Data Anonymization for AI Workflows
Stop sending real names, emails, and personal data to AI models. Our MCP Server automatically detects and replaces PII in your prompts—then restores it in the response.

and Sarah Miller..."
[PERSON_1] ([EMAIL_1])
and [PERSON_2]..."
What is Anonymize.dev?
A privacy layer for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Continue, and Cline
The Problem
When you use AI coding assistants, you often paste code, logs, or documents containing real customer data—names, emails, API keys, database entries.
That data goes to external servers. Even with good intentions, it's a GDPR risk, a security risk, and a trust issue with your users.
The Solution
Anonymize.dev sits between you and the AI. It automatically detects 285+ types of personal data (names, emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, IPs...) and replaces them with tokens.
The AI sees [PERSON_1] instead of "John Smith". When the response comes back, we restore the original values. Zero data leakage.
