How It Works

Two paths to add Shield. Pick the one that fits your setup. Both give you the same dashboard, the same controls, the same peace of mind.

Path A: SDK

1

Install the SDK

Add Shield to your project with one command.

Terminal
npm install multicorn-shield
2

Add to your agent code

Initialize Shield and request consent from users.

TypeScript
import { MulticornShield } from "multicorn-shield";

const shield = new MulticornShield({
  apiKey: "mcs_your_key_here",
});
3

Consent screen shown

Users review and approve what the agent wants to do — before it acts.

4

Actions logged

Every action recorded with a tamper-evident audit trail.

5

View in your dashboard

See all agent activity, permissions, and spending in one place.

Everything you need to govern AI agents

One SDK to define what agents can do, track what they did, and keep your users in control.

Consent screens

A drop-in approval screen so users can review and approve what an agent wants to do, before it acts. Framework-agnostic, works everywhere.

Spending controls

Set per-transaction, daily, and monthly limits. Know exactly what your agents spend and stop them before they go over budget.

Activity logging

A tamper-evident audit trail of every action every agent takes. See what happened, when, and why, with hash-chain integrity.

Permission management

Define exactly what each agent can access, like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and GitHub, with granular, per-service permissions.

MCP integration

Middleware for Model Context Protocol servers. Sits between agents and tools, enforcing permissions on every call automatically.

Open source

MIT-licensed, fully auditable. Read the code, run the tests, extend it for your needs. No black boxes.

Team policies

Set organisation-wide rules for what agents can do. Apply policies across teams so every agent follows the same guardrails.

Approval workflows

Require sign-off for high-risk actions. Route approvals automatically based on action type or spending amount.

This is how the consent screen appears to your users. Try toggling permissions, adjusting the spending limit, and approving or denying the agent.

Already using an MCP server with Claude Code, OpenClaw, or another agent? Add Shield as a proxy in front of it.

1

Install

Terminal
npm install -g multicorn-shield
2

Set up your API key

Terminal
npx multicorn-proxy init
3

Wrap your MCP server

Terminal
npx multicorn-proxy --wrap npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp

See it in action

Run the proxy, make a tool call, and watch it appear in the dashboard in real time.

Terminal

$ npx multicorn-proxy --wrap npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp
