Description

We've been building with AI tools and noticed there wasn't a good way to manage MCP servers across a team or see what's actually flowing to LLM providers. Who's running what? Which tools are approved? What data is going where or whats shared on AI websites?So we built CyberCage (<https://cybercage.io>).What it does:MCP Management — Auto or manual discovery of MCP servers, with approval workflows. Manage allowed MCP servers org-wide (down to individual tools). Secure MCP catalog (integrates with GitHub's MCP Catalog).Operations — Manage allowed AI applications org-wide. Full audit logs (Splunk integration available). Notifications via Slack, Teams, Webex, webhooks.Works with:AI IDEs: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity. Low-code platforms: n8n (native integration).In private beta:On-device network agent for configured AI domains. Content inspection for PII and sensitive data. Packet metadata anomaly analysis.Coming soon:BYOLLM (bring your own models for inspection). Browser extensions.See it in action: <https://youtu.be/Zy7XhkQkUlk>We built this for visibility and control over AI tooling without slowing teams down.P.S. We're planning to open source CyberSmol v1.0 — a small model fine-tuned for AI threat detection — once it's ready.Happy to answer questions ♥

Could you build this?

Partial A basic UI dashboard is vibe-codeable, but creating an enterprise security proxy that transparently intercepts MCP RPC streams and performs real-time DLP/policy enforcement requires non-trivial network security infra.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires an inline proxy or sidecar daemon that intercepts JSON-RPC/MCP protocol messages over stdio or WebSockets, running sub-millisecond regex/embedding DLP pipelines and policy checks. It demands network infrastructure engineering, low-latency stream processing, and infosec expertise to safely manage secrets and enforce RBAC without breaking LLM workflows.
