How does the MCP detect secrets?

It uses a combination of deterministic regex patterns for known formats and Shannon entropy calculations to find high-entropy strings like private keys.

What kind of data does it redact?

It targets AWS keys, GitHub tokens, private keys, database connection strings, and JWTs.

Can I see what was redacted?

Yes, you can use the get_redaction_audit capability to retrieve a history of all redactions.

Can I block data automatically?

Yes, the validate_safety_threshold capability allows you to enforce security by checking if the exposure risk meets your set limit.

Does this work with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

How does the redaction process work?

The scan_content capability identifies sensitive patterns and replaces them with a placeholder in the format [REDACTED_TYPE:prefix4...suffix4]. This allows for debugging without exposing the actual secret.

Can I audit the redactions that have occurred?

Yes, you can use the get_redaction_audit capability to retrieve a history of all redaction events performed during the current session.

What is the exposure risk score?

The exposure risk score is a value from 0.0 to 1.0. You can use validate_safety_threshold to check if a detected risk exceeds your specific security requirements.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Sensitive Data Exposure Detector.

01
Validate safety threshold
This capability checks if the calculated exposure risk meets your specific security threshold. It's used to automate the blocking of data that is too risky to process.
02
Get redaction audit
This capability retrieves a history of all redactions performed. It gives you a traceable log of what sensitive information was caught and removed.
03
Scan content
This capability analyzes a raw string for sensitive information. It's the primary way to clean text using regex and entropy checks.

Real work

What teams actually run

Codebase Analysis

The MCP redacts hardcoded API keys while your agent reads your local source files.

Log Inspection

It cleans sensitive tokens from log outputs before your agent summarizes them.

Automated Security Gates

You can set a threshold to prevent the agent from processing high-risk files.

Data Cleaning

Manually scrub raw text strings of sensitive identifiers using the scan capability.

One connector, every AI

Sensitive Data Exposure Detector works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Sensitive Data Exposure Detector to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Sensitive Data Exposure Detector, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Sensitive Data Exposure Detector. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
