Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Credential isolation for AI agents: placeholder secrets, policy checks, optional human approval.

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 in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Other
You need to fill in: X-TAP-Key

Install

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

Before you install

Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: X-TAP-Key

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

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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 tap https://mcp.tap.human.tech/mcp --header 'X-TAP-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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tap": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tap.human.tech/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-TAP-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": {
    "tap": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.tap.human.tech/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-TAP-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 address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

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

Values you fill in

X-TAP-Key secret required HTTP header
TAP agent API key (create one at tap.human.tech)

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

Common questions

Is TAP safe?

It passed 0 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-TAP-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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 3 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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Reelsaw

Tool Authorization Protocol (TAP)

Credential isolation, approval gating, and connector routing for AI agents.

This repository contains the code that is most useful for:

auditing request routing and connector behavior
debugging failed requests
understanding approval flows
improving connector-side request shaping
contributing fixes to the core TAP experience

[!WARNING]

Self-hosting means you own the security of your credentials and signing keys.

TAP keeps secrets out of your agents, but running it yourself puts the host

hardening, key isolation, and correct policy-engine operation on you. It's a path

for teams that are well versed in security. For everyone else the hosted version is

strongly recommended: credentials sit in a hardware enclave we can't read into, with

no ops to run. Start free at tap.human.tech.

Start Here

crates/tap-proxy/src/routing.rs — how TAP resolves connector target shapes
crates/tap-proxy/src/placeholder.rs — credential substitution and position validation
crates/tap-proxy/src/policy.rs — approval policy enforcement
docs/ — full documentation including self-hosting guide

Included

core proxy and storage crates
Telegram and Matrix approval bots
remote MCP server (tap-mcp)
CLI
docs (self-hosting, API reference, credential setup)

Not Included

enclave deployment glue (CCE policy generation, release-policy automation, ARM templates, env config)
production workflows and secret bootstrapping
managed hosting operations glue
the hosted dashboard UI source (a placeholder is shipped so the proxy compiles)

The enclave key-management source is included (key_provider_enclave.rs, kms_azure.rs, skr.rs) — it's the custody model documented at docs.tap.human.tech/security, and each hosted release's enclave measurement is published in measurements/. Hosted deployment and operational infrastructure are maintained separately from this repository.

Security

See SECURITY.md to report a vulnerability.

License

Apache-2.0: free to use, read, modify, and self-host. This repo is the open-source TAP runtime (tap-core, tap-proxy, tap-bot, tap-cli, tap-mcp). The hosted dashboard and managed-service deployment glue are proprietary and live in a separate private repo.
