AETRE & The Governed Agent

AETRE & The Governed Agent runs locally from a Rust crate published to crates.io: aetre-mcp version 0.8.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs the Rust toolchain; cargo install builds the program.

AETRE & The Governed Agent runs locally from a container image in an OCI registry such as Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/grayclayton/aetre-mcp:0.8.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Docker or another OCI container runtime; started with docker run — the usual command is docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/grayclayton/aetre-mcp:0.8.1.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aetre-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/grayclayton/aetre-mcp:0.8.1"
      ]
    }
  }
}
