## MCP tools (3)

### `scan_document` (~168 tokens)

Find PII (TC Kimlik No, IBAN, card, passport, e-mail, phone, address…) and credentials inside a PDF, an image (screenshot, scanned page) or a text file on disk, before it is given to an LLM. PDFs are read from their text layer; images and scanned pages with OCR (Turkish and English).

Input parameters:

- `include` (array): Opt-in detectors: ip_address, mac_address, plate_tr
- `languages` (array): Tesseract languages, default ["tur", "eng"]
- `ocr` (boolean): OCR images and PDF pages without a text layer (default true; needs tesseract.js)
- `path` (string, required): Path to a file, or a folder to scan every PDF and image in it

### `scan_base64` (~128 tokens)

Scan a document given as base64 (an attachment, an image a tool returned) for PII and credentials. The type is detected from the bytes.

Input parameters:

- `data` (string, required): Base64 bytes (a data: URL prefix is allowed)
- `include` (array): Opt-in detectors: ip_address, mac_address, plate_tr
- `label` (string)
- `languages` (array): Tesseract languages, default ["tur", "eng"]
- `ocr` (boolean): OCR images and PDF pages without a text layer (default true; needs tesseract.js)

### `list_detectors` (~20 tokens)

List the PII and credential detectors this scanner runs

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.GuardBee/document-scanner MCP server expose?

io.github.GuardBee/document-scanner exposes 3 tools: scan_document, scan_base64, list_detectors. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 316 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.GuardBee/document-scanner MCP server still maintained?

io.github.GuardBee/document-scanner is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
