A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings **GDPR compliance knowledge directly into your IDE**, enabling developers and compliance teams to "shift left" — identifying and addressing data protection requirements early in the development lifecycle.

> **⚠️ Disclaimer:** This tool provides informational guidance only and **does not constitute legal advice**. Organisations should consult qualified legal counsel for binding GDPR compliance decisions.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+

- VS Code with GitHub Copilot

### Installation

#### Install from the MCP Registry (recommended)

The server is published to the [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io). You can install it directly in VS Code:

1. Open the Extensions view (`Ctrl+Shift+X`)

2. Type `@mcp GDPR` in the search field

3. Click **Install** on "GDPR Shift-Left Compliance"

> **Note:** The VS Code MCP gallery shows a curated subset of servers by default. If the server doesn't appear, add this to your VS Code **User Settings** (`Ctrl+,` → Open Settings JSON):

>

> ```json

> "chat.mcp.gallery.serviceUrl": "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io"

> ```

>

> This points VS Code at the full MCP Registry (5,000+ servers) instead of GitHub's curated list.

#### Install via uvx (no clone needed)

```bash

uvx gdpr-shift-left-mcp

```

#### Install from source

```bash

# Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/KevinRabun/GDPRShiftLeftMCP.git

cd GDPRShiftLeftMCP

# Install in development mode

pip install -e ".[dev]"

```

### VS Code Integration

The repository includes `.vscode/mcp.json` for automatic MCP server registration. After installation, the GDPR tools appear in GitHub Copilot's tool list.

To configure manually, add to your VS Code settings:

```json

{

  "mcp": {

    "servers": {

      "gdpr-shift-left-mcp": {

        "type": "stdio",

        "command": "python",

        "args": ["-m", "gdpr_shift_left_mcp"]

      }

    }

  }

}

```

### Running the Server

```bash

# Run directly

python -m gdpr_shift_left_mcp

# Or via the installed entry point

gdpr-shift-left-mcp

```

## Online Updates

The server fetches GDPR data from a configurable online source, with local caching:

- **Source URL:** Set via `GDPR_SOURCE_URL` environment variable

- **Cache TTL:** Default 1 hour (configurable via `GDPR_CACHE_TTL`)

- **Cache directory:** `__gdpr_cache__/` (configurable via `GDPR_CACHE_DIR`)

- **Fallback:** Built-in data if online fetch fails
