PrivacyFence MCP server
by privacyfence
Let your AI reach Gmail, Drive, Slack and more, with your approval on anything sensitive.
PrivacyFence sits between your AI assistant and the apps you use at work, like Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Salesforce and Jira. When your AI wants to read something private or change something, you get a card asking you to approve it first. It is handy if you want AI help with your work tools but do not want to hand over the keys to everything.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to your work apps, but with a fence around it: the AI asks, PrivacyFence decides, and you approve what matters. Your app passwords stay with PrivacyFence, not with the AI.
What this MCP server does
You ask your assistant something like "find the latest email from the finance team". The assistant sends that request to PrivacyFence instead of going straight to Gmail. PrivacyFence checks its rules and, if the request is sensitive or changes something, shows you a card with the actual content and who is asking. You approve or deny it. If it is routine and matches a rule you set, it goes through on its own, and everything is written to an audit log.
What you can do with it
- Search and read your Gmail messages, threads and attachments
- Create drafts, labels and filters in Gmail without sending email
- Search, read and write files in Google Drive, Docs and Sheets
- Read and update your Google Calendar events
- Read Slack channels and DMs, and send messages
- Read Salesforce records and run reports
- Read, create and update Jira and Confluence items
What it gives back to you
You get answers in the chat, like a summary of an email, a list of files, or a calendar view. When something needs approval, you get a card showing the actual content or the change, and you click approve or deny. After you approve, the result comes back to the AI and it answers you. Every request, approved or denied, is written to an audit log you can look at later.
