anymize MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for text and document anonymization using the anymize API.

Setup Options

Option 1: Local Server (File Processing + Text)

For applications that support direct MCP server configuration, add to your MCP client configuration:

Step 1: Install Globally

First, install the anymize-mcp package globally:

npm install -g anymize-mcp

Step 2: Find Required Paths

Find Node Executable Path

PowerShell:

where.exe node

Example output: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v22.11.0\node.exe

macOS/Linux:

which node

Example output: /Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin/node

Find Anymize MCP Installation Path

npm root -g

PowerShell example output: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v22.11.0\node_modules macOS/Linux example output: /Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/lib/node_modules

The anymize-mcp server script will be at: [npm root -g]/anymize-mcp/build/index.js

Quick Path Check

PowerShell:

Test-Path "$(npm root -g)\anymize-mcp\build\index.js"

macOS/Linux:

ls "$(npm root -g)/anymize-mcp/build/index.js"

Step 3: MCP Configuration

Single Directory

Windows example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anymize": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\v22.11.0\\node.exe",
      "args": [
        "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\v22.11.0\\node_modules\\anymize-mcp\\build\\index.js",
        "C:\\path\\to\\your\\documents"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANYMIZE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS/Linux example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anymize": {
      "command": "/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/lib/node_modules/anymize-mcp/build/index.js",
        "/path/to/your/documents"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANYMIZE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Multiple Directories

Windows example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anymize": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\v22.11.0\\node.exe",
      "args": [
        "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\v22.11.0\\node_modules\\anymize-mcp\\build\\index.js",
        "C:\\path\\to\\documents",
        "C:\\path\\to\\downloads"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANYMIZE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS/Linux example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anymize": {
      "command": "/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v22.11.0/lib/node_modules/anymize-mcp/build/index.js",
        "/path/to/documents",
        "/path/to/downloads"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANYMIZE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Generate Your Configuration

PowerShell

Write-Host "Node path: $(where.exe node)"
Write-Host "Anymize MCP path: $(npm root -g)\anymize-mcp\build\index.js"

macOS/Linux

echo "Node path: $(which node)"
echo "Anymize MCP path: $(npm root -g)/anymize-mcp/build/index.js"

Then copy the paths into your MCP client configuration, replacing the document directory paths with your actual directories.

Option 2: n8n MCP Client Tool

Use n8n's built-in MCP Client Tool node for seamless integration:

1. Add the MCP Client Tool node to your workflow
2. Configure the node settings:
   • Endpoint URL: https://mcp.anymize.ai/mcp
   • Server Transport: HTTP Streamable
   • Authentication: Header Auth
3. Create Header Auth credentials:
   • Name: x-anymize-api-key
   • Value: your-api-key-here

Get API Key

Sign up at Anymize.ai to get your API key.
