About Synthetic Data MCP

Synthetic Data MCP is an MCP server published by marc-shade in the Developer Tools category: enterprise-grade synthetic data generation MCP server with privacy-preserving capabilities.

Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.

Install

From source
git clone https://github.com/marc-shade/synthetic-data-mcp

This server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

)

# Or let system use mixed providers (default)
result = await pipeline.ingest(
    source=data  # Automatically uses weighted distribution

  2. Implement DSPy LM interface
  3. Add configuration in core/generator.py
  4. Add tests in tests/test_providers.py

Examples

Healthcare Example

import asyncio
from synthetic_data_mcp import SyntheticDataGenerator

async def generate_patients():
    generator = SyntheticDataGenerator()
    
    result = await generator.generate_dataset(
        domain="healthcare",
        dataset_type="patient_records",
        record_count=1000,
        privacy_level="high",
        compliance_frameworks=["hipaa"]
    )
    
    print(f"Generated {len(result['dataset'])} patient records")
    return result

# Run the example
asyncio.run(generate_patients())

Finance Example

async def generate_transactions():
    generator = SyntheticDataGenerator()
    
    result = await generator.generate_dataset(
        domain="finance",
        dataset_type="transactions",
        record_count=50000,
        privacy_level="high",

Questions

About Synthetic Data MCP

How do I install Synthetic Data MCP?

No package has been published for this server, so install it from source: clone the repository and follow its README.

Is Synthetic Data MCP safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 53 out of 100 (fair). It passes 2 of the 3 static security checks run so far; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is Synthetic Data MCP still maintained?

The last commit was 9 months ago. That's long enough that you should check whether the maintainer is responding to issues before depending on it.
