Security-first web access for Claude. Sanitizes pages, blocks injection, redacts PII.
Most AI and media services work still happens through a UI a human drives. Visus MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Security-first web access for Claude. Sanitizes pages, blocks injection, redacts PII.
How Visus-MCP helps your MCP-compatible AI agents become EU AI compliant ready bash npx visus-mcp@0.28.0
The server publishes 9 tools. What each one is for:
Benefits — Integrate Visus-MCP to future-proof your AI agent against evolving regulations like the EU AI Act. See SECURITY.md for frameworkInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverArchitecture — The Architecture tool exposed by this serverConfiguration — See SECURITY.md for full threat model, test examples, and CloudWatch monitoring metricsvisus_fetch — Fetch and sanitize a web page with automatic format detection. Supports HTML, JSON, XML, and RSS/Atom feeds. Includes NIST AI RMF / CSF 2.0 / AIvisus_read — Extract clean article content from a web page using Mozilla Readability (reader mode). Includes NIST AI RMF / CSF 2.0 / AI 600-1 / OWASP LLM / MITREvisus_search — Search the web via DuckDuckGo and return sanitized results with prompt injection and PII removed. Use before visus_fetch or visus_read to safelyvisus_fetch_structured — Extract structured data from a web page according to a schema. Includes NIST AI RMF / CSF 2.0 / AI 600-1 / OWASP LLM / MITRE ATLAS / ISO/IEC 42001visus_verify — The visus_verify tool exposed by this serverBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Configuration is passed through the environment: VISUS_RENDERER_URL, VISUS_SIEM_ENDPOINT, VISUS_SIEM_HEADERS, VISUS_SIEM_SERVICE_NAME, VISUS_SPLUNK_HEC_URL, VISUS_SPLUNK_HEC_TOKEN, VISUS_SPLUNK_INDEX, VISUS_SPLUNK_SOURCETYPE. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the AI and media services group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Visus's toolset — Benefits, Installation, Architecture and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by leochong; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
