Fedramp Docs Mcp
Exposes 20+ tools to query FedRAMP compliance docs, KSIs, NIST control mappings, and Significant Change guidance directly from the FedRAMP/docs GitHub repository. You get structured access to all 12 FRMR document types, full-text markdown search across 62+ guidance files, KSI filtering by impact level and theme, and control coverage analysis. The server auto-clones and indexes the upstream repo, maintains an inverted search index with Lunr, and can diff between FRMR versions. Note that the project is sunsetting,the maintainer is folding these capabilities into GRC Clanker and myctrl.tools for tighter workflow integration. Useful if you're building compliance automation or need programmatic access to FedRAMP requirements without scraping PDFs.

FedRAMP Docs MCP Server
⚠️ This project is sunsetting
This MCP server is no longer under active development. The FedRAMP search and FRMR parsing capabilities are being folded into GRC Clanker and myctrl.tools, where they live inside an actual GRC workflow instead of as a standalone subprocess.
The npm package and this repository remain available for existing users, but no new features will land here. For the reasoning and post-mortem, see the project writeup.
