Quick Start

Get Keypost running in front of your MCP server in 5 minutes.

1. Create an account

Sign up at keypost.ai using your email. You'll receive a magic link to sign in.

2. Create a Keypost

A "Keypost" is a proxied MCP server with policies attached. Create one from your dashboard:

  1. Click New Keypost
  2. Enter a name (e.g., "GitHub Production")
  3. Enter your MCP server's URL (the upstream you want to proxy)
  4. Click Create

You'll get a Keypost URL like https://abc123xyz.keypost.ai/mcp

3. Add a policy

Start with a simple access policy. From your Keypost's page:

  1. Click Add Policy
  2. Choose Access Control template
  3. Select which tools to allow or deny
  4. Click Save

4. Update your agent config

Replace your MCP server URL with the Keypost URL. For Claude Desktop, edit your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://abc123xyz.keypost.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

5. Test it

Use your AI agent as normal. Check the Audit Log in your dashboard to see requests flowing through with policy decisions.
