MCP policy proxy: enforces a code of conduct across connectors before the upstream is called.

Developer ToolsPythonv0.8.3

Aggrete

PyPI version Python versions License Glama quality

An MCP proxy that enforces a code-of-conduct document across connectors, with per-user memory that accumulates across calls.

Four individually-authorized questions can assemble a layoff list — no single one is sensitive, so no guardrail fires. Aggrete is the layer that catches the combination: is this call, together with everything this person already pulled today, something the code of conduct forbids?

Try it live — nothing to install · or uvx aggrete --demo

Install

pip install aggrete                 # or: uv tool install aggrete
uvx aggrete --demo                  # the walkthrough — no config, auth, or network
aggrete --config proxy.config.yaml  # run it for real

The one example

The check tool dry-runs a plan and returns the verdict before anything is fetched:

Plan check: REFUSED.
  1. hr__recent_joiners     [hr-personnel]  ->  allowed
  2. finance__budget_roles  [finance-comp]  ->  allowed
  3. ops__oncall_draft      [ops-rota]      ->  REFUSED   COC-HR-004
     Personnel, compensation, and operational rosters may not be combined to
     derive the planned departure of identifiable individuals.

Each call is fine alone. The third completes a forbidden set across three domains that overlap on the same people, so it's denied before the upstream call — the data is never fetched.

What it does

  • Refuses before fetching, using a YAML policy and per-user memory across calls and sessions — not single-call authorization.
  • Redacts emails, SSNs, cards, and tokens from results before they reach the model; hides walled tools from users who can't call them.
  • Shields against prompt injection — any write after a session reads untrusted content is refused — and against tool poisoning, flagging hidden instructions in tool descriptions.
  • Holds upstream credentials itself (confused-deputy safe), with optional per-user on-behalf-of access.
  • Audits tamper-evidently — every decision is one hash-chained JSON line (aggrete-audit), optionally forwarded to a SIEM.
  • Ask before you act — check previews any sequence, scenarios lists things to try.

  • Writing policy — the coc.yaml schema, rule types, arg_match, and drafting from your handbook with aggrete-ingest
  • Deploying — architecture, the deploy matrix, HTTP + OAuth, connecting Claude, and per-user credentials
  • Building a connector — expose read/write tools and govern any system (Google Drive is the reference)
  • Roadmap — shipped, in progress, and planned

Honest limitations

  • Post-call denial redacts, it does not un-fetch — prefer rules decidable pre-call.
  • stdio identity is advisory — real enforcement needs streamable HTTP with OAuth and IdP-level blocking of direct connector grants, so the proxy is the only path.
  • Aggregation can only be narrowed, not solved — a user who spaces requests beyond the window, or paraphrases across systems the proxy doesn't front, gets through. This raises the cost and creates the audit trail; it isn't a ceiling.
  • Not a gateway — no multi-tenancy, token vault, or HA. For production, embed this engine in agentgateway or IBM ContextForge.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
uvx aggrete

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-aggrete-aggrete": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "aggrete"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
