GIA Governance Intelligence Automation

Enterprise AI governance through the Model Context Protocol.

GIA is a production governance engine that gives AI agents enforceable decision controls, compliance scoring, immutable audit chains, and human-in-the-loop gates. Built for organizations operating under NIST, FedRAMP, CMMC, EU AI Act, and SOC 2 requirements.

29 MCP tools. One integration point. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, OpenAI Agent Builder, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start

npx gia-mcp-server

Or install globally:

npm install -g gia-mcp-server
gia-mcp-server

The server connects to the hosted GIA engine at https://gia.aceadvising.com. Configure your API key:

GIA_API_KEY=your-key npx gia-mcp-server

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gia-governance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gia-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "GIA_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add gia-governance -- npx -y gia-mcp-server

OpenAI Agent Builder

Point to the Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://gia.aceadvising.com/mcp

Smithery

npx -y @smithery/cli install @knowledgepa3/gia-mcp-server --client claude

Architecture

GIA enforces governance through three layers:

1. Decision Controls — MAI classification gates side effects and high-impact actions
2. Step Hooks — Workflow progression control at each pipeline stage
3. Kernel Hooks — Resource control at the LLM boundary, including sub-agents

Every governance action is recorded in a SHA-256 hash-chained audit ledger that can be independently verified.

Compliance Coverage

• NIST AI RMF — Risk management framework mapping
• EU AI Act — Risk tier assessment and control mapping
• ISO 42001 — AI management system alignment
• NIST 800-53 — Federal security control mapping
• CMMC 2.0 — DoD cybersecurity maturity
• FedRAMP — Federal cloud authorization
• SOC 2 — Service organization controls

About

Built by Advanced Consulting Experts (ACE) — a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

GIA was designed by William J. Storey III, a 17-year Information System Security Officer with experience across DoD contracts and U.S. Army Ranger Battalion operations. The same discipline applied to securing classified systems now governs AI agent workforces.
