Opengate MCP

Deterministic, gold-anchored verification for evidence-grounded AI - no LLM judge. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with ai safety, benchmarking and evals and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Opengate MCP

before you install - you'll need

OPENGATE_ADAPTER

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add nickjlamb-opengate -- npx -y @pharmatools/opengate-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nickjlamb-opengate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pharmatools/opengate-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @pharmatools/opengate-mcp - the @pharmatools scope differs from the repo owner (nickjlamb); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.nickjlamb is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
