PrivShift MCP server for AI assistants

AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can read PrivShift's current plans, prices, server locations, app capabilities and service status straight from PrivShift, so their answers match this website.

Endpoint

URL

https://api.privshift.com/mcp/v1

Transport

Streamable HTTP (JSON responses, no session)

Protocol versions

2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26

Sign-in

None. Every tool is public and read-only.

Tools

list_plans

Lists the PrivShift plans on sale now with price, currency, term, monthly equivalent, renewal amount, device limit and included features, and the countries where subscriptions can be bought.

list_locations

Lists the cities and countries where PrivShift has VPN servers you can choose. Optionally filter by a two-letter country code.

get_service_capabilities

Describes what PrivShift does (encryption, kill switch, private DNS and IPv6 protection, what it does not record) and which apps are available for which platforms.

get_service_status

Reports whether the PrivShift service is operating normally and what keeps working during an outage.

The tools cannot read accounts, subscriptions, devices, payment details, keys or server infrastructure. This server has no tools for your own account.

Connect an assistant

Add a remote MCP server with the URL above in your assistant's MCP or connector settings. For example, with Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http privshift https://api.privshift.com/mcp/v1

Clients configured with a JSON file usually take an entry like this:

{ "mcpServers": { "privshift": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.privshift.com/mcp/v1" } } }

To try the tools by hand, open the MCP Inspector, choose Streamable HTTP and enter the URL.

Limits

• Requests are limited to 60 per minute from one network address; more get HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header.
• A request body may be at most 16 KB, and a tool answers within 5 seconds or returns an error.
• Tool arguments must match each tool's published input schema exactly; anything else is refused.

Versioning

The /mcp/v1 path keeps its tools and their answers backward compatible. A breaking change gets a new path, and this page will list it.

Privacy

The MCP server keeps no record of the questions you ask an assistant or of tool arguments. It counts tool calls by tool, outcome and response time only.
