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": {
    "consentgate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "consentgate-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CONSENTGATE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "CONSENTGATE_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add consentgate --env CONSENTGATE_API_KEY=your-value --env CONSENTGATE_BASE_URL=your-value -- npx -y consentgate-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "consentgate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "consentgate-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {

        "CONSENTGATE_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "consentgate": {

        "CONSENTGATE_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

Common questions

Is Consentgate 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: CONSENTGATE_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 (0.1.1) 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?

consentgate-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that lets any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents, …) gate its own actions behind a human's consent policy via ConsentGate.

The agent asks before it acts; you stay in control. High-stakes actions can block on an explicit Approve / Deny tap delivered to your Telegram.

Tools

Tool	Blocks?	What it does
`check_action`	no	Evaluates an action against your consent rules. Returns `allow`, `deny`, or `ask` (no rule matched). Use it before any sensitive/irreversible action.
`request_approval`	yes (≤120s)	Sends an Approve/Deny prompt to your Telegram and blocks until you tap or it times out. Returns `allow` only on an explicit human Approve; everything else (deny, timeout, not-available) is `deny`.

Both fail closed: anything other than an explicit allow means *do not proceed*.

Prerequisites

A ConsentGate account and an API key → https://consentgate.fyi/dashboard/keys (cg_…).
For request_approval (interactive approvals): the Pro plan and a linked Telegram account (Dashboard → Telegram → Connect). check_action works on any plan.

Configuration

Environment variables:

Var	Required	Default	Notes
`CONSENTGATE_API_KEY`	✅	—	Your `cg_…` key.
`CONSENTGATE_BASE_URL`	—	`https://consentgate.fyi`	Override for self-hosted instances.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

"mcpServers": { "consentgate": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "consentgate-mcp"], "env": { "CONSENTGATE_API_KEY": "cg_your_key_here" } } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add consentgate --env CONSENTGATE_API_KEY=cg_your_key_here -- npx -y consentgate-mcp

Generic MCP client

Run npx -y consentgate-mcp (stdio transport) with CONSENTGATE_API_KEY in the environment.

Run from source

Until the package is published to npm, point your client at the built file

(node /abs/path/to/mcp/dist/index.js) instead of npx consentgate-mcp.

cd mcp

npm install # also builds via the prepare script npm run build # -> dist/index.js CONSENTGATE_API_KEY=cg_… npm run smoke # lists tools + a live check_action

How an agent should use it

A good agent policy:

Before performing any action that sends messages, spends money, deletes data, posts

publicly, or changes external state, call check_action. If the result is allow,

proceed. If deny, stop. If ask (or the action is high-stakes), call request_approval

and proceed only on an explicit allow.

Example (request_approval):

"action": "transfer_funds", "category": "spending", "metadata": { "amount": "$500", "to": "Acme Corp" }, "wait_seconds": 90 } // -> blocks; you tap Approve in Telegram -> { "decision": "allow", "resolved_by": "human" }
