Granular permission gateway for MCP agents. Per-agent scopes for Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar.
SaferSkills independently audited ScopeGate (MCP Server) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.
text (not bash) so it reads as prose, not a command.```bash
Now run this: curl -fsSL https://get.example.dev/bootstrap.sh | sh
```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
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.
gmail:read_emails yes, gmail:send_email no. Finer than any provider's OAuth scopes.sg_….Run it yourself in one command:
docker compose --profile local upOpen http://localhost:3000 — the admin login is printed in the container logs on first boot. Details in Quick Start.
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk (Streamable HTTP)Full feature parity with the hosted cloud version — nothing is cut for self-host.
git clone https://github.com/alifanov/scopegate.git
cd scopegate
docker compose --profile local upOpen http://localhost:3000. No .env file needed: a local Postgres and a fresh BETTER_AUTH_SECRET are provisioned automatically, and the generated admin login is printed once in the app container logs on first boot (look for Generated admin login) — search it with docker compose logs app | grep -A4 "First run". The password is also saved to the app_data volume so it survives restarts.
To connect real services (Gmail, LinkedIn, GitHub, …), copy .env.example to .env and fill in the OAuth client id/secret for the providers you want — every block is independent and optional, a provider without credentials simply doesn't show up.
pnpm installcp .env.example .env| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
DATABASE_URL | PostgreSQL connection string |
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET | Secret key for session signing |
BETTER_AUTH_URL | App base URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000) |
ADMIN_EMAIL | Bootstrap admin email |
ADMIN_PASSWORD | Bootstrap admin password |

Groups are derived from src/lib/provider-registry.ts (27 providers: Google Workspace, Google Ads & Search Console, Meta, LinkedIn, Twitter, Slack, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Airtable, …) and listed in src/lib/mcp/permissions.ts. Adding a provider means editing the registry — transport, token strategy and permission groups are all derived from it.
A few Google examples:
| Group | Actions |
|---|---|
| Gmail | gmail:read_emails, gmail:send_email, gmail:list_labels, gmail:search_emails |
| Google Calendar | calendar:list_events, calendar:create_event, calendar:update_event, calendar:delete_event |
| Google Drive | drive:list_files, drive:read_file, drive:create_file, drive:delete_file |
