### Description (declared)

# neuraldefend-mcp

`neuraldefend-mcp` 2.0.0 is a secure, local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for
NeuroVerify image and video authenticity analysis. It gives an MCP client two tools while
keeping API credentials out of tool arguments, restricting which local media can be read,
and returning a bounded integration contract instead of the Python SDK's raw response.

Use the results as decision-support signals. A low-risk result is not proof that media is
authentic, and a high-risk result should trigger human review rather than automatic
rejection.

## How it works

The MCP client starts `neuraldefend-mcp` as a child process and communicates with it over
standard input and standard output:

```text
MCP client
  └─ local stdio (MCP JSON-RPC)
      └─ neuraldefend-mcp
          ├─ validates and opens an allowlisted local file once
          └─ streams that open handle over TLS through the NeuroVerify Python SDK
              └─ NeuroVerify Detection API
```

There is no local HTTP listener. Standard output is reserved for the MCP protocol; safe
startup errors are written to standard error. The server does not return media bytes to the
MCP client and does not load an entire video into memory. It validates the opened file
handle and uploads that same bounded handle, reducing path substitution and
time-of-check/time-of-use risk.

## Requirements

- Python 3.10 or newer.
- A NeuralDefend API key authorized for the requested image or video analysis.
- An MCP client that can launch a local stdio server.
- Network access to the selected NeuroVerify API environment.
- Read access to dedicated local directories containing only media authorized for upload.

## Installation

Install the published 2.0.0 release:

```bash
python -m pip install "neuraldefend-mcp==2.0.0"
```

The package installs the `neuraldefend-mcp` command. The equivalent module entry point is:

```bash
python -m neuraldefend_mcp
```

Both entry points run the same stdio-only server. Starting either one direc…
