Platform Guides
Install MCP Server on Your AI Tool

Your prompts are anonymized before the AI sees them. The AI's response is automatically deanonymized before you read it — you always see real names, never tokens. Choose your platform below for the full setup guide.

How It Works — 3 Steps

01

Install & Configure

Add the MCP Server to your AI tool's config file (or settings UI). Point it to https://anonym.legal/mcp with your API key.

02

AI Intercepts PII

Before your prompt reaches the LLM, the MCP Server automatically detects 285+ PII types and replaces them with session tokens.

03

Auto-Deanonymized Response

The AI's response still contains tokens — but the MCP Server replaces every token with the original value before you see it. You always read real names. This is what makes it round-trip.

VS Code note: VS Code uses "servers" as the config key — not "mcpServers" like every other platform. This is a breaking difference. See the VS Code guide for details.
