Secure AI Adapters for OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, and MCP

MACAW Secure AI Adapters

Drop-in replacements for OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and MCP for deterministic policy-based security controls for enterprise apps.

What This Is

Open source interfaces that add MACAW transparently to popular LLM and Agentic frameworks.

MACAW creates a distributed zero-trust mesh where tool endpoints serve as policy enforcement points, enabling preventative, deterministic security controls - even for non-deterministic LLMs and Agentic applications.

These adapters are thin wrappers that route requests through the MACAW security layer. Change one import line and get:

• Deterministic policy enforcement - Control models, tokens, operations, data access, and actions performed
• Identity propagation - User identity flows through every LLM call for per-user policies
• Cryptographic audit trail - Complete record of all AI operations with signatures
• Zero code changes - Your existing code works unchanged

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install macaw-adapters[all]

# Or install specific adapters only
pip install macaw-adapters[openai]
pip install macaw-adapters[anthropic]
pip install macaw-adapters[langchain]
pip install macaw-adapters[mcp]

From source:

git clone https://github.com/macawsecurity/secureAI.git
pip install "./secureAI[all]"

Quick Start

SecureOpenAI

# Before
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

# After - just change the import
from macaw_adapters.openai import SecureOpenAI
client = SecureOpenAI(app_name="my-app")

# Same API, now with MACAW security
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

SecureAnthropic

# Before
from anthropic import Anthropic
client = Anthropic()

# After
from macaw_adapters.anthropic import SecureAnthropic
client = SecureAnthropic(app_name="my-app")

# Same API
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-haiku-20240307",
    max_tokens=100,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

SecureMCP

from macaw_adapters.mcp import SecureMCP

mcp = SecureMCP("calculator")

@mcp.tool(description="Add two numbers")
def add(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    return a + b

mcp.run()

LangChain

# Before
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

# After
from macaw_adapters.langchain import ChatOpenAI

# Same API
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
response = llm.invoke("Hello!")

Multi-User Support

For SaaS applications with per-user policies:

from macaw_adapters.openai import SecureOpenAI
from macaw_client import MACAWClient, RemoteIdentityProvider

# Create shared service
service = SecureOpenAI(app_name="my-saas")

# Authenticate user
jwt_token, _ = RemoteIdentityProvider().login("alice", "password")
user = MACAWClient(user_name="alice", iam_token=jwt_token, agent_type="user")
user.register()

# Bind user to service - their identity flows through
user_openai = service.bind_to_user(user)

# Policies evaluated against alice's permissions
response = user_openai.chat.completions.create(...)
