This repository contains the source of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server
implementation, under npm/. It speaks MCP over stdio to any MCP client and is
published as @theartofservice/compliance-mcp.
Alongside it, python/ holds a LangChain toolkit for the same API. That one is
not an MCP server, it is an SDK, and it is here because it targets the same graph.
The server exposes a compliance knowledge graph of 686 frameworks, 21,696+ controls and 300K+ cross-framework mappings, where a mapping records what one standard already evidences of another, along with the reasoning and the rejections.
| what it is | source | published as | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node | MCP server, stdio | npm/src/index.js | @theartofservice/compliance-mcp |
| Python | LangChain toolkit, not MCP | python/src/theartofservice_compliance/ | theartofservice-compliance |
The Node implementation is built on the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, registering
its tools through Server and serving them over StdioServerTransport.
| tool | what it answers |
|---|---|
search_frameworks | find a standard by name or subject |
get_framework | one framework in full, with its domains |
get_framework_controls | the control set of a framework |
search_controls | find controls by text across the graph |
cross_framework_map | what standard A already evidences of standard B |
coverage_report | how much of a target standard a source covers |
Tools list without a key, so any client can inspect the server. Calling one needs
THEARTOFSERVICE_API_KEY. If you would rather not sign up for anything, the hosted
endpoint below serves the same graph anonymously.
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client can launch either one directly. Add to your client config:
If you would rather not run anything, the same server is hosted:
Streamable HTTP, anonymous access. It is listed in the official MCP registry as
com.theartofservice/compliance-intelligence.
