Strac MCP DLP

An open-source Model Context Protocol server that gives any AI agent - Claude, Cursor, VS Code, your own - a way to find and strip sensitive data before it reaches the model. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with ai security, data loss prevention and dlp and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Strac MCP DLP

before you install - you'll need

STRAC_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add strac-io-strac-mcp-dlp -- uvx strac-mcp-dlp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strac-io-strac-mcp-dlp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "strac-mcp-dlp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
