[Install nix](https://nixos.org/download/)\n\n2. Enable nix flakes\n```bash\nsudo sh -c 'echo \"experimental-features = nix-command flakes\" >> /etc/nix/nix.conf'\n```\n\n3. Enter dev shell\n```bash\nnix develop\n```\n\n4. Build project\n```bash\njust build-release\n```\n\n5. `mcp-guardian` and `mcp-guardian-proxy` are now in `_build/bin/` which is in `PATH` of the dev shell.\n\n**Quick Start - Windows**\n\n1. [Install git](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win) with symlink support (otherwise you will need to restore `./mcp-guardian/bindings` before building).\n\n2. [Install rustup](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).\n\n3. [Install nodejs](https://nodejs.org/en/download).\n\n4. Install `yarn`.\n```bash\nnpm install --global yarn\n```\n\n5. Install .dll dependencies. The easiest way to do this is to [install Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and install the C++ development packages.\n\n6. Install just\n```bash\ncargo install just\n```\n\n7. Enter repo root with `git-bash` (otherwise `just` won't work and you'll need to call `cargo directly`)\n\n8. Build project\n```bash\njust build-release\n```","tools":"## Available Tools\n\n1. Message Logging (See traces for all of an LLM's MCP server activity)\n2. Message Approvals (Approve and deny individual tool call messages in real time)\n3. Automated Message Scans (Realtime automated checks for safety, privacy, etc (Coming Soon))\n4.
