scamgate MCP
scamgate is a self-hosted MCP server that acts as a checkpoint for AI agents. It verifies links and payments before the agent acts, using deterministic rules to return allow, ask, or deny verdicts with reasons. It requires no network calls during checks and integrates with MCP clients, Hermes, and Claude Code.
