What it does

mcpcut sits between your MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop) and the MCP servers you already use. In front of them it adds no tools of its own and passes theirs through; since 0.4.0 it can also give an agent folders through a built-in file server.

  • Journal: every request and response goes to a local journal with secrets redacted. mcpcut sessions and mcpcut show <id> read it back.
  • Emergency brake: with a policy, a risky tool is held for your approval, denied, or confirmed by you right in the client session. An approval covers exactly that one call, while the agent waits.
  • Folders: built-in file tools over the folders you declare, with rights per agent, private subfolders carved out, a trash instead of deletes and an audit of every file call.
  • Proof: the journal is tamper-evident with an external anchor; export --report and verify check it offline.
  • Start: npx -y mcpcut@0.4.1 adopt shows what would change, npx -y mcpcut@0.4.1 adopt --apply puts mcpcut in front of your servers. A copy of every file it touches is kept; adopt --undo puts them back.
  • Everything runs on your machine. Apache-2.0 · https://mcpcut.com

Quickstart

Run once first — the server needs this before it answers:

npx -y mcpcut@0.4.1 adopt
# 1 — add it to Claude Code claude mcp add --scope user rostislavmatov-mcpcut '--' npx -y mcpcut wrap --server '<server_name>' -- '<server_command>'

Put your own values in place of <server_name>, <server_command> before you run this.

mcpcut costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
