ScopeGate

AI Access Proxy Layer. Connect external services (e.g. Google), define granular permissions, and receive an MCP endpoint URL for use in AI agents. Acts as a permission gateway — exposing only the specific capabilities you authorize, more granular than native OAuth scopes.

Tech Stack

• Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
• Language: TypeScript
• Database: PostgreSQL + Prisma 7
• UI: Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui
• Auth: Better Auth (database-backed sessions, Prisma adapter)
• MCP: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (Streamable HTTP)
• Package Manager: pnpm

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• PostgreSQL

Setup

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

pnpm install

2. Copy the environment file and fill in your values:

cp .env.example .env

Variable	Description
DATABASE_URL	PostgreSQL connection string
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET	Secret key for session signing
BETTER_AUTH_URL	App base URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000)
ADMIN_EMAIL	Bootstrap admin email
ADMIN_PASSWORD	Bootstrap admin password

3. Run database migrations:

pnpm prisma migrate dev

4. Start the development server:

pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

How It Works

1. Login — sign in with admin credentials (bootstrapped from env vars on first run)
2. Create a Project — organize endpoints and services by project
3. Connect a Service — add a service connection to the project
4. Create an MCP Endpoint — select a service connection and pick specific permissions (e.g. gmail:read_emails, calendar:create_event)
5. Use the MCP URL — plug the endpoint URL into any MCP-compatible AI agent; only the allowed actions are exposed
6. Monitor — track every request in the audit log

Permissions

Permissions are defined in src/lib/mcp/permissions.ts and grouped by service:

Group	Actions
Gmail	gmail:read_emails, gmail:send_email, gmail:list_labels, gmail:search_emails
Google Calendar	calendar:list_events, calendar:create_event, calendar:update_event, calendar:delete_event
Google Drive	drive:list_files, drive:read_file, drive:create_file, drive:delete_file

Database Schema

• User — authentication, team membership
• Session — database-backed auth sessions
• Account — auth provider credentials (email/password)
• Project — logical grouping for services and endpoints
• TeamMember — user-project relationship with roles (owner/member)
• ServiceConnection — OAuth tokens for connected services
• McpEndpoint — MCP endpoint with API key, rate limit, active status
• EndpointPermission — allowed actions per endpoint
• AuditLog — request log with action, status, duration, errors
