**Sentinel is a transparent security proxy for MCP.** Point your MCP client at Sentinel
instead of at the server, and every JSON-RPC message passes through byte-for-byte unchanged
while four local engines score it for rug pulls, exfiltration chains, and novel abuse, and
ship redacted OpenTelemetry to a SigNoz you host yourself.

Install the CLI once, globally. One command, no service to run:

```bash
pipx install mcp-sentinel-proxy
```

Now watch it catch two real attacks in about eight seconds. No Docker, no SigNoz, no config,
no checkout. The demo server ships inside the package, so this runs straight off the install:

```bash
sentinel demo
```

```

That is a real proxy in front of a real MCP server, blocking two real attacks in about eight
seconds. (Ports are picked fre…
