Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Deterministic runtime enforcement of step order for AI agents: ALLOW/DENY before a step runs.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Common questions

Is AgenticRail Gate - sequence enforcement and verifiable audit receipts for AI ag… 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry 41 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?

agenticrail-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the live AgenticRail enforcement gate to any MCP client as two tools.

AgenticRail is a deterministic enforcement layer for AI agents: it holds an agent to its declared step order, refuses replays and skipped steps, and seals each completed sequence with a signed receipt. This server is the MCP adapter in front of it.

In the words the problem usually gets asked in: it is a policy enforcement point for AI agent tool calls. It catches skipped steps and procedural hallucination (an agent reporting success on a step that never ran) by refusing the out-of-order step before it runs, and every decision, ALLOW or DENY, becomes a tamper-evident audit trail entry.

Endpoint: https://mcp.agenticrail.nz/ (Streamable HTTP, stateless) Protocol: 2026-07-28 — the revision that retired the initialize exchange and Mcp-Session-Id. This server was built stateless with neither, so it needed no migration. initialize is still answered for older clients. Registry: nz.agenticrail/gate on the official MCP registry

Tools

ToolWhat it doesCalls
evaluate_stepALLOW/DENY a single agent step before it runs; seals a signed receiptPOST https://api.agenticrail.nz/v1/evaluate
verify_receiptFetch a sequence's verification report; confirm the receipt chain is intactPOST https://report.agenticrail.nz/report

Call evaluate_step before running each step of a sequence, and do not run a step the gate DENYs.

A DENY tells you how to fix it

Every refusal carries its own remedy in the response envelope — unsigned, DENY-only, because it describes the sequence's state now rather than the decision that was made:

refusalwhat comes back
ACTION_NOT_ALLOWEDallowed_action_types — exactly what this step would have accepted
SEQUENCE_VIOLATIONnext_expected_step — the step the sequence is waiting for
STEP_ORDER_MISMATCHlocked_step_order — the order this sequence was locked to on its first call
UNKNOWN_STEPexpected_step_order + step_order_source (caller or msmd_spine)

action_type is an enum of exactly eight values, and each step accepts only a subset. The enum in the tool schema is a hint, not a control — it binds only a client that validates its own arguments, and an invented verb is by far the most common first refusal: READ, QUERY, TOOL_CALL, LOOKUP, EXECUTE and the like are not action types, however well they describe your step. The gate is the control. When it refuses, allowed_action_types comes back carrying the ones this step would have taken.

A refused call locks nothing. A denial is answered before the sequence store is written to, so the run is not spoiled: the call was wrong, not the sequence. Correct the field the denial names and send the step again. The lock is set only by actually *sending* a step_order on a call that is allowed; from then on that list is enforced and a different one is refused with STEP_ORDER_MISMATCH. Omitting step_order sets no lock at all — it means only that this call is judged against the built-in MSMD spine, whose step names are almost certainly not yours.

So if your process has its own step names, send `step_order` with those names and the gate will enforce your order instead. One step is a valid sequence.

Connect

In Claude Code:

# zero config — uses the public demo key

claude mcp add --transport http agenticrail https://mcp.agenticrail.nz/

with your own key

claude mcp add --transport http agenticrail https://mcp.agenticrail.nz/ \ --header "Authorization: Bearer "

Any Streamable-HTTP MCP client works — point it at the URL.

Try it without installing anything

BASE=https://mcp.agenticrail.nz/

curl -s -X POST "$BASE" -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | jq .

⚠️ Use a sequence_id nobody else will pick. On the shared demo key the id is

GLOBAL and sealing is PERMANENT — a fixed one in an example works once for one

person on earth and returns SEALED_SEQUENCE for everyone after.

SEQ="mcp-smoke-$(date +%s)-$RANDOM"

curl -s -X POST "$BASE" -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":2,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{ \"name\":\"evaluate_step\", \"arguments\":{\"sequence_id\":\"$SEQ\",\"step\":\"intake\", \"action_type\":\"CHECK_STATE\"}}}" | jq .

With no Authorization header the public demo key is used and your sequence_id comes back rewritten to `demo-mcp- ` — demo- marks the public lane, mcp- marks it as anonymous MCP traffic. Use the id returned in the response from then on; the one you sent will not resolve. This is intended, not a leak.

A `demo-` sequence's report needs no key to read, so treat anything you send on it as public.

Design — read before changing

  • Protocol adapter only. This worker holds no internal secrets and has no privileged path to the enforcement core. It calls the same public API an external caller uses, so the tool logic is decoupled from AgenticRail's internals *and* from the MCP transport version.
  • Service bindings, not fetch. mcp.agenticrail.nz is on the same zone as api. and report., so a plain fetch() would be a same-zone loopback (Cloudflare error 1002). The bindings hit the identical public handlers — they are not an internal bypass.
  • Stateless Streamable HTTP. No Mcp-Session-Id is issued or required; every POST is self-contained. The transport shell is handleRpc + the fetch handler — the only part a spec revision touches. The value-bearing calls (callEvaluate / callVerify) are plain HTTPS and don't change.
  • `GET /` serves the discovery card; every other GET path 404s. POST is left permissive on purpose so a client that appends a path to the endpoint URL still works.
  • **A 404 on /.well-known/oauth-* is correct** — it is how an MCP server says *no auth required*. agent.json, agent-card.json, x402 and ai-plugin.json are protocols this server does not implement; answering them would be a claim.
