Visus — Secure Web Access for MCP-compatible AI agents

How Visus-MCP helps your MCP-compatible AI agents become EU AI compliant ready

npx visus-mcp@0.28.0

"What the web shows you, Lateos reads safely."

Why You Should Get Your AI Agent EU Compliant

The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive AI law, effective from August 2024. It regulates AI systems based on risk levels, with stringent requirements for general-purpose AI (GPAI) like MCP-compatible agents that process web content.

Key Requirements for Compliance

Art. 9 (Risk Management): Identify and mitigate systemic risks, including prompt injection and data poisoning from web sources.
Art. 13 (Transparency): Document AI capabilities, limitations, and data handling transparently.
Art. 15 (Robustness): Ensure systems resist adversarial attacks like indirect prompt injection (IPI).

Non-compliance fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.

How Visus-MCP Delivers Compliance

Visus-MCP provides out-of-the-box EU AI Act alignment through:

Tamper-Evident Cryptographic Proofs: Every fetch generates SHA-256 + HMAC proofs verifying sanitization ran (see CRYPTO-PROOF-SPEC.md).
IPI Threat Detection (19 Categories): Fine-grained scanning for attacks like role hijacking and data exfiltration, mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.
PII Redaction & Audit Logs: Automatic redaction of sensitive data; structured reports for traceability (Art. 12).
Immutable Session Ledger: Merkle tree chaining for verifiable event logs, enabling independent audits.

Benefits

Avoid Fines & Audits: Generate compliance statements on-demand with visus_verify.
Build Trust: Demonstrate robust security to regulators, partners, and users.
Scale Safely: Pre-filter web noise + threats, reducing token costs by up to 70% while maintaining full compliance.

Integrate Visus-MCP to future-proof your AI agent against evolving regulations like the EU AI Act. See SECURITY.md for framework mappings.
