filesystem · Summary
A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.
agentidentityprotocol · Summary
AIP provides zero-trust security layer for MCP agents with policy enforcement, human approval, and audit logging.
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
agentidentityprotocol · Use cases
- Securing MCP agents from prompt injection attacks by blocking unauthorized tool calls
- Enforcing compliance requirements through audit trails for AI agent actions
- Implementing granular access control for AI agents operating on critical systems

The project is currently under development with a Go implementation available. To set up AIP as a proxy for your MCP server:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/openagentidentityprotocol/agent-identity-protocol.git - Follow the Go implementation documentation at https://github.com/openagentidentityprotocol/aip-go
- Configure AIP as a sidecar proxy between your MCP client and server
For Claude Desktop integration (once available):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aip-proxy": {
"command": "go",
"args": ["run", "."],
"env": {
"AIP_REGISTRY_URL": "https://registry.aip.io"
}
}
