### Description (declared)

# extensible-mcp

extensible-mcp is a proxy that sits between an LLM and the universe of MCP servers, providing on-demand tool retrieval and a deterministic enforcement point for access control. Tool definitions don't need to live in the prompt, sensitive credentials don't need to live in the LLM's context, and security policies are evaluated by code rather than by the model.

## Why: Security

LLMs cannot be trusted to manage their own security. They hallucinate, they have no reliable line between "instruction" and "data," and they can be manipulated by anything they read — a tool result, a scraped web page, an email, a message from another agent. Any claim an LLM makes about what a user wants, or what a counterparty has agreed to, has to be treated as hearsay: unverifiable on its own, and worthless as authorization for a sensitive action. Enforcement has to live outside the model, in deterministic code the model cannot talk its way around, and secrets have to stay out of its context entirely — that premise is argued in full under [Threat Model](#threat-model) below.

extensible-mcp is built as that enforcement point. Every operation between the LLM and the outside world — which servers it can load, which tools it can find, which calls actually go through, what comes back — passes through a filter pipeline evaluated by code, never by the model. And where a decision needs to rest on more than the model's say-so, the policy-bundle engine requires cryptographically signed evidence — a Verifiable Credential, a WebAuthn passkey assertion — in place of a claim the LLM typed.

### The Order Pizza demo: Zero Trust, fully elaborated

Two things in this repo carry that idea. A [**policy bundle**](#policy-bundles) is how a policy over signed evidence is written and attached to the filter pipeline — a manifest, a fetch plan, human-facing guidance, and the rules themselves in Rego compiled to WASM, in CEL, or in Cedar.
