Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
castle_get_events_schemaList the event fields you can filter and group on, with their types. Read this first — the other query tools need real field names. Castle: GET /v1/events/schema.
castle_search_eventsQuery the security event stream — logins, registrations, transactions and their risk verdicts. Read-only despite being a POST: Castle takes the query in the body. Castle: POST /v1/events/query.
castle_group_eventsAggregate matching events by one or more fields — the fast way to see which IPs, devices or countries dominate a spike. Read-only despite being a POST. Castle: POST /v1/events/group.
castle_search_listsFind the allow/deny lists defined in the environment. Read-only despite being a POST. Castle: POST /v1/lists/query.
castle_get_listFetch a single list with its primary and secondary field definitions. Castle: GET /v1/lists/{id}.
castle_search_list_itemsSearch the entries of one list — the blocked IPs, emails or device ids it holds. Read-only despite being a POST. Castle: POST /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/query.
castle_count_list_itemsCount the entries in one list, with the same optional filters as the search. Read-only despite being a POST. Castle: POST /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/count.
castle_get_list_itemFetch a single list entry — its value, who added it, the comment and its archive time. Castle: GET /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/{id}.
castle_create_listCreate a new allow or deny list. primary_field is the event field its entries match on, e.g. ip or user.email. Castle: POST /v1/lists.
castle_update_listRename a list or change its colour or description. Castle: PUT /v1/lists/{id}.
castle_create_list_itemAdd an entry to a list — for example block an IP or an email. This changes live policy behaviour. Castle: POST /v1/lists/{list_id}/items.
castle_update_list_itemChange the comment on a list entry. Castle: PUT /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/{id}.
castle_archive_list_itemArchive a list entry so it stops matching. Reversible with castle_unarchive_list_item. Castle: DELETE /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/{id}/archive.
castle_unarchive_list_itemRestore a previously archived list entry so it matches again. Castle: PUT /v1/lists/{list_id}/items/{id}/unarchive.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (1.39.2) reached the registry 2 days ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

On first connect you'll paste your Castle credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
