Quickstart (MCP client)

If you already use an MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a custom client — you can govern every tool call it makes by pointing it at a Guardyx endpoint. Setup is a config change, not a migration.

Add the Guardyx endpoint

Section titled “Add the Guardyx endpoint”

Add the following to your MCP client config. The host and API key are per-tenant values shown in the portal’s Agent created modal.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "guardyx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://your-guardyx-host/v1/mcp",
        "--header", "X-API-Key:gx_live_YOUR_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What happens next

Section titled “What happens next”

Once connected, every tool call the client makes is routed through Guardyx: policy is evaluated, sensitive actions are held for approval, and the full request/decision/outcome is captured in the run trace.
