Scope Gate MCP Server

Never hand an AI agent a full OAuth scope again. ScopeGate sits between your agents and the accounts they reach - yours or your clients'. You connect a service once, tick the exact actions an agent may call, and hand it an MCP endpoint that can do nothing else. Every call is logged; one click kills the key without touching the connection.

Teams that want a hosted security endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.
