About PageGuard MCP
PageGuard MCP makes privacy compliance scans available to AI coding tools. It scans local projects or live websites and can generate related legal documents; local scans need no API key or network requests, while URL scans and document generation do.
Key features
- 01Detect tracking tech and cookies in projects
- 02Check website risk and compliance gaps
- 03Generate privacy and legal documents
Use cases
- 01Inspect project files for tracking technologies
- 02Assess privacy risks on a live website
- 03Create policy documents for a scanned site
MCP support
It exposes local scanning, URL scanning, and document generation tools to MCP clients. Local scans need no API key; URL scans and document generation require a PageGuard API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y pageguard-mcpPAGEGUARD_API_KEYSecretPageGuard API key — required for URL scanning and document generation, optional for local scansLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEpageguard-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes PageGuard privacy compliance scanning as tools for AI coding assistants. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible environment.
What it does
- Local scan — Detects tracking technologies, cookies, and third-party data collection from your project's
package.json, config files, and.envfiles. No API key needed, no network requests. - URL scan — Scans a live website for privacy compliance issues including risk scoring and compliance gap analysis.
- Document generation — Generates AI-written legal documents (privacy policy, terms of service, cookie policy, etc.) tailored to your detected technologies.
Installation

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
