Pre-action gate: verify before pay/trade/write/deploy. execute=true only on ALLOW.

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: Developer tools
  • You need to fill in: DQL_API_KEY, SENTINEL_API_KEY, THOUGHTPROOF_API_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: DQL_API_KEY, SENTINEL_API_KEY, THOUGHTPROOF_API_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": {
    "thoughtproof": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "thoughtproof-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DQL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "SENTINEL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "THOUGHTPROOF_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add thoughtproof --env DQL_API_KEY=your-value --env SENTINEL_API_KEY=your-value --env THOUGHTPROOF_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y thoughtproof-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": {
    "thoughtproof": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "thoughtproof-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DQL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "SENTINEL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "THOUGHTPROOF_API_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": {
    "thoughtproof": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "thoughtproof-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DQL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "SENTINEL_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "THOUGHTPROOF_API_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

  • DQL_API_KEY secret env
    Required for DQL-backed verify_decision calls. Sentinel and RV paths use their respective keys.
  • SENTINEL_API_KEY secret env
    Optional; needed when mode=sentinel or auto-route picks Sentinel.
  • THOUGHTPROOF_API_KEY secret env
    Optional operator key for verify_claim / verify_trade / Sentinel fallback.

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

Common questions

Is ThoughtProof 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: DQL_API_KEY, SENTINEL_API_KEY, THOUGHTPROOF_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 (0.3.2) 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. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

thoughtproof-mcp

thoughtproof-mcp — local stdio. Hero tool verify_decision (DQL spend / Sentinel irreversible exit). execute is true only on ALLOW. Sentinel ALLOW must match a verified signed export.

MCP server for ThoughtProof — pre-execution decision verification for AI agents.

Hero tool: verify_decision. It routes inside the tool to DQL (spend / checkout) or Sentinel (irreversible exit) and returns a fail-closed execute flag. execute is true only on a native ALLOW.

This package is a local stdio MCP server (Node 18+) for Desktop / CLI hosts such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and Cline. It is not a remote HTTP MCP server. It is not a Grok Web/Mobile custom connector.

Get keys at https://app.thoughtproof.ai/pricing.

Unpublished work is documented in UNRELEASED.md.

Quick Start

{

"mcpServers": { "thoughtproof": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "thoughtproof-mcp@0.3.2"], "env": { "DQL_API_KEY": " " } } } }

Install with npx -y thoughtproof-mcp@0.3.2. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other local stdio MCP clients.

Tools

verify_before_action / verify_decision (hero)

verify_before_action is an alias of verify_decision (identical schema + handler). Soft fail-closed: host must honor execute=false.

Pre-execution gate for a proposed action. Routing is inside the tool — not an agent quiz.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
mandatestring*(required)*User's stated goal / instruction
proposed_actionstring*(required)*What the agent is about to do
reasoningstring*(required)*The agent's own plan / reasoning
contextstring*(optional)*Extra evidence
modedql / sentinel / autoautoExplicit surface, or auto-route

Auto-route: spend / checkout / booking / purchase / payment / cart / Stripe / price / budget / cap → DQL. High-blast irreversible exit without that language (publish, delete, deploy, send-to-prod, memory write) → Sentinel. Unsure → DQL. Explicit mode wins. RV / PLV are not on this path.

Camera mandate: do not put the overshoot in proposed_action or reasoning (for example, do not write “price is above the cap”). The verifier has to find the mismatch.

Envelope (always this shape):

{

"verdict": "ALLOW", "execute": true, "objections": [], "receipt_id": "dql_…", "surface": "dql", "axes": [], "recommendation": "execute" }

execute is true only on ALLOW. REVIEW, UNCERTAIN, BLOCK, timeouts, HTTP 402/4xx/5xx, and missing keys return execute: false. Fail-closed is soft at the protocol layer — the tool does not hard-stop the host. Replan is a new call (new receipt).

verify_claim

Verify any claim or AI-generated reasoning via RV (POST /v1/check). Unchanged.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
claimstring*(required)*The text to verify
stakeLevellow / medium / high / criticalmediumRisk level — higher stakes trigger deeper verification
domainfinancial / medical / legal / code / generalgeneralDomain context for specialized verification
speedfast / standard / deepstandardVerification depth
check_agent_score

Look up an agent's composite trust score on the ERC-8004 registry.

ParameterTypeDescription
agentIdstringAgent ID to look up
domainstringOptional domain filter
verify_trade

Optional pre-execution gate for trading agents (Sentinel → RV). Not the default verify_decision path. See VERIFY_TRADE.md.

Configuration

Environment VariableDefaultDescription
DQL_API_KEY*(none)*DQL key (dqlk_…) for the default verify_decision path. Alias: THOUGHTPROOF_DQL_KEY
SENTINEL_API_KEY*(none)*Optional. Required only when mode=sentinel or auto-route picks Sentinel. Fallback: THOUGHTPROOF_API_KEY as X-Sentinel-Key
DQL_SANDBOX*(off)*Set to 1 to send sandbox: true on DQL calls (local/dev only)
THOUGHTPROOF_API_KEY*(none)*Operator key for verify_claim / verify_trade / Sentinel fallback
THOUGHTPROOF_BASE_URLhttps://api.thoughtproof.aiRV API base URL (verify_claim)

A missing Sentinel key returns execute: false with “Sentinel key not configured” — it does not silently call DQL.

Development

git clone https://github.com/ThoughtProof/thoughtproof-mcp.git

cd thoughtproof-mcp npm install npm run build npm test npm run dev # Run with tsx (hot reload) npm run inspect # Test with MCP Inspector

For local MCP clients, point command at node and args at dist/index.js after npm run build.

Security

See SECURITY.md for supported versions, private reporting (security@thoughtproof.ai), and key handling (dqlk_… for MCP hero — never commit real keys).

HOL listing / Guard scanner score is a review baseline only. It is not next-action authorization and not a substitute for fail-closed host behavior (execute: true only on ALLOW).
