Kernora Agent Security

A zero-install security baseline for AI coding agents. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent at one URL and it reads a curated, cited security baseline every session (via a minimal JSON-RPC-over-HTTP MCP subset — works with Claude Code today) — so it stops shipping the mistakes that cause incidents (a hardcoded secret, a curl | bash, a prompt-injected "send this to that URL"). When it catches one, it cites the exact rule.

Advisory grounding, free and open. Real-time blocking against your organization's own decisions — plus a tamper-evident audit ledger for EU AI Act / SOC-2 — is the paid Kernora Axiora Integrity Plane.

Connect in one line

Add it as an MCP server in your agent's config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentsec": { "url": "https://agentsec.kernora.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

That's it — no install, no signup. It's read-only: get_security_baseline sends nothing, and check_action sends only the short action text you choose to pass it (never your files, repo, or environment).

Tools exposed:

• get_security_baseline — the full known-good rule set.
• check_action — pass an action/command; get back the baseline rules that apply, so the agent can self-correct. Advisory only — it does not block.

Or read the rules directly: /baseline.json · /baseline.yaml

What's inside

15 rules across categories including secrets, injection, supply-chain, destructive ops, permissions, transport, data protection, exfiltration, authz, and VCS safety. Every rule cites a real source — OWASP (incl. the LLM Top 10), CWE identifiers, and regulations (EU AI Act, PCI-DSS, HIPAA).

Self-host

It's a single Cloudflare Worker with no dependencies, no storage, and no secrets.

npm install -g wrangler   # if needed
npm test                  # runs the local test suite (node test.mjs)
wrangler deploy           # deploy to your own Cloudflare account

Air-gapped or privacy-strict? Run it on your own infrastructure and point your agents at it.

Free grounds. Paid blocks.

How it relates to endpoint monitors

Endpoint agent monitors (e.g. Perplexity's Numbat) watch for generically suspicious behavior. Kernora Agent Security supplies what they lack: what's known-good for your codebase. The two are complementary — this project can even export its rules for a monitor to enforce.

Honesty note

This endpoint provides advisory grounding only. A matched rule is guidance; an unmatched action is not an assurance of safety. Real-time enforcement and audit are the paid Integrity Plane.

Claude Code plugin (optional, one command)

Instead of the manual MCP config, install the plugin — it bundles the MCP server, a skill that tells your agent to consult the baseline, an advisory PreToolUse hook (warns before risky commands), and helper commands:

/plugin marketplace add kernora-ai/agent-sec
/plugin install kernora-agent-security

Commands: /agentsec-rules (show every rule), /agentsec-check <action>, /agentsec-report (a LOCAL view of how many risky actions it caught — nothing is sent to us). Disable the hook anytime with AGENTSEC_HOOK=0.

See every rule / how effective / how to remove

• See the rules: readable at https://agentsec.kernora.ai/rules · raw at /baseline.json (or .yaml) · or the get_security_baseline MCP tool. Nothing is hidden.
• Effectiveness / reporting: the free tier is stateless and private — we store nothing. The plugin logs flags LOCALLY (~/.agentsec/flags.log); /agentsec-report summarizes them. Full per-action reporting with a tamper-evident audit ledger is the paid Kernora Axiora plane.
• Remove it: Claude Code — claude mcp remove agentsec (+ /plugin uninstall kernora-agent-security if installed). Cursor — delete the agentsec entry from ~/.cursor/mcp.json and restart. It's read-only and stores nothing, so nothing is left behind.
