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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http catalyst https://catalyst.stratogenic.ai/mcp --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

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

Common questions

Is Catalyst Governance 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: X-API-Key

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 (1.0.1) 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. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Catalyst MCP Server

Governance middleware for AI agents — hosted MCP server with both SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.

What it does

Catalyst puts a governance layer between your AI agent and consequential actions. Before your agent writes files, sends messages, deploys code, or calls external APIs, it checks in with Catalyst. Depending on your governance mode, actions are allowed, routed to a human for approval, or denied.

Core features:

Pre-execution permission gates with a progressive trust model: observe → advisory → proposal → strict
Human-in-the-loop approval flows — agents submit proposals, humans approve/decline
Compliance scanning across 8 frameworks: GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, EU AI Act, Bribery Act, AML/KYC
Hash-linked audit ledger — every agent action is recorded with touched_by.source=mcp
Webhook notifications for proposal.accepted / proposal.declined events

Use with Claude Code

Claude Code is a primary use case Catalyst was designed for. Claude Code governs itself session-locally — it asks before running dangerous commands, but those decisions leave no audit trail, survive no context reset, and sit outside your organisation's approval workflows.

Catalyst externalises that governance. Once connected, every consequential action Claude Code attempts is routed through your policy, logged in an immutable ledger, and (if required) held for human approval in the Catalyst dashboard before Claude Code proceeds.

Connect in one command:

claude mcp add catalyst \

--transport sse \ --url https://catalyst.stratogenic.ai/mcp/sse \ --header "X-API-Key: SGC_your_key_here"

Or with Streamable HTTP (Claude Code 0.10+):

claude mcp add catalyst \

--transport http \ --url https://catalyst.stratogenic.ai/mcp \ --header "X-API-Key: SGC_your_key_here"

Claude Code will automatically call catalyst_check_action before destructive operations and catalyst_await_approval when a proposal is required. Every action is ledgered with touched_by.source=mcp — you get a permanent, verifiable record of what your AI coding agent did and when.

What governance looks like in practice:

Claude Code action	Catalyst response (proposal mode)
`git push --force`	`proposal_required` — held for approval
`rm -rf ./dist`	`allow` — whitelisted build action
Deploy to production	`proposal_required` — held for approval
Edit source files	`allow` — within declared capabilities
Call external API	`proposal_required` — undeclared capability

Set your governance mode to observe to start with a full audit trail only, advisory to flag deviations without blocking, proposal to require human sign-off on sensitive actions, or strict to allow only explicitly whitelisted capabilities.

Get your API key at catalyst.stratogenic.ai.

Connect

Streamable HTTP (preferred — required by Glama, Smithery, and newer clients):

"mcpServers": { "catalyst": { "url": "https://catalyst.stratogenic.ai/mcp", "transport": "http", "headers": { "X-API-Key": " " } } } }

SSE (for clients that don't yet support Streamable HTTP):

"mcpServers": { "catalyst": { "url": "https://catalyst.stratogenic.ai/mcp/sse", "transport": "sse", "headers": { "X-API-Key": " " } } } }

Get your API key at catalyst.stratogenic.ai.
