Privacy Policy — Bindery MCP

Last updated: April 09, 2026

What Bindery MCP does

Bindery MCP is a local MCP server that provides book authoring tools (chapter navigation, full-text search, typography formatting, translation management, and version snapshots) for AI assistants like Claude Desktop.

Data collection

Bindery MCP does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All operations run entirely on your local machine.

File access

The extension reads and writes files only within the book project directories you explicitly configure via the "Books" setting. Write operations are limited to:

  • .bindery/ folder (search index, translations.json)
  • Story, Notes, and Arc folders (typography formatting, git snapshots)

Network connections

Bindery MCP makes no network requests by default. If you optionally configure an Ollama URL for semantic search, relevant text from your workspace may be sent to that configured Ollama instance to generate embeddings or rerank search results. No data is sent to Bindery or to any other external third-party service.

Third-party sharing

No data is shared with third parties.

Data retention

No data is retained outside your local filesystem.

Analytics and telemetry

Bindery MCP does not include any analytics, telemetry, or tracking.

Changes to this policy

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
