pii-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes pii-protect as native tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

Tools exposed

Connect it to your Pseudora account

1. Sign in at pseudora.cloud and open Cloud → Customer keys (/cloud/customer-keys).

2. Create a key. It is displayed once — copy it straight away.

3. Point the server at the hosted API:

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env

PII_API_URL=https://pseudora.cloud
PII_API_KEY=pk_live_…

The key travels as an X-Api-Key header. Your Pseudora plan decides the rate limit and the monthly credit pool, both shared with every other client on the same account — the browser extension, the VS Code extension and this server all draw from the same pool. A key belonging to an account with no active subscription is refused with 402 subscription_expired.

To run against a self-hosted engine instead, set PII_API_URL to your own instance (for example http://localhost:15500) and use a service or admin key.

One-shot setup

bash setup.sh

It prompts for the key and registers the server with Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pii-protect": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/Users/you/Progetti/pii/pii-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PII_API_URL": "https://pseudora.cloud",
        "PII_API_KEY": "your-customer-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear automatically in the tool menu.

Cursor configuration

Edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or global ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pii-protect": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/Users/you/Progetti/pii/pii-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PII_API_URL": "https://pseudora.cloud",
        "PII_API_KEY": "your-customer-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Without the mcp SDK

server.py includes a pure JSON-RPC 2.0 fallback that works without the mcp package. The mcp SDK is optional but recommended for full protocol compatibility.

# With SDK (recommended)
pip install mcp

# Without SDK (fallback mode)
pip install httpx python-dotenv

Usage example (Claude Desktop)

After connecting, ask Claude:

"Anonymize this text before I share it with you: Mario Rossi, CF RSSMRA80A01H501U, tel 333-1234567"

Claude will call anonymize_text and work only with the anonymized version.
