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

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

FIGUARD_API_KEY secret env
FiGuard API key — set this (with FIGUARD_BASE_URL) to use a self-hosted FiGuard server. Leave unset to run embedded: in-process enforcement against a local SQLite file, no account or server needed.
FIGUARD_BASE_URL env
Self-hosted FiGuard server URL. Leave unset to run embedded against a local SQLite file.
FIGUARD_DATABASE env
Path to the embedded SQLite file (default ~/.figuard/figuard.db). Embedded is the default backend — no server required.
FIGUARD_MODE env
Backend mode: embedded | server | sandbox. Defaults to embedded when nothing else is configured.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Figuard MCP 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?

You need to fill in: FIGUARD_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 –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

figuard-mcp

FiGuard MCP server — use FiGuard directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop without writing any SDK code.

What this does

Adds 14 FiGuard tools to your AI assistant. Instead of writing SDK code, you just talk to Claude:

"Create a $500 travel budget with $300 for flights and $200 for hotels"

→ Claude calls figuard_create_budget

"Authorize a $149 economy flight from this budget"

→ Claude calls figuard_authorize → returns AUTHORIZED or DENIED

"The flight ended up costing $147 — confirm the actual amount"

→ Claude calls figuard_confirm

Requirements

Node.js 18+
A running FiGuard server (local or sandbox)

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add figuard-mcp \

--env FIGUARD_API_KEY=fg_live_... \ --env FIGUARD_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080

Or add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json manually:

"mcpServers": { "figuard": { "command": "npx", "args": ["figuard-mcp"], "env": { "FIGUARD_API_KEY": "fg_live_...", "FIGUARD_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8080" } } } }

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):

"mcpServers": { "figuard": { "command": "npx", "args": ["figuard-mcp"], "env": { "FIGUARD_API_KEY": "fg_live_...", "FIGUARD_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8080" } } } }

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

"mcpServers": { "figuard": { "command": "npx", "args": ["figuard-mcp"], "env": { "FIGUARD_API_KEY": "fg_live_...", "FIGUARD_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8080" } } } }

Using the sandbox (no Docker required)

Point FIGUARD_BASE_URL at the hosted sandbox to try FiGuard without running a local server:

"FIGUARD_API_KEY": "sb_live_demo", "FIGUARD_BASE_URL": "https://figuard-sandbox-g1ha.onrender.com" }

Available tools

Tool	What it does
`figuard_create_budget`	Create a spending envelope; returns `session_token`
`figuard_authorize`	Pre-flight check — AUTHORIZED or DENIED with reason
`figuard_confirm`	Close a reservation with the actual amount after success
`figuard_fail`	Release a reservation when the action fails
`figuard_void`	Cancel an unused reservation
`figuard_get_budget`	Check budget status, spent, reserved, available
`figuard_get_ledger`	List all spend events with filtering
`figuard_resume_budget`	Unfreeze a budget paused by anomaly detection
`figuard_extend_budget`	Extend a budget's expiry time
`figuard_cancel_batch`	Cancel up to 100 budgets in one call
`figuard_fund_budget`	Adjust a budget's total limit (CREDIT / DEBIT / RESET / RESET_SPENT)
`figuard_create_delegation_token`	Create a scoped per-agent token against a fleet budget
`figuard_revoke_delegation_token`	Revoke a delegation token (idempotent)
`figuard_get_delegation_token`	Check delegation token state and cap usage

Security note

FIGUARD_API_KEY is configured as an environment variable, not a tool argument. Tool arguments appear in LLM context windows — API keys must never be passed as tool parameters.

Session tokens returned by figuard_create_budget are short-lived (they expire with the budget) and are safe to use as tool arguments within a session.

Running FiGuard locally

git clone https://github.com/figuard/figuard-core

cd figuard-core docker compose up -d

FiGuard will be available at http://localhost:8080.
