Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Install

How do I install the PromptGuard MCP server?

PromptGuard runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i docker.io/abhijoysarkar/promptguard-mcp-server:1.1.2. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~593 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
promptguard_auth ~126

Authenticate with PromptGuard. When called without an api_key, opens the PromptGuard dashboard in the browser so the user can copy their API key -- then ask the user to provide it. When called with an api_key, validates and saves it. When to use: When any other promptguard tool reports that the user is not authenticated or not initialized, or when the user asks to log in to PromptGuard.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystringPromptGuard API key (starts with pg_live_). If omitted, opens the dashboard in the browser for the user to copy their key.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

promptguard_logout ~66

Log out of PromptGuard by removing the project-local configuration (.promptguard.json) and the globally stored API key (~/.promptguard/credentials.json). When to use: When the user wants to switch PromptGuard accounts, clear credentials, or ensure a clean state by removing existing authentication.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

promptguard_redact ~94

Redact PII (emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, API keys, etc.) from text via the PromptGuard API. Returns sanitized text with entities replaced by placeholders. When to use: Before including user data in LLM prompts, when processing customer messages, or when building RAG pipelines that ingest documents containing personal information.

NameTypeReqDescription
textstringyesThe text content to redact PII from

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

promptguard_scan_project ~142

Performs static analysis on a project directory to detect unprotected LLM SDK usage (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Gemini, Bedrock, etc.). Returns detected providers, file locations (line/column), and instance count. When to use: During local development to find LLM calls that are not routed through PromptGuard, after generating new code that uses LLM SDKs, or when auditing an existing project for security coverage.

NameTypeReqDescription
directorystringAbsolute path to the project directory to scan (defaults to current directory)
providerstringFilter results to a specific provider (e.g. 'openai', 'anthropic')

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

promptguard_scan_text ~99

Scan text for security threats (prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII leakage, toxic content) via the PromptGuard API. Returns a decision (allow/block), confidence score, threat type, and reason. When to use: When reviewing user-facing prompts, testing LLM inputs for safety, or verifying that content is free of injection attacks before sending to an LLM.

NameTypeReqDescription
textstringyesThe text content to scan for security threats

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

promptguard_status ~66

Show current PromptGuard configuration and status for the project. Returns whether PromptGuard is initialized, API key type, proxy URL, configured providers, and CLI version. When to use: To verify PromptGuard is properly configured, check which providers are active, or confirm the installed CLI version.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the PromptGuard MCP server?

PromptGuard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as co.promptguard/security. Scan prompts for injection attacks, redact PII, and audit LLM SDK usage from any MCP client. This page covers its container image (docker.io/abhijoysarkar/promptguard-mcp-server:1.1.2).

Is the PromptGuard MCP server safe to use?

PromptGuard scores 45 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 PromptGuard MCP server expose?

PromptGuard exposes 6 tools: promptguard_auth, promptguard_logout, promptguard_scan_text, promptguard_scan_project, promptguard_redact, promptguard_status. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 593 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the PromptGuard MCP server still maintained?

PromptGuard 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.
