### Description (declared)

# Keel MCP ingress

`keel-mcp-ingress` exposes operator-enrolled, schema-verified managed MCP tools
over standard MCP stdio. It delegates every call to the Keel managed-MCP API.
Listing a tool grants no authority.

## Prerequisites

Use a Keel project with the required plan, active policies, and upstream MCP
servers enrolled by the Keel operator. Server registration and discovery alone
do not confer trust. Custom/unmapped servers are not exposed by this initial
catalog. Initial catalog reads are bounded to 100 enabled servers and 1000
accepted tool contracts per project; larger catalogs return a clear refusal
rather than silently dropping tools. Use managed MCP directly for larger catalogs.
Starter cannot positively authorize arbitrary non-payment MCP calls. With no
enrolled, verified servers, `tools/list` returns an empty catalog.

Obtain a live agent-bound Client key: an owner creates an Admin key; the Admin
creates an AgentPrincipal (`POST /v1/principals`) and a Client key bound to its
`agent_principal_id` (`POST /v1/api-keys`). Keep the Admin/owner and upstream
credentials outside the agent. An ordinary project Runtime/service key has no
agent binding and cannot use this execution path. Upstream secrets stay in Keel.
Because the requester is the agent, the project owner can approve its REVIEW
requests; a request sent with a key the owner holds cannot be self-approved.

## Installation

Requires Python 3.11 or newer.

```sh
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install keel-mcp-ingress==0.1.1
```

Configure any MCP stdio client (including Claude-compatible clients):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keel": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/.venv/bin/keel-mcp",
      "env": {
        "KEEL_BASE_URL": "https://api.keelapi.com",
        "KEEL_API_KEY": "YOUR_AGENT_BOUND_CLIENT_KEY",
        "KEEL_PROJECT_ID": "YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

HTTPS is required; HTTP is accepted only for an isolated loopback runtime.
Project identity is checked …
