  • Audit tool usage and resource access patterns in AI applications
  • Detect suspicious module imports or subprocess execution in Python MCP servers

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

bluerock · Install

# Install from PyPI
pip install bluerock[oss]

# Create configuration
echo '{"enable": true, "mcp": true}' > ~/.bluerock/bluerock-oss.json

# Run your Python script with BlueRock
