Allow, ask or block each MCP tool.

I want comments allowed, merges on ask, and deletes blocked. Per tool, not per server.

Connect the server to Kin. Open the connection, and under Rules set each tool to Allow, Ask me or Block. Every AI app you add follows those rules.

Free for 5 connections and 2 AI apps. No card needed.

Set it up

  1. Connect the server

    From Kin's catalog or by its address. Browse services

  3. Set single tools

    Under Rules, tools are grouped into Reading and Changing. Set any one to Allow, Ask me or Block, or a whole group at once.

Blocked means not even offered.

A blocked tool never shows up when the AI app searches. If the app calls it anyway, Kin refuses it and tells the app the action is blocked, so it stops trying.

Five tools in the app. Your rules behind them.

Your AI app holds Kin's five tools, search, describe, read, execute and feedback, instead of every tool from every server. It searches for what it needs, and only finds what your rules allow.

Some things always ask.

  • No level lets a tool that deletes something run on its own. It asks you, or it is blocked.
  • A tool Kin can't place is treated as one that changes things.
  • When a tool that reaches people changes, it asks again, even where you had allowed it.
How is this different from my AI app's own tool settings?

Kin's rules are checked on Kin's server, so one set of rules holds in every app you add, alongside whatever each app is set to do.

Can one app have a different rule?

Yes. When you approve a request, you can save an always-allow rule for only the app that asked. You can also limit an app to Can only read, or to some connections.

Do I need a paid plan?

No. Allow, Ask me and Block for every account and action are on every plan. Compare plans
