What is GSEP-MCP?

There are 9,400+ MCP servers. All of them give your agent new tools — Notion, GitHub, Slack, databases.

GSEP-MCP is different. It gives your agent security, safety, and self-improvement — without writing a single line of code.

Works with: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, n8n, Make, any MCP client.

Integrations

GSEP-MCP supports two transports: stdio (for desktop apps and IDEs) and HTTP (for servers, backends, and automation platforms). Pick the one that matches your environment.

---

stdio Transport (Desktop / IDE)

stdio is the simplest transport. The MCP client launches GSEP-MCP as a subprocess and communicates via stdin/stdout. No port, no server, no network.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Your agent is now protected.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or global ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline / Continue / Any MCP-compatible IDE

Add the same config block to your IDE's MCP settings file. GSEP-MCP is compatible with any client that implements the MCP protocol.

OpenClaw / Genome

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
        "GSEP_PRESET": "full"
      }
    }
  }
}

With Ollama (local models — no API key needed)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gsep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gsep/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OLLAMA_HOST": "http://localhost:11434",
        "GSEP_PRESET": "full"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

HTTP Transport (Servers / Backends / Automation)

HTTP mode runs GSEP-MCP as a standalone server. Use this when your agent lives in a backend, a cloud service, or an automation platform.

Start the server:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... npx @gsep/mcp --http
# MCP endpoint:  http://localhost:3100/mcp
# Health check:  http://localhost:3100/health

Session model (v1.0.3+): Send initialize first — the server returns an mcp-session-id header. Include that header in all subsequent requests. Do not open a new connection per call.

n8n

1. Start GSEP-MCP server (locally or on Railway/Render)
2. In your n8n workflow add an HTTP Request node:
   • Method: POST
   • URL: http://your-gsep-server:3100/mcp
   • Body (JSON):

   {
     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
     "id": 1,
     "method": "tools/call",
     "params": {
       "name": "gsep_chat",
       "arguments": {
         "genome_id": "n8n-agent",
         "message": "{{ $json.message }}",
         "user_id": "{{ $json.userId }}"
       }
     }
   }
   

   • Header: mcp-session-id: {{ $json.sessionId }}

For n8n: initialize once at workflow start, store the mcp-session-id, and reuse it across nodes.

Make (Integromat)

Use the HTTP → Make a request module pointing to http://your-gsep-server:3100/mcp with the same JSON-RPC 2.0 payload above.

Python (Django / FastAPI / Celery)

Install the MCP Python SDK:

pip install mcp httpx

# gsep_client.py
import asyncio
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client
from mcp import ClientSession

GSEP_URL = "http://localhost:3100/mcp"

async def gsep_chat(genome_id: str, message: str, user_id: str = "user") -> dict:
    async with streamablehttp_client(GSEP_URL) as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            result = await session.call_tool("gsep_chat", {
                "genome_id": genome_id,
                "message": message,
                "user_id": user_id,
            })
            return result

async def gsep_scan_input(content: str) -> dict:
    async with streamablehttp_client(GSEP_URL) as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            result = await session.call_tool("gsep_scan_input", {
                "content": content,
                "source": "user",
            })
            return result

In a Celery task:

# tasks.py
from celery import shared_task
import asyncio
from .gsep_client import gsep_chat, gsep_scan_input

@shared_task
def process_message(genome_id: str, message: str, user_id: str):
    scan = asyncio.run(gsep_scan_input(message))
    if scan.get("blocked"):
        return {"blocked": True, "reason": scan.get("detections")}
    return asyncio.run(gsep_chat(genome_id, message, user_id))

Node.js / TypeScript Backend

npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js';

const client = new Client({ name: 'my-backend', version: '1.0.0' });
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL('http://localhost:3100/mcp'));

await client.connect(transport);

const result = await client.callTool('gsep_chat', {
  genome_id: 'my-agent',
  message: userMessage,
  user_id: userId,
});

console.log(result);

Deploy on Railway

1. Create a new Railway service
2. Set start command: npx @gsep/mcp --http
3. Set environment variables:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GSEP_PRESET=full
GSEP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0
GSEP_HTTP_PORT=$PORT

1. Your Django/Celery service connects via Railway internal networking:

GSEP_URL = "http://gsep-mcp.railway.internal:$PORT/mcp"

Generic HTTP (any language)

Any HTTP client that supports JSON-RPC 2.0 works. The pattern is always:

# Step 1 — Initialize (once per session)
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0.0"}}}

# Response includes header: mcp-session-id: <uuid>

# Step 2 — Call any tool (reuse session ID)
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json
mcp-session-id: <uuid from step 1>

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"gsep_chat","arguments":{"genome_id":"my-agent","message":"Hello","user_id":"user-1"}}}

How It Works

Every message through your agent flows through the GSEP pipeline:

User message
     ↓
[C3] Content Firewall — 53 patterns scan for prompt injection
     ↓
[C1/C2] Evolved genes injected — prompts improved since last session
     ↓
     LLM call (your Claude, GPT-4, or Ollama)
     ↓
[C4] Behavioral Immune System — 6 checks on the response
     ↓
[C5] Action Firewall — scans for rm -rf, DROP DB, and 80+ dangerous commands
     ↓
     Fitness recorded → evolution triggered if drift detected
     ↓
Protected response returned to your agent

Zero code changes to your agent. GSEP-MCP sits between your MCP client and the LLM.

Changelog

v1.0.3

• fix(http): Persist session transport across requests — fixes tool call timeout in HTTP mode. Previously a new StreamableHTTPServerTransport was created per request, destroying session state. Now uses a sessions Map keyed by mcp-session-id.

v1.0.2

• feat: Initial public release — 6 MCP tools, stdio + HTTP transports, C3/C4/C5 protection, self-evolving prompts.
• feat: Published to official MCP Registry (io.github.gsepcore/gsep-mcp).
