Runx MCP Server

the governed runtime for agent skills A skill is expertise published as a portable SKILL.md: an operating manual that a human can understand and an agent can act from. Skills compose into graphs and real work without bespoke glue code. Runx supplies the boundary: it admits each act under explicit authority, delivers credentials without turning them into prompt material, supervises execution, and seals the result…. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with agent orchestration, ai governance and provenance and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Runx

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add runxhq-runx --transport http https://api.runx.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "runxhq-runx": {
      "url": "https://api.runx.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 remote - your agent's requests go to api.runx.ai

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

registry vendor namespace ai.runx - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
