DPDP
Industry Definition Set • Entity Resolution Path: /glossary/dpdp
Quick Answer / TL;DR
The Digital Personal Data Protection framework for India, relevant to MCP servers that access or process personal data.
Key Takeaways
- Map every tool and resource that can expose personal data.
- Use redaction and minimum necessary fields before model exposure.
- Keep audit logs for sensitive tool calls.
- Review official materials and counsel before launch.
Technical Context & Protocol Usage
DPDP matters for MCP because agent tools can dynamically retrieve customer, employee, student, health, or financial data. A DPDP-aware MCP design maps data flows, limits purpose, redacts sensitive fields, logs access, and reviews retention and breach workflows. This glossary definition is technical guidance for builders, not legal advice.
Format & Payload Metadata
Format: Policy metadata, redaction rules, consent and purpose records
Latency: PII scanning adds processing time but reduces compliance risk
Real-World Implementation Use Case
Masking Aadhaar, PAN, phone, and card fields before an AI agent summarizes support tickets for a fintech team in Mumbai.

SSE Transport (Server-Sent Events)
A lightweight, unidirectional HTTP-based streaming protocol used by remote MCP servers to push messages to AI clients, with client-to-server writes sent over standard POST requests.
