About compliance
RuleMesh is a hosted compliance MCP server for engineers and AI agents working with GDPR and the EU AI Act. It provides source-traced requirements, implementation checklists, evidence submission, and human verification tracking without receiving repository source code.
Key features
- 01Scope GDPR and EU AI Act applicability
- 02Retrieve source-traced requirements
- 03Generate engineering implementation checklists
- 04Submit evidence signals and filenames
- 05Track progress and human verification
Use cases
- 01Determine whether a system falls under the EU AI Act
- 02Plan GDPR work for an application
- 03Get implementation steps for a data-export feature
- 04Submit evidence signals for repository requirements
MCP support
The remote MCP server at https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp exposes tools, workflow prompts, and regulation metadata resources to MCP clients. It uses OAuth login; source-code contents remain local, while evidence submissions contain descriptions and relevant filenames.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://api.rulemesh.com/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http com-rulemesh-compliance https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp{"mcpServers":{"com-rulemesh-compliance":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"com-rulemesh-compliance":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"com-rulemesh-compliance":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"com-rulemesh-compliance":{"serverUrl":"https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMERuleMesh MCP
Engineered Compliance Infrastructure for engineers and AI agents.
RuleMesh delivers source-traced rules for GDPR and the EU AI Act: determine applicability, retrieve the requirements and implementation checklists that apply to a system, submit evidence signals, and track human verification. It runs as a hosted remote MCP server at https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth login), consumable from any MCP client.
This repo is the canonical home for the server's listing (server.json, published to the MCP Registry as com.rulemesh/compliance) and client setup docs.
Connect
You authenticate once in the browser (email/password or Google); no API key to manage. A RuleMesh account is required. The FREE tier includes GDPR. EU AI Act access and control mappings are available with a paid subscription.
OpenAI Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[features]
rmcp_client = true # enables the remote MCP client (use experimental_use_rmcp_client = true on older Codex)
[mcp_servers.rulemesh]
url = "https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"
startup_timeout_sec = 30
tool_timeout_sec = 120
Then codex mcp login rulemesh (opens the browser for OAuth), and /mcp in the TUI to confirm the tools loaded.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http rulemesh https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp
Run /mcp and follow the browser login. A packaged plugin is also available at RuleMesh/rulemesh-claude-plugin.
Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code / other clients
Add a remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server pointing at https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp. For example, Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) or Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"rulemesh": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.rulemesh.com/mcp"
}
}
}
What you get
The server groups its 19 tools around one loop: plan, pull, implement, prove. GDPR and the EU AI Act are live today, with access depending on the account's plan.
- Discovery and scoping:
list_regulations,list_frameworks,lookup_definition,get_compliance_plan,scope_next_question,scope_classify,scope_retrieve_source,scope_query_applicable,scope_update_profile - Implement:
pull_rules,scan_compliance - Prove:
submit_signals,submit_signals_batch - Track:
get_progress,get_ticket_status,get_scan_sessions,start_scan,end_scan,resume_session
Four prompts package the common workflows: implement_bundle, scan_and_report_bundle, review_bundle, and plan_compliance. One resource, regulation://{id}, returns regulation metadata.
Your coding agent reads your repository locally using RuleMesh requirements. RuleMesh does not read or receive source-code contents. Evidence submissions contain the evidence description and relevant filenames; they do not certify compliance or mark a requirement verified. Verification remains a human action.
Example prompts
- "Which regulations can I use on my current RuleMesh plan?"
- "Does the EU AI Act apply to this system? Ask the necessary scoping questions and cite the source provisions behind the result."
- "Give me a prioritised GDPR implementation plan for this application."
- "Pull the GDPR rules for my data-export feature and give me an engineering checklist."
- "Review this repository against the pulled requirements. Submit only evidence signals and filenames; do not upload source code or mark anything verified."
Authentication
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration. Clients register themselves and open a browser login; tokens refresh automatically.
About RuleMesh
RuleMesh is Engineered Compliance Infrastructure — the engineered rule graph that sits between regulation as written and software as built, consumable by engineers, AI agents, and auditors. It defines what each obligation requires, how to execute it with framework-specific controls, and what evidence proves it was done. GDPR and the EU AI Act are released today; more regulations are on the roadmap. → rulemesh.com

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.
