# Metis FCA Handbook AI Harness — MCP Server An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates the Metis FCA Handbook AI Harness into Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible agents. **Tool name:** `evaluate_fca_handbook_applicability` Use this tool to analyze FCA Handbook applicability for a product, service, or firm. Returns structured compliance reasoning with verbatim handbook citations. ## Why choose The Metis FCA Handbook AI Harness? - **Efficiency** Multiplies effectiveness of compliance advice. Saves £80+ in token fees per Harness run. - **Deals with "Hard Problem"**, in which LLMs' token incentives prioritise training data so results are unreliable. - **Verbatim citations** Quotes verbatim entries from the FCA Handbook.

Carries out structured searches across all 10,000+ FCA Handbook entries. - **Secure Design** Harness compartmentalisation, one-shot structure, and statelessness fits natively with emerging AI agent security standards such as OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026. - **AI Accessible** Integrates easily with AI workflows and agents. Your LLM can use it as a tool. ## Design Principles The Harness is built on proven principles: - **Stateless** — Each request is independent; no session coupling - **One-shot** — Complete analysis in a single call; no multi-turn state - **Clear contract** — Explicit input/output schemas for easy integration - **Hosted** — Single canonical source; no version drift or stale data ## Use Cases ### Compliance AI Platforms Embed FCA reasoning as a service within your compliance platform. Users ask natural-language questions; your platform calls the Harness and presents structured reasoning. ### AI Agent Workflows Agents building compliance workflows can include FCA Handbook reasoning as a composed tool—no external API calls, just MCP configuration. ### Compliance Review Automation Integrate into document review or due-diligence pipelines. Automatically screen new rules against FCA applicability. ## For Regulatory Screening FS firms screening MCP servers will find: - **Simple model:** Stateless, no hidden state, no background jobs - **Clear contract:** Explicit input schema, output schema, error modes - **Transparent updates:** Version pinning; no automatic upgrades - **Single point of failure:** If the Harness is down, it is obvious; no cascading config issues - **Audit-friendly:** All calls logged centrally, not distributed
