sentrul_compliance_scan
Scan text for common compliance patterns (PII, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR data). Returns findings + severity. Not legal advice.
Example prompts

Environment variables
Variable | Required | Default | Description |
| No | auto-provisioned | Your Sentrul API key. Leave unset to use the free tier. |
| No |
| Override the Sentrul gateway base URL (staging / local dev). |
Anonymous free tier
If SENTRUL_API_KEY is not set, the server:
Checks for a cached key at
~/.sentrul/mcp-key.If no cache exists, calls
POST /v1/mcp/keys/anonymousto auto-provision a rate-limited free key.Writes the key to
~/.sentrul/mcp-key(mode 0600) for future runs.
You can upgrade at any time by setting SENTRUL_API_KEY in your MCP client config.
Security notes
No shell execution — the server never runs shell commands or spawns subprocesses.
No PII logging — environment variables and API keys are never written to logs or stdout.
Read-only — all three tools are read-only at launch; no writes to user files or external state.
Filesystem writes — the only writes are to
~/.sentrul/mcp-key(the key cache). Nothing else is written outside that directory.Supply-chain — publish uses 2FA-enforced npm account + sigstore attestation (see
SECURITY.mdwhen available).
Development
pnpm install
pnpm run build # tsc → dist/
pnpm test # vitest run
# Smoke test — should print 3 tools in the tools/list response:
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | node dist/index.jsLinks
