At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Omitly MCP
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 49/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
MCP Server Ros 2
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 45/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Omitly MCP if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a local process. Choose MCP Server Ros 2 if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.

Scans a PDF on-device and returns PII candidates — email/SSN/phone/card plus Australian identifiers (TFN, ABN, ACN, Medicare, Centrelink CRN, IHI, BSB; check-digit validated where a published algorithm exists) — with page + exact coordinates, so the agent selects by entity and never guesses geometr…
locate_text
Resolves literal strings the model supplies (names, addresses — anything regex can't catch) to their page + coordinates. The model does the recognition; the engine does the geometry.
check_redaction
Audits an ALREADY-redacted PDF and reports whether sensitive text still survives underneath the redaction marks, in prior incremental-update revisions, metadata, AcroForm fields, or attachments — the "did my black boxes actually remove the data?" check, with a coverage report scoping what was inspe…
extract_pdf_text
Extracts a PDF's full text, page by page, PII-MASKED BY DEFAULT so raw sensitive values never flood the model's context window. Each page's `spans` report the CHAR offset (not byte offset) and kind of every masked value, so an agent can still reason about position without seeing the raw value. `mas…
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Omitly MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, MCP Server Ros 2 belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Omitly MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and MCP Server Ros 2 when you require tools for developer tools.
One-shot: find + filter by kind (`email`/`ssn`/`phone`/`card`/`tfn`/`abn`/`acn`/`medicare`/`crn`/`ihi`/`bsb`) and/or `regions` + redact + verify. The "just scrub the obvious PII" shortcut.
redact_pdf
Removes the underlying data from given regions of a PDF, verifies nothing survives, writes the redacted file, and returns the audit log.
verify_redaction
Re-scans an already-redacted PDF and returns the verification verdict — the redaction-completeness check.
verify_seal
Cryptographically checks a PDF's embedded Omitly audit report and trailing Ed25519 tamper-evidence seal — the tamper-evidence check, distinct from `verify_redaction`. **Integrity, not identity:** the signing key is per-install and rides inside the file, so a valid seal means "unchanged since sealed…
verify_document
Recipient trust-verification (omitly#113): the same seal/report check as `verify_seal` — not a survivor re-scan — aimed at someone who *received* a PDF from someone else and wants to confirm it's authentic and unaltered, without paying or licensing anything. Free, no licence. Currently requires a n…
create_pdf
Generates a clean PDF from Markdown/HTML on-device, rendered through a real browser engine so it looks printed — instead of writing a throwaway reportlab/LaTeX script.
check_license
Reports the current licence or trial state — tier, trial days left, the vendor-signed licensee name, which resolution step supplied the licence, and whether it is bound to this machine. Free, takes no arguments, reads no document, and is re-resolved on every call so buy → save licence → call again…
