About Covenant Guard

Covenant Guard is an MCP server published by opencovenant.org. Hard spend cap, OS sandbox, and signed receipts for unattended coding agents like Claude Code.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package covenant-guard.mcpb at version 0.1.1.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 0.1.1 was published on 13 July 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
