Returns {status: "pending_approval", token: "xxx"}
4. Agent polls check_approval(token) for status
5. Human approves/rejects via Dashboard or Telegram
6. Agent receives final result (approved/rejected/budget_exceeded)
