Waqi — AI Privacy Layer
Redacts PII from your business tools before the AI sees them — with a provable audit log.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http waqi-ai-privacy-layer 'https://waqi.bilazann.com/api/mcp/{token}'
{
"mcpServers": {
"waqi-ai-privacy-layer": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://waqi.bilazann.com/api/mcp/{token}"
}
}
}

Waqi — the MCP server that redacts PII before the AI sees it
Waqi (واقي, "protector") is a hosted MCP server that sits between your business tools and your AI assistant. Connect Stripe, Xero, your CRM and more to Claude or ChatGPT — Waqi fetches the data read-only, strips names, card numbers and personal details, writes a provable audit entry, and only then returns the cleaned data to the model.
Your AI gets real answers from real business data. Your customers' personal data never reaches it.

This is a hosted, commercial MCP server. This repository contains its documentation and MCP Registry manifest — the service itself runs at
waqi.bilazann.com.
How it works
AI assistant ──1· tool call──▶ Waqi ──2· read-only fetch──▶ Your tools (Stripe, Xero, CRM…)
▲ │
└──3· redacted data only───┘ (audit log written AFTER redaction —
the sensitive values are never stored)
- Redaction first. Names, emails, phone numbers, card numbers, addresses and other personal identifiers are detected and replaced before the response leaves Waqi.
- Provable audit log. Every call is logged — who asked, which tool, how many sensitive items were caught — so you can show clients or regulators exactly what the AI never saw.
- Per-person tokens. Each team member gets their own MCP URL; every call is individually attributed, and access is revoked per person, not per company.
- Read-only by design. Waqi fetches; it never writes to your tools.
- Credentials stay encrypted. Connector keys are stored encrypted and are never visible to anyone — including us.
Quickstart
You need a Waqi account (start here) — the dashboard gives each team member a personal MCP URL of the form:
https://waqi.bilazann.com/api/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN
Claude (web/desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste your MCP URL.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http waqi https://waqi.bilazann.com/api/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN
ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode → add the same URL.
Standard MCP configuration (for clients that use a JSON config file):
{
"mcpServers": {
"waqi": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://waqi.bilazann.com/api/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
Step-by-step guides with screenshots for every client and every connector: bilazann.com/waqi/docs.
Tip: in Claude, an attached connector still has to be enabled in the chat you're using — if tools list but never run, that's the switch to check.
Supported connectors
Stripe · Xero · Zoho Books · Zoho CRM · Slack · and more — 16 business tools across payments, accounting, CRM, and communication, with new connectors added on request (current list).
Security & data handling
- Connector credentials: stored encrypted, write-only (no read-back UI, not even for the account owner).
- MCP tokens: only SHA-256 hashes are stored.
- Audit log: written post-redaction — the log itself never contains the sensitive values.

Waqi is built by Bilazann. "Bilazann" means "without doubt" — Waqi is that idea applied to AI: use it fully, without doubting what it saw.
