Kiteworks Secure MCP Server: Use AI With Your Sensitive Data Without the Risk
Video
Every organization faces the same tension: Employees want to use AI tools like Claude and Copilot to work faster, but security teams know that feeding confidential documents into public AI services is a compliance nightmare waiting to happen. Block AI entirely, and people find workarounds. Allow it freely, and you’re one mistake away from exposing merger documents, patient records, or privileged legal files to the internet. With data breaches averaging $4.44 million in damages, “hope for the best” isn’t a strategy.
Kiteworks Secure MCP Server eliminates this tradeoff. It creates a secure bridge between your sensitive files and popular AI assistants, letting employees use natural language to search, organize, and analyze documents while keeping everything inside your private network. When a financial analyst asks Claude to summarize Q4 results, or an attorney asks Copilot to organize case files by date, the AI works with the data without that data ever leaving your controlled environment. Your existing permission structures stay in place—the AI can only touch what each user is already authorized to access.
The security runs deep. Every AI interaction passes through your role-based and attribute-based access controls. Authentication happens through OAuth 2.0, so credentials never get exposed to the AI models themselves. TLS encryption protects data in transit, rate limiting prevents abuse, and comprehensive audit logs track every operation for compliance reporting. For healthcare organizations maintaining HIPAA requirements, legal teams protecting attorney-client privilege, or financial institutions handling confidential transactions, this means AI productivity without regulatory exposure.
Deployment takes hours, not months. Native support for Windows, Linux, and macOS means no complex infrastructure changes. The system connects directly to Claude, Copilot, and other AI platforms through the open Model Context Protocol standard—a future-proof approach that won’t lock you into a single vendor. Thousands of enterprises already trust Kiteworks to protect their sensitive content. Now that same protection extends to the AI tools your teams are asking for.
