Phi Guard MCP Overview
The phi-guard-mcp MCP server scans text for PHI-shaped values and checks source files for sensitive identifiers used near LLM, logging, analytics, or error-reporting sinks. It runs locally over stdio and makes no network calls, while returning masked findings to the MCP client. Use it to review prompts, logs, analytics calls, and supported source files before sensitive data reaches those destinations. It is a narrow lexical linter, not a HIPAA certification, compliance attestation, or dataflow analyzer.
Primary Use Cases for Phi Guard MCP:
- Redact PHI-shaped values from prompts and log snippets
- Scan JavaScript and TypeScript code for risky patient-data usage
- Review Python and Go files for sensitive identifiers near sinks
- Find patient-related values passed to LLM, logging, or analytics calls
