Target Reference Server

Zentric Protocol MCP Overview

The zentric-protocol-mcp MCP server is documented as an integrity layer for inspecting prompts, RAG content, and tool outputs before they reach an LLM. Its hosted REST API applies deterministic injection signatures, detects and anonymizes PII, and returns verdicts such as CLEARED, BLOCKED, or ANONYMIZED with an audit record. The public repository contains middleware, API contracts, and infrastructure files, but not the detection engine itself. Reach for it when an application needs request-level prompt-injection checks, privacy handling, and traceable processing records.
