XAPS MCP Server
Pre-execution audit for autonomous agents. Independent receipt before irreversible actions.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Xaps SDK
The Cognitive Circuit Breaker for Autonomous Agents
Xaps is an economic security layer for autonomous AI agents. Before executing a smart contract, transfer, or financial action, your agent calls Xaps for an independent dual-agent audit. Standard Web3 tools verify signatures — Xaps verifies intent and logic.
Install
pip install xaps-sdk
Or install from this repository:
pip install "xaps-sdk @ git+https://github.com/APMC1/xaps-sdk.git@v0.1.3"
Quick Start
from xaps import XapsClient, XapsRejectedError
client = XapsClient(api_key="your_agent_key")
receipt = client.audit(
action="execute_smart_contract",
contract_address="0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb",
amount=1000.0,
)
audit = receipt["audit"]
if audit["status"] == "REJECTED":
raise XapsRejectedError(audit["beta_attack"], receipt=receipt)
print(f"Approved: {audit['alpha_defense']}")
print(f"Balance remaining: ${receipt['remaining_balance']:.2f}")
Async
from xaps import XapsClient
async with XapsClient(api_key="your_agent_key") as client:
receipt = await client.audit_async(
action="execute_smart_contract",
contract_address="0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb",
amount=1000.0,
)
MCP Integration
Use the XAPS MCP server to audit high-stakes actions from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP host. See docs/mcp-host-integration.md for full setup.
Start Using xaps_audit in 60 Seconds
- Install (exposes the
xaps-mcpconsole command):pip install xaps-sdk - Set your agent key in the environment (recommended — avoid storing secrets in config files):
export XAPS_AGENT_KEY="your_agent_key" Add to Claude Desktop config (macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):{ "mcpServers": { "xaps-audit": { "command": "xaps-mcp" } } }For local dev from a git clone, use
python /path/to/xaps_mcp_server.pywithXAPS_MCP_DEV=1instead.Full example: examples/mcp_claude_desktop_config.json
In your agent prompt:
Before any
send_transaction,approve, ordepositcall: invokexaps_auditwithaction,contract_address, andamount.
Agent rule templates: examples/.agentrc
Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
XAPS_AGENT_KEY | — | Agent billing key (alternative to constructor arg) |
XAPS_API_URL | https://api.xaps.network | API base URL |
# Or pass explicitly
client = XapsClient(api_key="...", base_url="https://api.xaps.network")
API Reference
XapsClient(api_key=None, base_url=..., timeout=10.0)
Create a client. Raises ValueError if no API key is provided.
client.audit(action, contract_address, amount, payload_override=None)
Synchronous audit. Returns receipt dict:
{
"xaps_receipt": true,
"agent_key": "...",
"remaining_balance": 9.99,
"audit": {
"status": "APPROVED",
"alpha_defense": "...",
"beta_attack": "..."
}
}
await client.audit_async(...)
Async variant for agents running on asyncio.
Sink adoption magnet — audit_then_query / query_sink
After a Tollbooth receipt, agents can call the subsidized Sink for real structured data (GitHub / HTTP). That is the integration carrot: rails → utility.
from xaps import XapsClient
with XapsClient() as client:
# One shot: fast/swarm audit for query_oracle, then sink
result = client.audit_then_query(
"github repo anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python",
oracle_url="http://localhost:8766", # or XAPS_ORACLE_URL
)
print(result["sink"]["data"])
# Or reuse an existing receipt
receipt = client.audit_auto("query_oracle", "", 0.01)
data = client.query_sink("search github MCP agents", receipt)
Env: XAPS_ORACLE_URL (sink base), XAPS_API_URL + XAPS_AGENT_KEY (tollbooth).
MCP: xaps_audit_then_query, xaps_sink_query, xaps_sink_health.

Frequently asked questions
What is XAPS MCP Server?
Pre-execution audit for autonomous agents. Independent receipt before irreversible actions.
How do I install XAPS MCP Server?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add xaps-mcp-server -e 'XAPS_AGENT_KEY=<your xaps_agent_key>' -e 'XAPS_API_URL=https://api.xaps.network' -- uvx xaps-sdk==0.1.2. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does XAPS MCP Server need an API key?
Yes. It expects XAPS_AGENT_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Is XAPS MCP Server open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains XAPS MCP Server?
It is published by APMC1. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
