MCP TRUSTOPS

Operational trust controls for MCP adoption

TrustOps answers which MCP servers agents are allowed to use, keeps that decision fresh, alerts when risk changes, and exports the result into runtimes, gateways, CI, and admin review.

Runtime decision API
/v1/decide
Agent Permissions Gateway: decide whether this agent may call this tool, with this payload, for this user, right now.
Task routing API
/v1/route
Choose the best server/tool path for a task before a specific attempted call exists.
Hosted runtime
Host trusted MCP servers with GitHub deployments, secrets, egress controls, releases, and audit events.
Audit ledger
/v1/ledger/evidence-pack
Immutable, decision-aware execution history with policy snapshots, risk snapshots, mandates, outcomes, and cost evidence.
Mandate vault
/v1/mandates
Store signed user or company approvals for delegated agent actions, budgets, scopes, validity windows, and tool constraints.
Docs compiler
Generate MCP drafts, server cards, llms.txt, schemas, examples, and policy metadata from OpenAPI, Markdown, Postman, websites, PDFs, and help centers.
Policy exports
JSON, Rego, YAML
Also exports GitHub Action, gateway config, and client readiness reports.
Publisher wedge
Claim + Verify
Verified owners get priority revalidation, badges, monitoring, and authenticated validation workflows.
Private registry
Internal MCP inventory
Scan private endpoints and repos, rank internal tools, and export workspace allowlists.

Platform modules

Verify Registry, Cloud, Gateway, Ledger, and Mandates share one trust model: server evidence, policy, user authorization, runtime context, and audit proof stay linked.

Verify Registry
discover + score
Public and private MCP inventory with comparison, rankings, reports, and risk inventory.
Verify Cloud
host + monitor
Sandboxed hosted runtime with secrets, egress controls, releases, rollback, uptime, and validation.
Verify Gateway
decide
Runtime allow, deny, or approval-required decisions for agent, user, server, tool, payload, and cost.
Verify Ledger
prove
Compliance-grade execution logs and replayable decision trails for agent incidents and evidence packs.
Verify Mandates
authorize
Consent records for delegated agent actions: scope, budget, validity, signature, and tool constraints.
Docs Compiler
become agent-ready
Turn existing product docs into generated MCP surfaces that can be validated, hosted, governed, and audited.

Fresh trusted index

Buyer decisions should default to fresh, confidence-weighted evidence. Long-tail servers remain searchable, but stale or never-validated scores are visibly separated from servers that meet a freshness SLA.

Fresh evidence
Prioritize servers validated within the configured freshness window.
Long-tail inventory
Keep discoverability without treating old evidence as a production decision.
Synthetic route checks
/healthz/routes
Rankings, shortlists, RSS, Healthcare, ChatGPT-compatible, and Claude-compatible pages are probed for render stability.

Authenticated validation is premium

Public validation is free. Paid authenticated validation lets publishers provide test credentials, run authorized tool calls, verify scopes per tool, detect overbroad scopes, and prove write-action confirmation flows.

Publisher setup
Claim → Plan → Credentials
The management page accepts verified claim tokens, plan selection, alert watches, and scheduled authenticated credentials.
TrustOps gate
tier-enforced
Authenticated credential storage requires the configured TrustOps feature tier.

AI admins and marketplaces
Enterprise
Private registry + custom controls: private scans, compliance evidence exports, admin reports, and workspace allowlists.
Freshness: Custom SLA and private scan schedule
Next: Custom deployment, support, and integrations.

Demo flow

Step 1
Vet an MCP server
Open the report, read the executive verdict, and separate client compatibility from production trust.
Step 2
Export policy
Generate JSON, Rego, YAML, CI, or gateway rules from the same evidence.
Step 3
Decide an agent call
Use /v1/decide to allow safe calls, block risky payloads, and require approval where needed.
Step 4
Record the evidence
Persist the decision, mandate, policy snapshot, risk snapshot, cost, and outcome in the audit ledger.
Step 5
Subscribe to alerts
Watch the server, category, shortlist, or private inventory for score, schema, auth, and freshness changes.

Alerting

Watch servers, categories, shortlists, or team inventories and trigger email, Slack, Teams, webhook, RSS, GitHub issue, or PagerDuty-style routes.

Status changes Score drops or recovers Freshness SLA breach Validation schema drift OAuth or auth behavior changes Tool surface changes New or changed write tool Supply-chain signal changes Legal or compliance metadata changes
