Stop hoping your AI coding agents didn't break production. Prove it before they commit.
Headron pairs an open-source verification engine with the hosted Mind API to bring deterministic contracts, intelligent orchestration, and native Model Context Protocol (MCP) governance to modern agentic workflows.
Why Agentic Development Needs More Than Code Generation
AI agents can draft complex pull requests in seconds, but LLMs cannot reliably verify their own code. Hallucinated passes, bypassed unit tests, and regression loops burn prompt tokens and engineering hours.
Headron acts as the immutable gatekeeper between your agents and your codebase:
- Tells Agents What to Prove: Automatically instructs agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenHands) on the exact commands required to validate changes based on modified files.
- Enforces Cryptographic Receipts: Skipped checks are treated as failures. Pull requests land only when all deterministic contracts pass.
- Slashes Context Overhead: Replaces full-tree repository dumps with targeted file-to-rule mappings and a failure ledger, cutting token load by up to 89%.
Two Engines. One Trust Layer.
| Capability | Open-Source Engine (MIT) | Mind API ($10/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Execution | Local CLI, Git pre-commit hooks, CI/CD | Hosted REST & Enhanced MCP Server |
| Compatibility | Polyglot (Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust, etc.) | Any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) |
| Verification | Worktree inspection, local test gates | Centralized policy sync & orchestration |
| Memory | Local failure logs | Enterprise Failure Ledger & agent governance |
| Secrets | Local environment variables | Zero-storage, customer-held API keys |
Supercharge Your Workflow in 3 Commands
bash
# 1. Install the Headron CLI
uv tool install headron-software
# 2. Initialize project checks and commit hooks
headron init && headron enforce install
# 3. Connect to the Mind API via MCP
