Open-source, self-hosted MCP proxy

Every agent tool call, inspected and cleared.

Outpost sits between your AI agents and their MCP tools — self-hosted, inside your own network. It validates every call, pins tool definitions, and flags drift and anomalies before they reach your agent. Your payloads never leave your infrastructure.

One self-hosted checkpoint between agents and everything they touch

Run the Outpost binary inside your own network, in front of your MCP servers. Every call flows through five checkpoints before it reaches a server — payloads never leave your infrastructure.

Structural validation

Every tools/call is checked against its pinned schema synchronously, in under a millisecond — no LLM in the hot path.

See every drift, anomaly, and verdict across your fleet

One dashboard for every Outpost instance you run — built entirely from the metadata your binary reports out, never from raw call payloads.

Where Korneza fits next to the category

Every MCP gateway ships some of this. As of mid-2026, no other public product combines a self-hosted proxy with a published, independently checkable accuracy rate.

Built for engineering and security

Built for engineering

Ship agents that hold up in production — running entirely inside your own network.

  • Self-hosted proxy — one static Go binary, no dependencies
  • Sub-millisecond structural validation on every tools/call
  • Per-tool circuit breaking
  • Continuous schema-drift detection & SHA-256 tool-def pinning
  • Native OpenTelemetry export
Install now

Built for security

Give your security team a control outside the model — with an accuracy rate they can actually check.

  • Tool-poisoning & prompt-injection scanning, on definition change
  • Statistical anomaly detection per tool, per server
  • Published false-positive / false-negative rate every release
  • Payloads never leave your network — only metadata reaches our dashboard
  • Opaque bearer-token forwarding — we never broker or store credentials

Data handling

What we inspect. What we store. What never leaves your network.

  • The Outpost binary runs entirely inside your own network. Tool-call arguments, results, and credentials never leave your infrastructure — not even to our hosted control plane.
  • Only three kinds of metadata ever reach the hosted control plane: SHA-256 hashes of tool definitions, the tool definitions themselves (near-public schema, not customer data), and aggregated numeric statistics — call counts, latency percentiles, error rates.
  • Tool-definition security scanning runs on the hosted control plane against definitions only, triggered on change — never per call, and never against your call payloads.

Built for security review from day one

The checkpoint in front of your agents has to earn the same trust it enforces.

Payloads never leave your network

The proxy runs entirely inside your infrastructure. Only schema hashes, tool definitions, and aggregated statistics ever reach our hosted control plane.

Opaque credential forwarding

Outpost forwards bearer tokens between your agent and your MCP server. It never mints, stores, or brokers OAuth credentials.

Every verdict is structured, never blind trust

Scanner output is treated as untrusted input and validated against a strict schema before it can influence an alert — it never directly drives blocking behavior.

Published, not promised

Our false-positive and false-negative rate against MCPTox, AgentDojo, and MSB is published and refreshed every release.
