What is Lumen Argus?

Lumen Argus is a local HTTP proxy that sits between AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) and their API providers. Every outbound request is scanned for sensitive data before it leaves your machine or network.

AI Coding Tool  ──>  Lumen Argus (proxy)  ──>  AI Provider
                          |
                 Scan for secrets, PII,
                 and proprietary data
                          |
                 Action: block | alert | redact | log

Why?

AI coding assistants send your code context to external APIs on every request. This creates real data leak risks: API keys, database credentials, customer PII, and proprietary algorithms can all be transmitted without your knowledge.
