compliance
compliance_detect_pii
Use this when you need to scan text for personally identifiable information (PII). Detects emails, phone numbers (international), credit card numbers (with Luhn validation), US SSNs, dates of birth, IP addresses, postal addresses (US/UK/FR), passport numbers, and URLs with tokens. Returns each match with type, redacted value, position, and confidence. Includes overall risk level (low/medium/high/critical). Do NOT use for email validation — use email_verify_address. Do NOT use for GDPR compliance — use compliance_scan_gdpr.

PII Detector API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PII Detector API do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compliance_detect_pii. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is PII Detector API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 13 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists PII Detector API as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect PII Detector API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PII Detector API need an API key?
No. PII Detector API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is PII Detector API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
