### Description (declared)

# compliance-kb-mcp

`compliance-kb-mcp` is a typed MCP server that exposes the canonical
**NIST Special Publication 800-53 Revision 5** control catalog (324 base
controls across 20 families) over stdio transport. Each control is annotated
with the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria identifiers it helps satisfy, derived
from publicly available crosswalks.

This package is part of the AuditPilot SOC 2 readiness reference architecture
and is designed to be easy to fork for other control catalogs.

## Why NIST 800-53?

- **Public domain.** NIST 800-53 is a U.S. federal government work and is in
  the public domain (17 U.S.C. 105). The full canonical control text can be
  redistributed without licensing concerns.
- **Machine-readable canonical source.** NIST publishes the catalog in OSCAL
  JSON, XML, and YAML at
  [usnistgov/oscal-content](https://github.com/usnistgov/oscal-content).
- **Well-mapped to SOC 2.** The AICPA publishes a TSC to 800-53 mapping
  (registration required); supplementary public crosswalks like the
  [Open Security Architecture project](https://opensecurityarchitecture.org/frameworks/soc2-tsc)
  make the relationship transparent.

## Positioning

> AuditPilot maps your environment to NIST 800-53 controls and shows which
> SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria are satisfied by your 800-53 coverage. The
> included `compliance-kb-mcp` ships with NIST 800-53 Rev 5 (public domain)
> and curated SOC 2 TSC mappings. For canonical SOC 2 TSC text, refer to
> AICPA-CIMA's published 2017 Trust Services Criteria -- that text is
> copyright-protected and is not redistributed in this package.
