Haldir MCP Server
Your AI agent can call any API, spend any amount of money, and access any secret - with zero oversight. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with audit, compliance and governance and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Haldir
before you install - you'll need
HALDIR_API_KEY
Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.
Claude Code
claude mcp add exposureguard-haldir -- uvx haldir Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"exposureguard-haldir": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"haldir"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package haldir - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.ExposureGuard is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Haldir FAQ
What is Haldir?
Your AI agent can call any API, spend any amount of money, and access any secret - with zero oversight. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Haldir still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-18. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Haldir?
Run `uvx haldir`. The README documents one environment variable (HALDIR_API_KEY) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Haldir run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
