> Human-in-the-loop approval gate and audit log for AI agents

mcp-approvals is a Model Context Protocol server that adds human approval gates to consequential agent actions. It persists approval requests, decisions, and timeouts to an append-only, hash-chained SQLite audit log to detect tampering. It can be installed as a Python CLI, imported as a library, run via Docker, or integrated directly into Claude Desktop.
