What is the Umbryn MCP server?

Umbryn MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Umbryn directly instead of describing what you should do. Redacts PII/PHI from text before it reaches an LLM. Fail-closed, self-hosted, no egress.

What you get

Teams building LLM and agent pipelines in regulated domains have no clean, drop-in way to strip PHI/PII from a payload before it crosses into a model provider's infrastructure. umbryn-mcp is that boundary: three MCP tools — redact, restore, detect — that scrub sensitive values into reversible placeholders, run entirely inside infrastructure you control, and block the request if detection is uncertain instead of leaking data.

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: EMPLOYEE_ID, MEDICARE_BENEFICIARY_ID. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Choosing this one

This sits in the AI and media services group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by Rinava; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Umbryn's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the umbryn mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Umbryn to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Umbryn directly.
