IdentArk Gateway — Claude Code MCP server
An MCP gateway for agent calls with risk checks, audit records, and human approval. Use it when agents should not hold secrets directly.
claude mcp add --transport http identark-gateway https://api.identark.io/v1/mcp/rpcWhat IdentArk Gateway does
IdentArk Gateway inserts a control layer between an AI agent and external actions. Calls receive a risk assessment, an audit trail is kept, and a person can approve the operation. This fits workflows where an agent may reach APIs, files, or code but must not get unrestricted access to credentials.
The server connects through the MCP endpoint https://api.identark.io/v1/mcp/rpc and has setup commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI. The IdentArk SDK also separates local and production execution: DirectGateway uses a client key locally, while ControlPlaneGateway keeps secrets out of the agent. Human approval adds a review step before risky calls proceed.
What it helps with
- route agent calls through risk checks
- record an audit trail for external calls
- ask a person to approve sensitive actions
- keep API keys outside the agent process
Example prompts for the agent
- Connect
IdentArk Gatewayand route the next agent action through its risk check. - Show the agent call history and ask for human approval before running the action.
- Check which credentials remain outside the agent process when using
IdentArk Gateway.
