What is the Regex Toolkit MCP Server?
Parsing unstructured text to find contact information is a classic LLM vulnerability. AI models often "guess" email boundaries or invent fake phone numbers when summarizing text. The Regex Toolkit MCP enforces strict mathematical patterns to guarantee 100% extraction and validation accuracy.
The Superpowers
- Flawless Extraction: Pull every single valid Email, URL, or Phone number from a giant block of text instantly into a clean JSON array.
- Zero-Trust Validation: Ensure that user inputs are structurally perfect before passing them to external databases or CRMs.
- PII Redaction Engine: Instantly mask sensitive client data (
[EMAIL_REDACTED]) before generating public reports or passing context to unsecure layers. - Privacy First (Local): Your data never leaves your infrastructure. The regex engine compiles and executes entirely locally.
Built-in capabilities (3)
Extracts all unique emails, URLs, or phone numbers from a large body of text
Redacts sensitive PII (emails, phones, URLs) from a text blob by replacing them with [REDACTED] tags
Validates if a single string perfectly matches an email, URL, or phone format
Why Windsurf?
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Regex Toolkit tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 3 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

How Vinkius secures
Regex Toolkit for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Regex Toolkit MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Why use this instead of asking the AI to find the emails?
Because LLMs predict text probabilistically. They might miss emails embedded in weird characters (like contact@company.com. with a trailing dot) or hallucinate non-existent addresses. Regex provides mathematical certainty.
Does the PII masking send data to the cloud?
Never. The mask_sensitive_data tool runs exclusively on your local Javascript engine (V8). It acts as a local firewall, ensuring sensitive strings are redacted before any external processing happens.
What format of phone numbers are supported?
The regex captures international formats with country codes (e.g., +1, +55), optional parentheses for area codes, and spacing/hyphens commonly used globally.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
