Overview

Check a document for hidden text before your agent reads it. PDF, Office, RTF, HTML.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work
  • You need to fill in: HCS_API_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: HCS_API_TOKEN, HCS_URL, HCS_CAPABILITIES

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http hiddencontent https://api.hiddencontent.ai/v1/mcp

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add hiddencontent --env HCS_API_TOKEN=your-value --env HCS_URL=your-value --env HCS_CAPABILITIES=your-value -- npx -y @hiddencontent/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Values you fill in

  • HCS_API_TOKEN secret required env
    API token for the HiddenContent service. Get one at https://hiddencontent.ai/start?ref=mcp-registry — the server refuses to start without it and says so.
  • HCS_URL env
    Base URL of the service. Defaults to the hosted API; set it only when pointing at a self-hosted instance.
  • HCS_CAPABILITIES env
    Comma-separated list of what your agent can actually do. The only accepted values are `tool-use`, `network-egress` and `code-execution`. These turn on the checks for concealed text that instructs a m…

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is HiddenContent safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HCS_API_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.15) reached the registry 40 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
