Midplane

ai.midplane/midplanev0.20.0Monitoring & Logs

Safe-by-default SQL guardrails for AI agents: AST-checked queries, per-table policy, audit log.

The current version, v0.20.0, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-25. It is distributed as midplane on npm and as the Docker image docker.io/midplane/midplane:0.20.0, filed under Monitoring & Logs by this index, and declares 5 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using Midplane in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-16).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins Midplane’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Cite this record

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Environment variables

DATABASE_URL

requiredsecret

Postgres connection string the agent's queries run against. Give it a least-privilege role: Midplane constrains what SQL is allowed, it does not widen or narrow what the role itself can reach.

MIDPLANE_POLICY_FILE

Path to a policy YAML granting per-table read/read_write access, tenant scoping, and column masking. Omit for the safe default: reads allowed, writes and DDL denied. Generate one with `npx midplane init`.

DB_PATH

Where the local SQLite audit log is written. Defaults to ~/.midplane/audit.db; read it back with `midplane audit denies`.

MIDPLANE_TELEMETRY

Set to 0 to disable anonymous usage telemetry (DO_NOT_TRACK=1 also works). Never includes SQL, table or column names, or identifiers.

DATABASE_URL

requiredsecret

Postgres connection string the agent's queries run against. Pass it with --env-file, never with an inline -e: a DSN on the docker command line leaks the password to `ps aux` and your shell history.

MIDPLANE_POLICY_FILE

Path (inside the container) to a policy YAML granting per-table read/read_write access, tenant scoping, and column masking. Omit for the safe default: reads allowed, writes and DDL denied.

PORT

Port the Streamable HTTP transport binds. Must match the url above if changed.

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 967,231). Verify it yourself.
