What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defenter-proxy": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "defenter-proxy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add defenter-proxy -- uvx defenter-proxy

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defenter-proxy": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "defenter-proxy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "defenter-proxy": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "defenter-proxy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Defenter Proxy safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 –, and the latest version (0.0.96) reached the registry 12 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?

Defenter

Real-time semantic security for AI coding agents and MCP tools in VS Code, Claude Code and Cursor.

Defenter monitors every prompt, every coding agent tool call, every MCP server call, and key file and shell operations in your IDE. It acts as a semantic policy broker that understands what agents are doing, not just where they send data, so you can use AI coding agents without leaking secrets or customer data.

🚀 How to use

The simplest way to use Defenter is to install the VS Code or Cursor extension:

VS Code Marketplace: Install Defenter
Open VSX (Cursor and others): Install Defenter
Claude Code: install Defenter plugin

Once installed, the extension automatically intercepts and protects:

MCP server calls
Coding agent prompts and responses
File reads and shell commands triggered by the agent

No manual MCP configuration is needed.

Overview

Defenter is a semantic policy broker for AI coding agents. It adds an intelligent security layer inside your IDE that:

Intercepts every coding agent prompt and action
Wraps every MCP tool call and response
Analyzes the payload for sensitive information and risky behavior in real time
Enforces your security policies with allow, redact, or block decisions

Traditional security tools cannot see what an agent is about to share or execute. They look at apps and destinations, not at the intent and content of an agent’s actions.

Defenter bridges this gap by:

Preventing data leaks and context contamination
Providing clear, visual monitoring of every agent decision

Architecture and how it works

This repository contains the Defenter proxy and related components that secure MCP and coding agent traffic.

Defenter is built as a Python based proxy and local middleware that the IDE extension uses to enforce policy. At a high level:

Local middleware layer

Runs on the developer machine
Hooks coding agent prompts, file reads, and shell executions
Intercepts all MCP tool calls and responses
Performs client side redaction of secrets and PII

Cloud powered policy engine

Receives a minimal, redacted payload
Uses a classifier and analyzer to check for data leaks, context contamination, and prompt injection
Returns Allow, Redact, Need more info, or Block decisions in real time
Works with low latency to make sure the development flow in without friction

IDE integration

Seamless integration with VS Code and Cursor extensions
Shows a live monitoring view of all agent actions and Defenter decisions directly inside the IDE

Together, these pieces let you harness AI coding agents and MCP tools without compromising the security of your code, data, or workflows.
