About ThinkNEO Control Plane
ThinkNEO Control Plane is an open-source MCP server for AI governance, security, and observability. It provides tools for guardrails, FinOps, routing, compliance, and outcome validation, alongside the ThinkShield defense layer.
Key features
- 0172 governance and security tools
- 02ThinkShield detection and middleware
- 03FinOps and smart routing
- 04Observability and compliance
- 0524 MCP-to-A2A bridged skills
Use cases
- 01Apply runtime defenses to AI operations
- 02Track AI spending and route requests
- 03Inspect governance and observability data
- 04Validate outcomes and compliance
MCP support
The server exposes 72 tools, 2 resources, and 2 prompts to MCP clients, with logging and completion capabilities. It also bridges 24 skills to Google's Agent-to-Agent Protocol.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEThinkNEO MCP Server
Open MCP server with built-in defense layer (ThinkShield). Part of the ThinkNEO Platform — enterprise AI governance.
What This Is
An open-source MCP server providing 72 tools for AI governance, observability, and security:
- ThinkShield — Production defense layer: detection engine, 5 rule packs, runtime middleware. 145 tests, p99 < 1ms.
- 72 MCP Tools — Governance, guardrails, FinOps, smart routing, observability, compliance, outcome validation, and more.
- 24 A2A Skills — Bidirectional MCP-A2A bridge for Google's Agent-to-Agent Protocol (v0.3.0, Linux Foundation).
- Apache-2.0 — Use it, fork it, contribute.
What This Is Not
- Not the full ThinkNEO Platform. Governance orchestration, cryptographic audit chain, tenant management, and enterprise integrations are proprietary and run at thinkneo.ai.
- Not a standalone security product. ThinkShield is the defense component of a larger governed platform.
Why Open
We open-source our defense layer because real security doesn't depend on hidden rules — it depends on tested, audited, continuously improved detection plus a strong governance moat around it.
Snort. Suricata. Falco. OWASP CRS. The security industry runs on open detection. We follow that tradition.
The detection is open. The governance is proprietary. That's where the moat is.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
