Bidda Sovereign Intelligence MCP Server
9,762 source-verified regulatory compliance nodes across 39 sovereign pillars. Built to reduce hallucination by grounding every node in primary legal sources.
  
_Actively maintained. Last reviewed 2026-06-21 - 9,762 nodes across 39 pillars, 14 MCP tools (server v1.1.0). Live counts always available via list_pillars() and GET https://bidda.com/mcp._
What is Bidda?
Bidda is a sovereign compliance intelligence registry. Every node traces to a primary legal source (avg 7 citations per node) and contains machine-executable deterministic logic, not summaries, not PDFs, not paraphrased commentary.
Pillars covered: EU AI Act · GDPR · NIST AI 600-1 · Basel III · HIPAA · DORA · FATF · SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · CCPA · PIPEDA · APRA CPS 234 · MiCA · POPIA · plus a MITRE layer across ATT&CK Enterprise/Mobile/ICS, D3FEND, ATLAS and CAPEC, and 150+ others across 39 compliance domains.

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | list_pillars | List all 39 compliance pillars with live node counts | | search_nodes | Search by keyword across 9,762 nodes; returns title, ID, pillar, and BLUF (plain-language obligation) | | get_node | Fetch a specific node by ID; returns summary plus link to machine-executable workflow | | get_dependency_chain | Walk the prerequisite chain for a node (1 to 4 hops). Plan a full compliance posture from one entry node. | | get_crosswalk | Cross-framework mapping dimensions for a node (e.g. GDPR Art 17 to CCPA right-to-delete to POPIA Sec 24) | | get_latest_changes | Regulatory change feed: most recently updated nodes, optional pillar filter | | get_jurisdiction_bundle | All nodes that apply in a specific jurisdiction (EU, US, UK, AU, SG, IN, CA, CN, ZA, JP, BR and others) | | get_mitre_mapping | MITRE technique ID to Bidda node plus mapped NIST/ISO/PCI/HIPAA/NIS2/DORA controls. Across 6 frameworks. | | check_action_compliance | Pre-flight runtime check. Describe an intended action in natural language; get ranked applicable regulations plus LOW/MODERATE/HIGH risk indicator. | | browse_topics | Browse the registry by cross-cutting compliance topic (e.g. data breach notification, AI transparency) across every pillar and jurisdiction |
Subscriber tools (pass your Bidda key as api_key; a free trial counts)
| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | compare_jurisdictions | Compare how jurisdictions address a topic side by side, including where their numeric thresholds differ (e.g. a breach-notification deadline of 72 hours versus 30 days). Does not rank which is stricter. | | create_attestation | Create a signed, time-stamped record of which rules a person or AI agent relied on for a decision, with a public verify URL | | point_in_time | Signed record of which committed version of a rule was authoritative at a past date, anchored to the public history chain | | watch_changes | Subscribe to email or webhook alerts when a watched rule or pillar's primary source changes |
The discovery responses for every free tool are free. Full vault unlock (deterministic_workflow, actionable_schema, full primary_citations) costs $0.01 per node via Skyfire JWT or USDC on Base. The subscriber tools require an active Bidda subscription, which includes a free trial.

How Bidda reduces hallucination
Nodes are produced by Bidda's internal deterministic pipeline: source parsers and verification scripts do the heavy lifting, AI assists only in a small, tightly-gated drafting step, and every node passes multiple independent verification gates before publication. The whole design exists to keep drift to a minimum.
Every node has:
- Primary legal citations: real instruments, real URLs, real section numbers (avg 7 per node)
- Deterministic workflow: machine-executable steps, not prose summaries
- Integrity hash: a cryptographic fingerprint of the node content
- Source integrity watcher: regular TLS and content fingerprint checks against live regulator URLs, results published at
/api/v1/registry-health.json - Verbatim mandate on amendments: every regulatory amendment is quote-justified against the source text before it can change a node
No inference without a regulatory anchor. No blog posts. No secondary commentary. No Wikipedia. Bidda is an information tool, not legal advice; review each rule and its primary source before relying on it.
CISA Secure by Design
Bidda has publicly attested to the CISA Secure by Design Pledge, the seven public goals the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency asks software manufacturers to commit to. Additional Bidda and CISA mappings:
- CISA CPG crosswalk: bidirectional mapping between Bidda compliance nodes and CISA's Cybersecurity Performance Goals: bidda.com/cisa/cpg-crosswalk
- CISA Free Tools catalogue: no-cost capabilities Bidda offers federal, SLTT and critical-infrastructure defenders: bidda.com/cisa/free
