Quick Install

Automated & IDE Setup

Copy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.

One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.

Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON ▾

No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for Nist Standards, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.

Tool	Description
`nist_control`	Look up the full text of one NIST 800-53 security control or NIST 800-171 CUI security requirement by id — the control statement (requirement prose), discussion/guidance, and related controls. Use for "what does NIST control AC-2 require", "NIST 800-53 AC-2 access control", "FedRAMP control SC-7 boundary protection", "NIST authenticator management IA-5", "NIST CUI control 800-171 3.1.1". Forgiving id: accepts "AC-2", "ac-2", "AC-02", control enhancements "AC-2(1)" or "AC-2.1", and CUI ids "3.1.1" / "3.01.01". Source: SP 800-53 Rev 5 and SP 800-171 Rev 3 (official NIST OSCAL, public domain). Examples: {"id":"AC-2"}, {"id":"SC-7"}, {"id":"IA-5"}, {"id":"AC-2(1)"}, {"id":"3.1.1"}.
`nist_control_search`	Keyword search across NIST 800-53 security/privacy controls and NIST 800-171 CUI requirements by title and requirement text. Use when the id is unknown — "NIST security control for least privilege", "NIST control about session lock", "NIST 800-53 encryption at rest", "NIST cybersecurity control multi-factor authentication", "access control / identification and authentication / system and communications protection". All query tokens must match (case-insensitive AND). Optional family filter (code like "AC", "IA", "SC" or a family name like "access control"). Returns matching {id, family, title, snippet}. Source: SP 800-53 Rev 5 + SP 800-171 Rev 3. Examples: {"query":"least privilege"}, {"query":"multi-factor authentication","family":"IA"}, {"query":"boundary protection"}.
`nist_control_family`	List every NIST control in a family — the FedRAMP/800-53 control-family baseline. Use for "list all NIST access control controls", "NIST 800-53 AC family", "what controls are in identification and authentication", "NIST system and communications protection family". Input a family code ("AC", "IA", "SC", "AU", "SI", …) or a family name ("access control"). Returns the family title plus every control id + title (including enhancements). Source: SP 800-53 Rev 5 (+ SP 800-171 Rev 3). Examples: {"family":"AC"}, {"family":"identification and authentication"}, {"family":"SC"}.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nist-standards": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nist-standards/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nist-standards/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

Code

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Nist Standards data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nist Standards

We don't have a confirmed install command for Nist Standards yet, so we don't publish a generated one — a guessed package name would point at the wrong package or none at all. Follow the project's own README or setup instructions (https://github.com/pipeworx-io/mcp-nist-standards) for the current steps.
