Runtime Protection
Protecting live AI agents from unsafe MCP tool calls with SpiderShield hooks and proxies.
Last updated: · 2 questions in this topic · Based on 15,923 rated MCP servers
How do I protect my AI agents in real time?
SpiderShield provides runtime protection via hooks and proxy guards that intercept every MCP tool call and check it against our trust database of 15,923 rated servers. For Claude Code, use the PreToolUse hook (spidershield guard install claude-code). For any other MCP client, use the universal proxy (spidershield proxy --client cursor). Tools with grade F or failing hard constraints are blocked automatically; lower-risk issues surface as warnings. Setup takes 2–3 minutes. See the methodology page for policy configuration.
Which AI clients does SpiderRating support?
SpiderRating and SpiderShield support all major MCP clients, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Cline, and any custom client using the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk or Python mcp SDK. The Decision API is client-agnostic — any HTTP-capable agent can query it. Runtime protection works through PreToolUse hooks (Claude Code) or a transparent proxy layer (all other clients). LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations are on our roadmap for Q2 2026.
