What frameworks are included in this security controls database?

The server includes 1,451 security controls mapped across 261 frameworks. This covers major standards like NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and many others. The bidirectional mapping lets you find equivalent controls across different frameworks.

How do I install and run the security-controls MCP server?

Install using `uvx security-controls-mcp@0.4.0`. The server runs over stdio transport, so it integrates with any MCP client that supports that protocol. Check the project repository for detailed setup instructions.

Can I use this to map controls between compliance frameworks?

Yes, the bidirectional mapping is the core feature. You can query which controls in one framework correspond to controls in another, helping you understand overlaps and gaps when implementing multiple compliance standards.

Is there a cost to use this MCP server?

The registry metadata does not specify pricing details. Check the GitHub repository (io.github.Ansvar-Systems/security-controls) for licensing information and any associated costs.

What's the difference between this and manually searching compliance documentation?

This server provides structured, queryable access to 1,451 controls across 261 frameworks with pre-built mappings, eliminating manual cross-referencing. It's designed for rapid compliance research and control alignment rather than reading individual framework PDFs.
