## MCP tools (2)

### `redact_suggest` (~90 tokens)

Given a raw text snippet (a log line, a prompt, an error message), detect PHI-shaped values and return a redacted version.

Input parameters:

- `includeMatchedValues` (boolean): Echo the raw matched PHI values and the original text back in the result. Off by default: the result flows into the calling model's context.
- `text` (string, required): Raw text that may contain PHI

### `scan_code` (~94 tokens)

Scan a local directory of source files for sensitive identifiers (patient, diagnosis, dob, ssn, mrn, birthdate, medicalrecord) flowing into risky sinks (LLM calls, logging, analytics) before they ship.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to the directory or repo to scan. A relative path is resolved against the server process's working directory, which an MCP client controls — prefer an absolute path.

io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp scores 81 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp server expose?

io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp exposes 2 tools: redact_suggest, scan_code. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 184 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp server under?

io.github.Abidit/phi-guard-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
