Redact MCP Server

local only

Redact MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 33 installs a week from npm. Last commit 23 Mar 2026.

Auto-detects and obfuscates PII (IPs, emails, API keys, names) so Claude never sees real client data

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Redact MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REDACT_AUDIT_LOG (Enable JSONL audit trail for compliance tracking), REDACT_DATA_DIR (Directory for mappings and audit log storage). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Redact MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Redact MCP?

Redact MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @mattzam/redact-mcp was installed 33 times last week.

How do I connect Redact MCP?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls @mattzam/redact-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Redact MCP?

The npm package @mattzam/redact-mcp was installed 33 times in the last week. Week over week that is +106%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Redact MCP open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 6 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
