Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

The Lucairn MCP server is a well-structured privacy-preserving AI gateway client with appropriate authentication, proper credential handling, and careful input validation. The codebase demonstrates security-conscious design with comprehensive certificate verification, endpoint validation, and careful timeout handling. Minor code quality observations exist but do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 7 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

What You'll Need

Set these up before or after installing:

Lucairn gateway API key (lcr_live_*). Issued at https://lucairn.eu/account/keys. Free tier requires BYOK upstream LLM keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY).Required

Environment variable: LUCAIRN_API_KEY

Upstream Anthropic API key. Used when the requested model is claude-* / anthropic-*. Required if you call Claude models on the free tier (BYOK).Required

Environment variable: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Upstream OpenAI API key. Used when the requested model routes to OpenAI. Required if you call OpenAI models on the free tier (BYOK).Required

Environment variable: OPENAI_API_KEY

Override the gateway URL. Defaults to https://gateway.lucairn.eu (production). Set this to point at a self-hosted Lucairn deployment.Optional

Environment variable: LUCAIRN_BASE_URL

Transport mode for the MCP server. One of 'direct-http' (default; v1.1+ behavior) or 'stdio-bridge' (v1.2+ opt-in).Optional

Environment variable: LUCAIRN_TRANSPORT

How to Install

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-declade-lucairn-mcp-server": {
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here",

Lucairn SDKs

Official client libraries for Lucairn — an EU-based privacy-preserving AI gateway. Lucairn sits between your application (or AI agent) and the upstream LLM provider you choose, removes personal data from prompts before the model ever sees them, and returns a signed Lucairn Certificate proving what was redacted, when, and by which sanitizer layer.

This monorepo hosts four packages at parity:

  • @lucairn/mcp-server — Model Context Protocol server (one-line npx install for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, …)
  • @lucairn/sdk — TypeScript / Node SDK
  • lucairn — Python SDK
  • github.com/declade/lucairn-sdks/go — Go SDK

Quick start (MCP)

For most agent use cases, the fastest path is the MCP server. No build step, no install — npx runs it on demand:

npx -y @lucairn/mcp-server

Add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor's mcp.json, Cline's cline_mcp_settings.json, Continue, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lucairn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lucairn/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LUCAIRN_API_KEY": "<your_lucairn_api_key>",
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "<optional_byok_anthropic_key>",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "<optional_byok_openai_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your client. The chat_via_lucairn tool becomes available immediately. See mcp-server/README.md for full details.

What it does

Each request through any Lucairn SDK follows the same pipeline:

  1. PII detection runs on every user message in three layers:
    • Layer 1 — Known-entity matching (your tenant's named entities)
    • Layer 2 — Presidio NER (names, emails, IBANs, addresses, phone numbers, customer IDs, …)
    • Layer 3 — GPU-hosted custom-trained PII shield (Enterprise tier only, optionally trained on your domain corpus)
  2. Detected PII is replaced with placeholders ([PERSON_1], [EMAIL_2], [IBAN_3], …) before the request reaches the upstream LLM.
  3. The selected upstream model sees only the sanitized text. It never receives raw personal data.
  4. The response is returned with a signed compliance certificate (Ed25519 witness signature + RFC 3161 timestamp + Sigstore Rekor inclusion proof).
  5. Response handling depends on tier:
    • Developer (free) — placeholders are returned verbatim. Useful for testing the redaction surface.
    • Pro / Enterprise — placeholders are re-linked back to the originals on the gateway before the response reaches your application.

For Lucairn-hosted Developer-tier callers, on-gateway pseudonymization happens before your LLM sees the request. Enterprise self-host deployments can run the entire stack inside the customer environment, in which case no raw identity data leaves that environment at all.

Provider routing

The gateway picks the upstream provider from the model parameter you send:

Model prefixUpstream providerBYOK env var
claude-*, anthropic-*AnthropicANTHROPIC_API_KEY
gpt-*, openai-*, o1-*, o3-*, o4-*OpenAIOPENAI_API_KEY

Cross-provider BYOK shipped in @lucairn/mcp-server@1.1.0 — set one or both keys in the same MCP config and the server forwards the matching one as X-Upstream-Key per request, so your provider account is billed directly.

Per-language SDKs

LanguagePackageVersionREADME
MCP server@lucairn/mcp-server1.2.7mcp-server/README.md
TypeScript@lucairn/sdk1.1.1ts/README.md
Pythonlucairn1.1.1python/README.md
Gogithub.com/declade/lucairn-sdks/gov1.1.1go/README.md

All SDKs are at parity at the observable level. Cross-language byte-equivalence is locked via shared Go-assembler-generated fixtures, so a certificate signed via one SDK verifies identically via the other two.

Get an API key

Sign up at https://lucairn.eu/account/signup. Free Developer tier: 500 requests/month, no credit card required.

Pro adds response re-linking, programmatic certificate JSON access, audit-event export, and higher quota. Enterprise adds self-host, BYOK with provider-side billing isolation, and the optional custom-trained PII shield (priced per scope).

See https://lucairn.eu/pricing for the full tier comparison.

Verify a response

Every response through any SDK gets a signed Lucairn certificate. Two surfaces:

  • HTML summary — DPO-friendly, available on every tier including Developer (free). Use getCertificateSummary (TS) / get_certificate_summary (Python) / GetCertificateSummary (Go), or paste the certificate URL into https://lucairn.eu/verify.
  • JSON certificate + local Ed25519 verify — Pro tier and above. Use getCertificate + verifyCertificate (and language equivalents). The verifier is in-tree — see ts/src/verify-certificate/, python/src/lucairn/verify_certificate/, and the internal/verify package under go/.

External RFC 3161 + Sigstore Rekor anchor verification is currently surfaced as pass-through metadata; full external anchor verification lands in a follow-up release.

Status

Production packages are versioned independently and tagged per the table above. Cross-language byte-equivalence is locked via shared fixtures. Follow CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
