Pond adopts a two-layer privacy protection design: 1) the base layer is realized by local storage, all the message data is only stored locally in the user's device, which completely avoids the risk of cloud leakage; 2) the access layer uses MCP (Message Context Protocol) protocol to encrypt the communication, which supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transmission methods.
When an AI application such as Claude Desktop needs to access data, it needs to be strictly configured: a JSON configuration containing APP_ID and POND_ACCESS_TOKEN is first generated in Pond, and then written to the target application's configuration file. The data never leaves the local device and requires a digital certificate for each access.
