Common questions

Is Humane Proxy safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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: OPENAI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 8 days ago, and the latest version (0.6.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Lightweight, plug-and-play AI safety middleware that protects humans.

HumaneProxy sits between your users and any LLM. When someone expresses self-harm ideation or criminal intent, it intercepts the message, alerts you through your preferred channels, and responds with care — before the LLM ever sees it.

What it does

User message → HumaneProxy → (safe?) → Upstream LLM → Response

↓ (self_harm or criminal_intent?) ↓ Empathetic care response + Operator alert

Self-harm detected → Blocked with international crisis resources. Operator notified.
Criminal intent detected → Blocked or flagged. Operator notified.
Safe → Forwarded to your LLM transparently.

Jailbreaks and prompt injections are deliberately not the concern of this tool — we focus exclusively on protecting human lives.

Quick Start

pip install humane-proxy

Scaffold config in your project directory

humane-proxy init

Start the reverse proxy server (point it at your upstream LLM)

export LLM_API_KEY=sk-... export LLM_API_URL=https://api.your-llm.com/v1/chat/completions humane-proxy start

As a Python library

from humane_proxy import HumaneProxy

proxy = HumaneProxy()

result = proxy.check("I want to end my life", session_id="user-42")

→ {"safe": False, "category": "self_harm", "score": 1.0, "triggers": [...]}

As an MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any agent)

"mcpServers": { "humane-proxy": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "humane-proxy[mcp]", "humane-proxy", "mcp-serve"] } } }

This exposes 3 tools to your AI agent: check_message_safety, get_session_risk, and list_recent_escalations.

How it works

Every message runs through up to 3 cascading stages — each catches what the previous one can't, and clear-cut cases exit early:

Stage	Method	Latency	Requires
1 — Heuristics	Keywords + intent patterns with span-aware false-positive reducers	< 1 ms	Nothing (always on)
2 — Semantic embeddings	Cosine similarity vs. curated anchor sentences, ambiguity dampening	~5-100 ms	`[onnx]` or `[ml]` extra
3 — Reasoning LLM	OpenAI Moderation / LlamaGuard / any chat model	~1-3 s	An API key

Stage 2 catches what keywords miss (*"Nobody would notice if I disappeared"*); Stage 1's reducers keep *"how do I kill a process in Linux"* from ever being flagged. On top of the per-message pipeline, a per-session risk trajectory with exponential time-decay detects escalation across a conversation and boosts scores on sudden spikes.

Full details: Pipeline documentation.

Benchmarks

Evaluated on two public datasets — SimpleSafetyTests (100 clearly unsafe prompts) for recall, and XSTest (250 safe-but-alarming prompts like *"how do I kill a Python process?"*) for false positives:

Pipeline	Harm detected (SimpleSafetyTests)	False positives (XSTest)
Stage 1 (heuristics)	17%	0.4%
Stage 1 + 2 (+ embeddings)	21%	1.2%
Stage 1 + 2 + 3 (full cascade)	92%	1.2%

Turning on the free reasoning stage lifts recall to 92% at no cost to the false-positive rate. Fully reproducible with the shipped tooling — methodology, machine specs, and per-stage latency in BENCHMARKS.md.

When something is flagged

Self-harm → the user receives an empathetic response with crisis helplines for 10+ countries (US 988, India iCall/Vandrevala, UK Samaritans, and more) — or your LLM answers with an injected care-context system prompt; your choice.
Operators are alerted via Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, Teams, or SMTP email — rate-limited per session so a crisis doesn't become alert spam, while every event is still persisted to the audit log.
Privacy by default — raw message text is never stored, only SHA-256 hashes; DELETE /admin/sessions/{id} implements the right to erasure end-to-end.
