What you can do

What your AI can do with Footgun

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

“Use “lookup_traps”: Call before writing code against a third-party API, platform, or AI tool. Returns verified, dated failure modes with fixes.”

“Use “search_traps”: Call when a call to a third-party service fails. Paste the error text. Returns the closest verified traps with fixes.”

“Use “file_trap”: Draft a trap after a failure was fixed. Private by default with a Pro or Team key; public filings enter the review queue. A public trap is r.”

“Use “confirm_trap”: Record that a trap is still true (or not), with optional hours lost and version seen. Needs an API key.”

Security check

How secure is the Footgun MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Footgun holds up.

✓ Verified directory serverFootgun · getfootgun.com

Official endpoint

Operated by Footgun (getfootgun.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

No sign-in needed

This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If Footgun adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there an official Footgun MCP server?

Yes — Footgun operates its own remote MCP server at getfootgun.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

How do I connect Footgun to Claude or ChatGPT?

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Footgun in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Footgun's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. Footgun runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the Footgun MCP server safe to connect?

It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
