As enterprise AI agents become increasingly reliant on customer data to deliver intelligent, context-aware experiences, ensuring data security remains a top priority. However, every connection made via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) now widely supported by Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS, and Google adds a potential risk layer. To address this growing concern, Skyflow has introduced its MCP Data Protection Layer, purpose-built for SaaS platforms and enterprises leveraging MCP.

Why MCP Needs a Stronger Data Security Backbone

MCP is rapidly becoming the backbone of agentic AI systems, streamlining how agents connect to databases, SaaS applications, and other tools without needing custom code. While this innovation accelerates AI integration, it also opens the door to risks. Sensitive data like Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and financial records may flow through MCP connections without adequate safeguards.

Recognizing this critical gap, Skyflow has stepped up with a solution that not only protects sensitive data but also maintains the full functionality of AI systems.

A Smarter Approach to AI Data Security

Unlike traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools that simply block data, Skyflow’s polymorphic data protection engine takes a smarter approach—adapting in real time to manage privacy dynamically and intelligently. It automatically masks, tokenizes, or rehydrates sensitive data in real time, based on predefined policies and user permissions. This ensures enterprise-grade security and regulatory compliance without disrupting AI workflows.

Skyflow’s new MCP Data Protection Layer is available in two deployment formats:

  • The Skyflow MCP Gateway is a plug-and-play proxy that seamlessly connects MCP servers or agents with backend data sources, adding a secure layer without disrupting existing workflows. It enforces field-level privacy policies without requiring any changes to existing applications.
  • The Skyflow MCP Server SDK is a lightweight, easy-to-embed library that lets developers build privacy controls directly into MCP servers and agentic applications making data protection seamless from the inside out.

Key Features Built for the Enterprise

  • Context-aware redaction and de-identification
  • Entity-preserving transformations to maintain agent logic
  • Secure memory handling to prevent unauthorized data retention
  • Contextual rehydration for authorized access
  • Full audit trails to meet GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance standards

“As AI agents start connecting to more real-world data through MCP, companies need privacy infrastructure that can keep up,” said Anshu Sharma, CEO of Skyflow. “We help developers and SaaS platforms deploy AI securely without slowing innovation.”
