What it does

acf-mcp exposes the ACF® doctrine — 4 principles, 4 autonomy levels, 6 maturity dimensions, the DDAO role, 17 methodological cards, 5 expert regulatory guides (AI Act, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, ISO 42001), the white paper and the glossary — as native MCP Resources, Tools and Prompts so any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue…) can reason on top of it.

It also ships 8 deterministic REASON tools (built on a versioned knowledge base — no internal LLM call) that take a user case and return a structured ACF® governance assessment:

• acf.advisor — generic case → structured advice (autonomy + risk + principles + fiches + first actions)
• acf.classify-agent — killer tool: 10-field qualified-enum input → preliminary qualification (ACF level + criticality + AI Act role + GDPR status + obligations by lifecycle + DDAO controls + sign-off requirements)
• acf.assess-autonomy — N0-N3 recommendation with go/no-go + gating + kill switch design
• acf.identify-governance-gaps — 6-dimension maturity score + prioritised remediation
• acf.map-ai-act-obligations — full obligation set structured by lifecycle phase (pre-go-live / continuous / on-incident) with Digital Omnibus deferrals
• acf.assign-ddao-controls — level × risk → recommended + ACF-canonical controls
• acf.evaluate-agent-mandate — 8-check audit of an existing mandate
• acf.map-to-standards — for each of the 17 ACF® cards, the reverse-index of articles from EU AI Act / GDPR / DORA / NIS2 / ISO 42001 that connect to it (the cross-mapping consumed by audits and regulator filings)

Every REASON output is signed: doctrine_version, doctrine_hash, doctrine_archive_url, regulatory_snapshot, generated_at. Every REASON output is positioned as preliminary qualification, not legal advice — requires_human_review: true is constant in V1.0.

Install (stdio)

# Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf:
npx -y acf-mcp

Add to Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acf": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "acf-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

No API key — V1.0 is open access (cf. Position stratégique in the spec).

Discover & install

acf-mcp is a local stdio server — there is no hosted HTTP endpoint to configure; it runs on the client via npx (above). Find it through:

• npm — acf-mcp
• MCP Registry — io.github.acfstandard/acf-mcp
• Smithery — search acf-mcp

Locales

V1.0 ships FR + EN translated. The 11 other locales (es, de, pt, it, nl, ru, ar, tr, ja, zh, ko) are infrastructure-supported but fallback to EN with _meta.is_fallback: true signalled. Full translation comes in V1.3 with native juristic review per jurisdiction.

Doctrine traceability

Every REASON output embeds:

• doctrine_version — e.g. "ACF framework v1.0 / rules 2026-06"
• doctrine_hash — sha256 of the active content + rules at call time
• doctrine_archive_url — permanent archive of the doctrine version used
• regulatory_snapshot — corpus that was reasoned against
• generated_at — ISO 8601 timestamp

An audit can reconstruct the exact analysis produced at instant T by loading the archive URL.
