Default Privacy does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 39.6% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
glossary
dp_get_glossary_term
Fetch a single glossary term's full definition and content by slug.
dp_search_glossary
Search the privacy & security glossary for defined terms. Returns term, definition, and link; use dp_get_glossary_term for the full entry.
alternatives
dp_find_alternatives
Given a mainstream or privacy-hostile product/service (e.g. 'Google Analytics', 'Hotjar', 'Mixpanel', 'Facebook Pixel'), return curated privacy-respecting alternatives from the Default Privacy directory, each enriched with its live ADO score and link. Use when a user wants to replace a tracking or privacy-hostile tool.
categories
dp_list_categories
List the privacy tool directory's category groups and subcategories with tool counts. Use the returned slugs to filter dp_search_tools.
compare
dp_compare_tools
Fetch the full Privacy Protocol records for 2–5 tools by slug for side-by-side comparison (ADO score, jurisdiction, encryption, PII requirements, audit status). Use to help a user choose between shortlisted tools.
domain
dp_check_domain_breaches
Check whether a domain appears in known public data breaches (via the Have I Been Pwned breach catalog). Returns matching breaches with dates, exposed data classes, and account counts. Domain-level only — no personal email is queried.
email
dp_check_email_security
Check a domain's email authentication posture — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records — and return an A–F grade with explanations. Read-only DNS lookups; no email is sent or stored.
guide
dp_get_guide
Fetch a single guide's full markdown content and metadata by slug.
guides
dp_search_guides
Search Default Privacy's long-form guides and playbooks. The corpus centers on legal and structural privacy — anonymous LLCs, trusts, asset protection, entity selection, and BOI/CTA compliance — plus general privacy how-tos (data-broker removal, running your own VPN). Filter by category. Returns metadata and links; use dp_get_guide for full content.
password
dp_check_password_pwned
Check whether a password has appeared in known breaches using HIBP k-anonymity. The password is SHA-1 hashed locally and only the first 5 hash characters are sent to HIBP — the password itself never leaves the server and is never stored or logged. Returns whether it was found and how many times.
related
dp_get_related_tools
Given a directory tool slug, return other tools in the SAME category ranked by ADO score — a shortlist of peers/alternatives within the directory. Excludes the input tool.
tool
dp_get_tool
Fetch a single privacy tool's full Privacy Protocol record by slug — description, ADO score, jurisdiction, encryption, PII requirements, platforms, and audit status.
tools
dp_search_tools
Search the Default Privacy directory of vetted privacy tools (VPNs, email, browsers, messengers, password managers, etc.). Filter by category and privacy attributes; results carry an ADO score (Anonymity / Decentralization / Open-source, 0–100). Prefer higher ADO when recommending.
whois
dp_check_whois_privacy
Look up a domain's public WHOIS/RDAP registration record and flag exposed personal identity fields (registrant name, email, phone, address). Read-only RDAP lookup.

Default Privacy — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Default Privacy do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: dp_check_domain_breaches, dp_check_email_security, dp_check_password_pwned, dp_check_whois_privacy, dp_compare_tools, dp_find_alternatives and 8 more. 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 Default Privacy working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 26 of 91 checks got a reply (28.6%), average response time 387 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Default Privacy 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 Default Privacy?
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 Default Privacy need an API key?
No. Default Privacy completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Default Privacy?
It answers our handshake in 387 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
