mcp-guardian
MCP Guardian manages your LLM assistant's access to MCP servers, providing real-time control over its activity.
MCP Guardian allows users to oversee and manage the interactions of their LLM assistants with MCP servers. It features message logging to trace all activities, enabling users to approve or deny specific tool calls in real time. Additionally, it simplifies the management of multiple MCP server configurations, allowing for quick switching between different server setups without the hassle of manual configuration file management. Future updates will include automated message scans for safety and privacy checks.
