Build and manage policy-compliant AI agents with safety enforcement and compliance checking

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server for creating, testing, deploying and auditing policy-compliant AI agents with built-in safety policies and compliance checks.

What you can do
Create and manage agents: build agents from natural-language descriptions, attach safety policies, test them in dry-run mode, deploy locally or to cloud, and check status and metrics. Policies: create custom policies from descriptions and browse built-in policy and compliance templates. Approvals: raise approval requests for sensitive actions. Audit and compliance: query the audit trail and check agents against frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS. Templates: browse agent and policy template libraries.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to scaffold autonomous agents with guardrails, run dry-run tests before deployment, or produce audit and compliance reports for agent workflows. Less relevant if you only need a single simple tool call.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically via npx agentos-mcp-server, so Node.js is needed. Optional environment variables: AGENTOS_POLICY_MODE (strict or permissive), AGENTOS_LOG_LEVEL, AGENTOS_DATA_DIR, and AGENTOS_API_KEY for cloud features. Data is stored locally in the data directory by default.
Before you install
Deploying agents can start automation that acts on real data, including email, files, databases and cloud storage; test in dry-run mode first. Policy mode permissive only warns on violations, so strict is safer. AGENTOS_API_KEY is requested for cloud features. Audit logs and agent configurations are written to the local data directory.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Agentos in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Configure Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "agentos": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "agentos-mcp-server"],      "env": {        "AGENTOS_POLICY_MODE": "strict"      }    }  }}

Claude will:

  1. Create the agent with appropriate configuration
  2. Suggest safety policies based on the task
  3. Let you test before deployment
  4. Deploy with monitoring enabled
