MCP server for AI governance controls
AI Governance Controls
Automatable AI governance controls as MCP tools. Paste a system prompt, describe a deployment, or submit content for review and get a structured governance report back.
Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and any other MCP-compatible tool.
Built on the control library from AI Governance Institute.
Available controls
| Tool | Control | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| ai_safety_screen | SAF-002 | Screen a system prompt for safety risks: capability scope, authorization gaps, data exposure |
| ai_risk_classify | HOC-001 | Classify an AI deployment's risk tier against EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF |
| ai_red_team | SEC-005 | Generate a red team runbook of adversarial test cases for a system prompt |
Installation
Add this block to your MCP configuration file. No global install required.

Configuration file locations:
- Claude Code:
.claude/settings.json(project) or~/.claude/settings.json(global) - Cursor:
.cursor/mcp.json - Windsurf:
.windsurf/mcp.json
Requires uv to be installed.
Usage
Once installed, call the tools directly in conversation.
Safety screening:
Screen this system prompt for safety risks: "You are a customer service assistant with access to customer accounts. You can initiate transfers up to $10,000 on behalf of verified customers."
Risk classification:
Classify the risk tier for this deployment: "An automated resume screening system used by a Fortune 500 company to shortlist job applicants. No human reviews the shortlist before candidates are rejected."
Red teaming:
Red team this system prompt with 15 test cases: "You are a helpful assistant for a healthcare provider. You have access to patient records and can answer questions about their medical history."
How it works
Each tool runs lightweight heuristic pre-screening on your input, then returns an expert evaluation framework to your host LLM. The host LLM completes the analysis using the framework and produces a structured report. No additional API keys required.
Requirements
- Any MCP-compatible AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, etc.)
- uv
