Pack: nist-standards · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nist_control_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Keyword search across NIST 800-53 security/privacy controls and NIST 800-171 CUI requirements by title and requirement text. Use when the id is unknown — “NIST security control for least privilege”, “NIST control about session lock”, “NIST 800-53 encryption at rest”, “NIST cybersecurity control multi-factor authentication”, “access control / identification and authentication / system and communications protection”. All query tokens must match (case-insensitive AND). Optional family filter (code like “AC”, “IA”, “SC” or a family name like “access control”). Returns matching {id, family, title, snippet}. Source: SP 800-53 Rev 5 + SP 800-171 Rev 3. Examples: {“query”:“least privilege”}, {“query”:“multi-factor authentication”,“family”:“IA”}, {“query”:“boundary protection”}.
