What this does
aegis exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.
Requirements
This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:
AEGIS_MASTER_KEY AEGIS_SALT AEGIS_DATA_DIR AEGIS_PORT AEGIS_LOG_LEVEL AEGIS_LOG_FORMAT AEGIS_VAULT AEGIS_REQUIRE_AGENT_AUTH AEGIS_POLICY_MODE AEGIS_POLICIES_DIR AEGIS_METRICS
Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).
