@privacyscrubber/mcp-server

Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS) Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. Locally scrubs PII, secrets, credentials, and custom patterns from files and text contexts before sending them to LLMs.

🔒 Security & Privacy Guarantees

• 100% Offline / Local Execution: All PII detection, regex matching, and tokenization happen entirely inside your local machine's RAM. No prompt context or file data is ever sent to any remote servers.

• Volatile In-Memory Mapping: The token replacement map (sessionMap) is kept in volatile RAM only. It is never persisted to disk, cookies, or database storage.

• Support for Reverse-Scrubbing (Reveal): Replaces tokens in LLM responses back with original values securely inside your local context.
