Claude Connectors DLP: Where Data Loss Prevention Sits for Remote MCP Servers
Claude Connectors are built on the Model Context Protocol, and the transport a connector uses determines whether data loss prevention has anywhere to stand. Remote connectors speak HTTP to a server the organization can put a proxy in front of. Local connectors speak STDIO between two processes on the same machine, where no network control exists. This piece separates the two transports, walks the tool-result path that carries the real exfiltration risk, and sets out what a per-decision record needs to contain.
