+# Internal NemoCheck Plugin
+
+## Prerequisites: Nemo-check server
+ * Refer to [orignal repo](https://github.com/m-misiura/demos/tree/main/nemo_openshift/guardrail-checks/deployment) for full instructions
+ * Instructions adpated for mcpgateway kind cluster to work with an llm proxy routing to some open ai compatable backend below
+ 
+   ```bash
+	docker pull quay.io/rh-ee-mmisiura/nemo-guardrails:guardrails_checks_with_tools_o1_v1
+	kind load docker-image quay.io/rh-ee-mmisiura/nemo-guardrails:guardrails_checks_with_tools_o1_v1 --name mcp-gateway
+    cd plugins-adapter/plugins/examples/nemocheck/k8deploy
+	kubectl apply -f config-tools.yaml
+	kubectl apply -f server.yaml
+
+   ```
+## Installation
+
+1. Find url of nemo-check-server service. E.g., from svc in `server.yaml`
+1. Update `${project_root}/resources/config/config.yaml`. Add the blob below, merge if other `plugin`s or `plugin_dir`s already exists. Sample file [here](/resources/config/nemocheck-internal-config.yaml)
+
+    ```yaml
+    # plugins/config.yaml - Main plugin configuration file
+    plugins:
+      - name: "NemoCheckv2"
+        kind: "plugins.examples.nemocheckinternal.plugin.NemoCheckv2"
+        description: "Adapter for nemo check server"
+        version: "0.1.0"        
+        hooks: ["tool_pre_invoke", "tool_post_invoke"]
+        mode: "enforce"  # enforce | permissive | disabled
+        config:
+          checkserver_url: "http://nemo-guardrails-service:8000/v1/guardrail/checks"    
+    # Plugin directories to scan
+    plugin_dirs:
+      - "plugins/examples/nemocheckinternal"    # Nemo Check Server plugins
+    ```
+
+1. In `config.yaml` ensure key `plugins.config.checkserver_url` points to the correct service
+1. Start plugin adapter
+
+# Test
+
+1. Open mcp-inspector to the mcp-gateway
+1. Try running a tool configured/not configured in nemo check config allow list in configmap [E.g.](/plugins/examples/nemocheck/k8deploy/config-tools.yaml)
