What is the VISO TRUST MCP server?

Viso trust mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with VISO TRUST directly. Access and manage your VISO TRUST third-party risk program directly through your AI assistant.

What VISO TRUST does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating VISO TRUST API capabilities with AI assistants.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 12 tools directly:

  • visotrust.api.base-url — The base URL for the VISO TRUST API (default: http://localhost:8080)
  • visotrust.api.token — Your API token from the VISO TRUST platform (required)
  • visotrust.api.timeout — API request timeout in milliseconds (default: 30000)
  • visotrust.api.connect-timeout — API connection timeout in milliseconds (default: 5000)
  • Debugging — The Debugging tool exposed by this server
  • Lint — Checks code formatting using Spotless: bash ./gradlew spotlessCheck
  • Build — Builds the application and creates a JAR file: bash ./gradlew build
  • Publish — When a new release is created: 1. Updates the project version in build.gradle to match the release tag 2. Uploads the JAR file to the GitHub release with the
  • Assessments — The Assessments tool exposed by this server
  • Relationships — The Relationships tool exposed by this server
  • Webhooks — The Webhooks tool exposed by this server
  • get_all_we — The get_all_we tool exposed by this server

Installing the viso trust mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: VISOTRUST_API_BASEURL, VISOTRUST_API_TOKEN, JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, DOCKERHUB_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Java 21+ - Gradle - Docker (optional for containerized deployment) - MCP Inspector (optional for testing)

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. VISO TRUST sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — visotrust.api.base-url, visotrust.api.token, visotrust.api.timeout among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This is a hosted server — you point your client at an endpoint rather than running a local process, so there is nothing to keep updated on your machine.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • With 12 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use VISO TRUST.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the viso trust mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects VISO TRUST to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 12 tools (visotrust.api.base-url, visotrust.api.token, visotrust.api.timeout, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with VISO TRUST directly.
