    How to connect

    How to connect MCP Verification Gate: conformance and disclosure checker for MCP servers to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://gate.horizonshield.dev/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect MCP Verification Gate: conformance and disclosure checker for MCP servers to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://gate.horizonshield.dev/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

    Manually:

    1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
    2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).

    Server tool list (5)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    get_conditionsReturn the five conditions this gate measures, what it explicitly does not verify, and the tier definitions. Takes no arguments and returns identical output every time. Read this before running a check so you know what a verdict does and does not claim.
    check_conformanceMeasure a public MCP endpoint against five conditions: it speaks MCP, it publishes an A2A agent card, it declares who pays it, identical input returns identical output, and the verdict itself can be recomputed by anyone. Free, no key. Conformance and disclosure only; this says nothing about whether any figure the checked server returns is correct. By default no tool on the checked server is called, so determinism comes back as not measured rather than guessed. Set allow_tool_call true only for a server you control.
    verify_verdictTake a verdict this gate issued and recompute its record_sha256 independently. Removes record_sha256 and recompute_note, serialises the remainder in key order, and hashes it. Returns whether the verdict was altered after it was issued. You do not have to trust the party that issued the verdict, including this one.
    lookup_serverLook up what this register already holds about an MCP endpoint: whether it is watched, how often it is re-measured, how many measurements exist, when the first and latest were taken, and the latest verdict with the record_sha256 you can recompute yourself. Reads stored measurements only. It contacts nothing and measures nothing, so use check_conformance for a fresh reading. An endpoint that is absent is reported as absent and that is NOT a negative verdict: it means nobody has measured it here, not that it failed.
    is_verifiedA single machine-first answer for an agent deciding whether to trust an MCP endpoint BEFORE it connects. Returns verified (true only when the latest scheduled measurement passed every measured condition; null otherwise, never false), a state enum saying which case it is, measured_at, and a record_sha256 with a recompute_url so you can check the verdict without trusting this gate. Reads the stored register only: it contacts nothing and measures nothing. Absent and pending are reported honestly and are NOT negative verdicts. For a fresh measurement rather than the stored one, use check_conformance.
