What it is
Permissions answer who may act; Jev asks whether this call is what they asked for.
What it does: Gates MCP tool calls with Kinde identity plus Jev risk signals and a durable ledger.
Why it belongs in the showcase: Combines IdP permissions with typed decisions before irreversible actions.
Caveats: Starter kit, not a drop-in for every stack.
Evidence
Public MIT repo under kinde-starter-kits, created 2026-09-23, live demo jev-gatehouse.vercel.app (HTTP 200), about 9 stars as of 2026-10-23. Listed in hellogumbo/awesome-jev Benchmarks & research. Guard verifies the Kinde token, checks org permissions/flags, sends non-read calls to Jev (match request, destructive, planted text, exfiltration, risk), writes a ledger row before anything runs, and holds ask-calls for 10 minutes behind a fresh sign-in. Includes ledger, agent console, attack playground, 300-call benchmark and connect pages.
Caveats
- Needs Kinde and TypeSafe credentials for a full live path
- Reads with permission skip Jev by design
- Convex-backed demo architecture
