Common questions

Is Koru Shield safe?

It passed 3 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.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 35 days ago, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 37 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Koru Shield MCP Server

Manage your Koru Shield DNS protection through AI assistants. Block domains, check policies, review blocked queries, manage schedules, and more, all through natural language.

What it does

Exposes your Koru Shield account as Model Context Protocol tools:

Tool	What it does
`list_profiles` / `get_profile`	List and inspect DNS protection profiles
`create_rule` / `list_rules` / `delete_rule`	Block or allow domains per profile
`list_filter_categories` / `set_filter_category`	Toggle categories (adult, gambling, social media...)
`simulate_policy`	Check if a domain would be blocked right now
`get_logs`	Recent DNS queries: allowed, blocked, when
`analytics_summary`	Totals, blocked percentage, encrypted queries
`list_schedules` / `create_schedule` / `delete_schedule`	Time windows (bedtime, homework hours)
`list_devices`	Devices enrolled per profile
`get_entitlements`	Plan, limits, current usage
`get_referral_code`	Your referral link

Example prompts once connected:

"Block tiktok.com on the Kids profile"
"Would youtube.com be blocked on Kids right now?"
"Show me what got blocked today"
"Turn on adult content filtering for the whole house"
"Add a bedtime schedule 9pm to 7am on weekdays for the Kids profile"

Setup

1. Get a Koru Shield API key

2. Install

No install needed. Run directly with npx:

npx -y korushield-mcp-server

Set your key as an environment variable:

export KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY="your-key-here"

Optional: KORU_SHIELD_API_URL overrides the API base URL (default https://my.korushield.com/api).

3. Connect your AI client

Claude Code

claude mcp add koru-shield -- npx -y korushield-mcp-server

(Claude Code passes environment through, so export KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY first. Or use the HTTP transport below with a header.)

Cursor / VS Code

Add to your MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json or VS Code mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "koru-shield": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "korushield-mcp-server"], "env": { "KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "koru-shield": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "korushield-mcp-server"], "env": { "KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }

HTTP transport (remote)

For clients that connect over HTTP (agents, hosted setups):

MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY="your-key-here" npx -y korushield-mcp-server

Or pass the key per-request instead of the env var:

POST https://your-host/mcp

Authorization: Bearer

Health check: GET /healthz.

Security notes

Your API key grants full control of your Koru Shield account, including deleting rules and schedules. Treat it like a password.
Prefer a dedicated API key for AI assistants so you can revoke it independently.
The server never logs or transmits your key anywhere except to the Koru Shield API.

Development

npm install

npm run build npm start

Test with the MCP Inspector:

KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY="your-key-here" npm run inspector
