Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Pay-per-call agent security: prompt-injection screening, URL safety, tool-call policy (x402)

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.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Cybersecurity
  • You need to fill in: X402_PRIVATE_KEY

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).
  • You fill in yourself: X402_PRIVATE_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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": {
    "grindfree-agent-security": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@grindfree/agent-security-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add grindfree-agent-security --env X402_PRIVATE_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @grindfree/agent-security-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": {
    "grindfree-agent-security": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@grindfree/agent-security-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "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": {
    "grindfree-agent-security": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@grindfree/agent-security-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "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.

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

  • X402_PRIVATE_KEY secret required env
    Caller's own Base USDC EVM private key (0x…). Used only by the local MCP host to settle x402 payments. Never a GrindFree key; never commit this value.

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

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is GrindFree Agent Security 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: X402_PRIVATE_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 (0.1.0) reached the registry today.

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?

Install / run the MCP server (stdio)

git clone https://github.com/ronin93/grindfree-agent-security.git

cd grindfree-agent-security/mcp-server npm install

Set the caller’s funded Base USDC key in the MCP host env (never commit it):

export X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0xYOUR_BASE_USDC_PRIVATE_KEY

PRIVATE_KEY is also accepted

node src/index.js

Claude Desktop / Cursor-style config:

{

"mcpServers": { "grindfree-agent-security": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/grindfree-agent-security/mcp-server/src/index.js"], "env": { "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_KEY" } } } }

MCP tools
  • promptshield_screen / promptshield_clean
  • crawlsafe_check
  • toolguard_evaluate — your agent must enforce allow/review/deny before executing the tool; this API cannot stop a bypass
  • commandguard_command / commandguard_sql — check shell commands and SQL before running them
  • memoryguard_screen — check content before saving it to long-term memory
  • wireshield_scan — check agent output before rendering/sending it
  • docshield_scan — check a local file (path), base64 bytes, or HTML/Markdown for hidden instructions (max 3 MB)
  • grindfree_discovery — unpaid 402 / discovery probe (no spend)

HTTP snippets (no MCP)

  • examples/typescript-x402-fetch.ts — official @x402/fetch + @x402/evm
  • examples/python-x402.py — unpaid probes + paid hook
  • examples/langchain-tool.py — LangChain-style wrappers

Unpaid challenge (no wallet):

curl -sS -D - -o /tmp/ps402.json -X POST https://promptshield.grindfree.net/v1/screen \

-H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"content":"hi","format":"text"}'

Expect HTTP 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED


Honest limits

  • Heuristic / policy layers — not a full security program.
  • CrawlSafe is not malware, phishing, or legal/ToS advice.
  • All guards are deterministic rule packs (no LLM), so they are fast and cheap but can miss novel phrasing; decisions are advisory and your code must enforce block/deny.
  • DocShield parses structure and text; it does not OCR images or render pages, and legacy .doc/.xls/.ppt return 415 (not charged).
  • ToolGuard returns a decision; the caller/adapter must enforce it before tool execution. Missing policy → review. Not an exfiltration guarantee.
  • ToolGuard: always enforce allow|review|deny in your adapter before tool execution (the API cannot stop a bypass). GrindFree has confirmed funded settlement + HTTP 200 delivery on /v1/evaluate via a self-funded Base USDC test; still verify with your own wallet in production.
