Hejdar MCP Server

What is Hejdar?

Hejdar is an MCP server that exposes the hejdar_evaluate tool to allow MCP-compatible AI agents (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to check whether an intended action is permitted by organizational policy before executing it. It is a thin wrapper around the Hejdar API (POST /v1/evaluate) and contains no policy logic itself — all decisions come from the user's Hejdar organization's configured policies.

How to use Hejdar?

Install via pip install hejdar-mcp or run directly with uvx hejdar-mcp. Obtain an API key from app.hejdar.com (Settings → API Keys). Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or direct stdio) by setting the HEJDAR_API_KEY environment variable and pointing to the hejdar-mcp command. Once configured, your agent can call hejdar_evaluate with parameters action_type, resource, and optional agent_name and context.
