Australian AI Governance Framework

What australian-ai-governance-framework does

The australian-ai-governance-framework MCP server creates an organisation-specific Australian AI governance framework. It considers industry, organisation size, operating jurisdictions, turnover band, AI use cases, data types, and an optional description. The resulting document identifies legislation and regulatory instruments that may be relevant to that profile.

The mapping can include the Privacy Act 1988 and its Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, APP 1.7's automated-decision disclosure requirement from 10 December 2026, and sector regimes such as the Heavy Vehicle National Law, Fair Work Act 2009, and Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. Results are grouped by how confidently they apply: applies, may apply depending on facts held, or applicability turns on the organisation's own status.

The framework also uses six practices from the National AI Centre's October 2025 Guidance for AI Adoption: accountability, impact assessment, risk management, transparency and information sharing, testing and monitoring, and human oversight.

How it works

The service is hosted at https://aiframework.com.au/api/mcp.php and uses stateless JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP. Authentication is not required, and there is no API key, OAuth flow, or local process to provision.

The workflow has three calls:

1. start_australian_ai_governance_framework returns a session ID and the current seven-question questionnaire.
2. submit_ai_governance_profile stores the selected answers and contact details for that session.
3. get_ai_governance_framework generates the framework and returns a free preview, view_url, and purchase_url.

Generation takes about 30 seconds during the final call, so clients need a sufficiently long tool timeout. The framework is returned as Markdown in framework_markdown and also in a text content block. Clients should display it as a complete document rather than summarising the tool response.

Setup and configuration

Add the remote endpoint to an MCP client. Claude Desktop and Claude Code can use this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "australian-ai-governance-framework": {
      "url": "https://aiframework.com.au/api/mcp.php"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients should connect to the same Streamable HTTP URL with authentication unset. There is no local installation. If a client has cached older tool names or questionnaire choices, remove and reconnect the server so it refreshes its tool list.

The submission requires six answer fields: industry, orgSize, jurisdiction, turnover, aiUseCases, and dataTypes. additionalNotes is optional. Use the questionnaire's option strings exactly, including full state names and punctuation. Contact details require name, email, and organisation.

Tools and capabilities

• Start a profiling session and obtain the questionnaire.
• Save an organisation profile and contact record.
• Generate a tailored legislative mapping and AI6 governance content.
• Return a free preview with links for viewing and purchasing the full document.
• Replace an existing profile by resubmitting answers for the same session.

The paid framework costs $88 AUD including GST as a one-time purchase. Payment occurs through Stripe from the purchase page, not through the MCP endpoint.

Limitations and notes

The australian-ai-governance-framework maps laws from the supplied profile; it does not assess every fact about an organisation. Some thresholds therefore remain conditional, including aspects of the Privacy Act small-business exemption. The free preview includes complete results for instruments that apply or depend on the organisation's status, while some conditional instruments and later AI6 practices are limited until purchase.

Do not place personal, health, client, sensitive, or commercially confidential information in additionalNotes. That field is stored with the session and sent to Anthropic's API in the United States for generation. Contact names and email addresses are stored as contact records and are not sent to Anthropic. The website and database are hosted in Australia, and card details are handled by Stripe.
