Release Gate

Overview

Release Gate is an MCP server that audits AI agent code before deployment, catching security risks that generic SAST tools miss. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can invoke Release Gate's tools directly during conversations or agent runs, letting the model decide when security review is needed.

It runs locally on your machine via the Python package release-gate, installed with uvx release-gate. The server communicates over stdio and requires no credentials to get started. The current release is v0.8.4, published under the MIT license with source code at VamsiSudhakaran1/release-gate on GitHub.

Release Gate belongs in the AI & Agents category and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain Release Gate, claim this listing to verify ownership, earn a Verified badge, and keep information up to date.
