ThinkNEO MCP Server

MCP serverDev tools

With control-plane added, your AI gains oversight: its activity follows governance rules, stays within guardrails, and its spending is tracked. It also keeps AI use aligned with compliance needs and routes each request intelligently. It is a community-built tool maintained in the thinkneo-ai repository on GitHub.

Use ThinkNEO MCP Server in Claude, ChatGPT or Ahel Desktop

Free. Sign in, add ThinkNEO MCP Server and connect your AI. About a minute.

Also: Claude Code · Cursor · Codex

Then ask your AI: use the thinkneo check spend tool from ThinkNEO MCP Server

Details

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding control-plane, see the repository at github.com/thinkneo-ai/mcp-server for setup guidance. Once it is in place, governance, guardrails, spend tracking, compliance, and smart routing apply to your AI's activity.

What your AI can do with it

  • Apply governance rules to AI activity
  • Enforce guardrails around what the AI can do
  • Track how much AI usage costs
  • Keep AI use aligned with compliance requirements
  • Route each request intelligently to the right place

Install ThinkNEO MCP Server

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user thinkneo-mcp-server 'https://mcp.thinkneo.ai/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://mcp.thinkneo.ai/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=thinkneo-mcp-server&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC50aGlua25lby5haS9tY3AifQ==

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://mcp.thinkneo.ai/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add thinkneo-mcp-server --url 'https://mcp.thinkneo.ai/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login thinkneo-mcp-server if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by thinkneo-ai/mcp-server in README.md.

Open MCP server with built-in defense layer (ThinkShield). Part of the ThinkNEO Platform — enterprise AI governance.


What This Is

An open-source MCP server providing 72 tools for AI governance, observability, and security:

  • ThinkShield — Production defense layer: detection engine, 5 rule packs, runtime middleware. 145 tests, p99 < 1ms.
  • 72 MCP Tools — Governance, guardrails, FinOps, smart routing, observability, compliance, outcome validation, and more.
  • 24 A2A Skills — Bidirectional MCP-A2A bridge for Google's Agent-to-Agent Protocol (v0.3.0, Linux Foundation).
  • Apache-2.0 — Use it, fork it, contribute.

What This Is Not

  • Not the full ThinkNEO Platform. Governance orchestration, cryptographic audit chain, tenant management, and enterprise integrations are proprietary and run at thinkneo.ai.
  • Not a standalone security product. ThinkShield is the defense component of a larger governed platform.

Why Open

We open-source our defense layer because real security doesn't depend on hidden rules — it depends on tested, audited, continuously improved detection plus a strong governance moat around it.

Snort. Suricata. Falco. OWASP CRS. The security industry runs on open detection. We follow that tradition.

The detection is open. The governance is proprietary. That's where the moat is.
