Setup
1. Get a Koru Shield API key
Sign in at https://my.korushield.com, go to API keys, and create one. Copy the key.
2. Install
No install needed. Run directly with npx:
npx -y korushield-mcp-server
Set your key as an environment variable:
export KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY="your-key-here"
Optional: KORU_SHIELD_API_URL overrides the API base URL (default https://my.korushield.com/api).
3. Connect your AI client
Claude Code
claude mcp add koru-shield -- npx -y korushield-mcp-server
(Claude Code passes environment through, so export KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY first. Or use the HTTP transport below with a header.)
Cursor / VS Code
Add to your MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json or VS Code mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"koru-shield": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "korushield-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"koru-shield": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "korushield-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
}
}
}
}
HTTP transport (remote)
For clients that connect over HTTP (agents, hosted setups):
MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 KORU_SHIELD_API_KEY="your-key-here" npx -y korushield-mcp-server
Or pass the key per-request instead of the env var:
POST https://your-host/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <koru-shield-api-key>
Health check: GET /healthz.
Security notes
- Your API key grants full control of your Koru Shield account, including deleting rules and schedules. Treat it like a password.
- Prefer a dedicated API key for AI assistants so you can revoke it independently.
- The server never logs or transmits your key anywhere except to the Koru Shield API.
Development
