Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Mask PII in outbound MCP tool-call arguments, unmask the results. Indian identifiers included.

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: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

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

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maskflow": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "maskflow-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add maskflow -- uvx maskflow-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maskflow": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "maskflow-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "maskflow": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "maskflow-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is MaskFlow PII proxy 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

maskflow-mcp

A Model Context Protocol proxy that wraps any MCP server and keeps PII out of your agent's tool traffic. It masks PII in outbound tools/call arguments before they reach the backend tool, and restores the originals in the results, with placeholders that stay consistent for the whole agent run.

Agents routinely pass user PII (names, emails, PAN, Aadhaar, phone numbers) straight into third-party MCP servers as tool arguments. This proxy is a drop-in shim that stops the real values at the boundary. It runs MaskFlow's detection engine, so the Indian identifiers (Aadhaar, PAN, GSTIN, UPI, IFSC, ABHA, Indian names / addresses) are covered alongside the generic PII.

MIT, no gates, no telemetry.

Install

pip install maskflow-mcp

or, no install:

uvx maskflow-mcp stdio --backend "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github"

Pulls fastmcp (the 2.x line, which does not bundle LLM vendor SDKs). The first detection run downloads a small spaCy model; pass --patterns-only to skip it.

Use it

stdio (Claude Desktop, most agents)

Point the agent at maskflow-mcp and give it the real server as --backend:

// claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "github": { "command": "maskflow-mcp", "args": ["stdio", "--backend", "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github", "--pass-env", "GITHUB_TOKEN"] } } }

Or wrap a server already defined in a config file:

maskflow-mcp stdio --config ./claude_desktop_config.json --backend-name github
HTTP
maskflow-mcp http --backend https://example.com/mcp --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9000

Options

FlagDefaultMeaning
--backend–Backend command line, or a URL
--config / --backend-name–Read the backend from a Claude-Desktop-style JSON file
--pass-env VAR–Forward an env var to a stdio backend (repeatable)
--min-confidence0.5Detection threshold
--patterns-onlyoffSkip the spaCy NER pass (faster; drops bare-name / address detection)
--mask-tool-resultsoffAlso mask PII the tool *introduced* in its result, not just unmask placeholders it echoed
--session-ttl3600Lifetime of a per-connection session

What is masked

tools/call arguments are walked (string and numeric *values* only, keys never) and masked through the connection's session. The result's text and structured content is unmasked, restoring placeholders the tool echoed. By default raw PII that the tool *adds* to a result passes through untouched; --mask-tool-results masks that too, so the agent never sees it.

tools/list, prompts/*, and resources/* pass through unchanged (resource content masking is not on by default).

PII safety

The token-to-value map lives in memory per connection and is never logged. Only masked values cross the wire to the backend. See docs/mcp.md in the MaskFlow repo for the design.
