glin-profanity-mcp

Part of glin-profanity - MCP server for AI assistants

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for glin-profanity - enables AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools to use profanity detection and content moderation as native tools.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI assistants to securely access external tools and data sources. This package turns glin-profanity into an MCP server that AI assistants can use for content moderation.

Features

• 24 Powerful Tools for comprehensive content moderation
• 5 Workflow Prompts for guided AI interactions
• 5 Reference Resources for configuration and best practices
• 24 Language Support - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish, and more
• Context-Aware Analysis - Domain-specific whitelists reduce false positives
• Obfuscation Detection - Catches leetspeak (f4ck) and Unicode tricks
• Batch Processing - Check multiple texts efficiently
• Content Scoring - Get safety scores for moderation decisions
