Show HN: A utility microservice for human trust

Futex launched a multi-tenant control plane that lets AI agents request durable, policy-driven human decisions — including multi-approver quorum, reject-with-reasons, delegation, escalation, expiry and clearance — and resume via webhooks or polling. The service is MCP-native and non-blocking, registering as an MCP server via `claude mcp add --transport http --scope user futex-hitl https://futex.rodmena.co.uk/mcp/`, and offers a free API key by emailing futex-freepass@mail.rodmena.co.uk with no signup or dashboard required.

Futex is a multi-tenant control plane that lets AI agents request durable, policy-driven human decisions — multi-approver, reject-with-reasons, delegation, escalation, expiry, clearance — and resume via webhooks or polling. Non-blocking, MCP-native, and built for scale.

Point any MCP-compatible agent at Futex and it gains a full toolkit for requesting and managing human approvals.

Features

What Futex does

Durable, policy-driven human decisions — designed for the agent era.

Policy-Driven Approvals

Multi-stage approvals, quorum (n-of-m), separation of duties, and SLA escalation — all defined per policy, not hard-coded.

Non-Blocking Architecture

Agents request a decision and get an ID back immediately — poll or receive a webhook when a human reviews it. Never block.

Human Review Surface

Reviewers get an email with a secure link to approve, reject, delegate, or escalate — no dashboard login required.
