mcptoollicense-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: setup and features
A remote gatekeeper verifying tool licenses and vendor terms before an agent executes external calls. Useful for teams enforcing strict compliance.
claude mcp add --transport http mcptoollicense-mcp https://mcptoollicense.clauxel.com/mcpWhat mcptoollicense-mcp does
The server operates remotely over HTTP and delivers structured verdicts as JSON. It checks tool licenses against custom rules, tracks data classifications, and enforces an allowlist. Five remote tools are exposed: check_tool_license, validate_vendor_policy, issue_license_receipt, suggest_allowed_alternative, and export_license_audit.
When a third-party tool violates policy, the system recommends permitted replacements. Access requires a paid account. The repository provides documentation only, with production backend code and billing logic kept private.
What it helps with
- verify third-party tool licenses before an agent makes calls
- evaluate vendor terms against internal data policies
- find approved tool alternatives from an allowlist
- export license audit trails and issue compliance receipts
Example prompts for the agent
- Verify whether this utility license complies with our internal policy using
check_tool_license - Suggest an approved replacement for an unverified tool with
suggest_allowed_alternative - Export the current tool license audit log using
export_license_audit
