mcp-governance

MCP Tool Governance — Specification Standard, Service Discovery & Error Contract.

Overview

Provides the platform-wide standard for MCP tool governance per ADR-010:

• mcp_governance.spec — Pydantic v2 models (ToolSpec, ParamSpec, ReturnSpec) + enums
• mcp_governance.response — Structured error contract (ok(), fail(), from_ssh())
• mcp_governance.spec.validator — Schema validation and compliance checking

Installation

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Usage

Define a ToolSpec

from mcp_governance.spec import ToolSpec, ToolCategory, ParamSpec

spec = ToolSpec(
    name="docker_manage",
    server="deployment_mcp",
    description="Manage Docker containers and compose stacks on remote servers via SSH",
    category=ToolCategory.DEVOPS_DEPLOY,
    tags=["docker", "compose"],
)

Structured Responses

from mcp_governance.response import ok, fail

# Success
return ok({"containers": [...]}, suggestion="Use compose_ps for overview")

# Failure
return fail("Container not found", code="NOT_FOUND", retryable=False)

Validate Specs

from mcp_governance.spec.validator import validate_spec

result = validate_spec(spec)
if not result.is_valid:
    print(result.errors)

Testing

PYTHONPATH=. python3.11 -m pytest tests/ -v
