What is the Compliance MCP server?

A remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing AI agents with access to a comprehensive compliance knowledge graph containing 692+ compliance frameworks, 14,200+ controls, and 819,000+ cross-framework mappings. The compliance mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 10 defined tools rather than through you.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • agent_search_frameworks — Search and list compliance frameworks by name, keyword, or jurisdiction
  • agent_get_framework — Get detailed information about a specific compliance framework
  • agent_get_framework_controls — Get all controls for a compliance framework, optionally filtered by domain
  • agent_get_control — Get detailed information about a specific control by code
  • agent_get_control_cross_references — Get cross-framework mappings for a control (equivalent controls in other frameworks)
  • agent_cross_framework_map — Map controls between two compliance frameworks
  • agent_coverage_report — Get cross-framework coverage analysis for a framework
  • agent_search — Full-text search across controls and frameworks
  • agent_platform_stats — Get platform statistics (framework, control, mapping counts)
  • agent_pricing_info — Get API pricing tiers and current usage information

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @theartofservice/compliance-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Compliance's toolset — agent_search_frameworks, agent_get_framework, agent_get_framework_controls and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gjb65; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Compliance.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the compliance mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Compliance to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 10 tools (agent_search_frameworks, agent_get_framework, agent_get_framework_controls, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Compliance directly.
