DataFog MCP connects DataFog Core to Claude Code through five tools. Scan local files, then create redacted, masked, or removed copies. Tool responses contain counts, locations, and copy paths, without file contents or matched values.

​
Install and connect

You need Python 3.10 or later, uv, and Claude Code running on the machine that holds your files.
1

Install DataFog MCP

2

Choose the folders DataFog can access

Replace the initial ~ entry with the folders you want to allow, one per line:
Check the active roots:
With no roots file or override, access defaults to your home directory. Narrow the roots before connecting the agent. An empty roots file refuses every path. Changes take effect immediately.
3

Connect Claude Code

Start a new Claude Code session to use the tools.
