What this MCP does

Searches and tracks NIST FIPS 140 cryptographic module validations, certificates, vendors, CVE associations, and sunset dates.

Capabilities

Tools

6 tools
fips_cert
Look up one FIPS 140 cryptographic module validation by certificate number. Returns status (active, historical or revoked), overall level, sunset date, validation history, approved algorithms and tested configurations.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'required': ['number'], 'properties': {'number': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 9007199254740991, 'exclusiveMinimum': 0}}}
fips_cve
Which FIPS-validated modules are associated with a given CVE, or which CVEs are associated with a vendor's modules. Answers 'we have a validated module, is it caught up in this advisory'. The association is name-based against the product CPE, so read it as a pointer to check rather than a finding. An empty result means nothing matched by name, not that the module is unaffected: only 4 of the 712 active certificates carry any association at all, and historical ones are never scanned.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'properties': {'cve': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'CVE id, e.g. CVE-2023-4807'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 50, 'maximum': 200, 'minimum': 1}, 'vendor': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Vendor name or part of one'}, 'min_cvss': {'type': 'number', 'maximum': 10, 'minimum': 0}}}
fips_in_process
Search NIST's Modules in Process queue: submissions awaiting FIPS 140-3 validation, with the review phase each one is sitting in. Use this when a vendor claims a validation is 'coming' and you need to know whether it has actually been submitted, and how far along it is.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 50, 'maximum': 200, 'minimum': 1}, 'phase': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'e.g. Review, Finalization, Coordination'}, 'query': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 2, 'description': 'Substring of the module name or vendor'}}}
fips_search
Search FIPS 140 validations by module name or vendor. Use this to answer whether a given product or vendor holds a current validation, and at what level. Results are ordered by status, then how well they match, then newest first, so the current validations lead.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'required': ['query'], 'properties': {'level': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 4, 'minimum': 1}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 20, 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}, 'query': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 2, 'description': 'Module name or vendor. Several words all have to match, in any order and across either field, so "openssl provider" works.'}, 'status': {'enum': ['active', 'historical', 'revoked'], 'type': 'string'}, 'standard': {'enum': ['140-1', '140-2', '140-3'], 'type': 'string'}}}
fips_sunset
List active FIPS validations by sunset date, the day each moves to NIST's historical list and stops being valid for new procurement. Answers 'what expires before date X' and 'which vendors are about to have nothing valid'. A certificate listed here may already have a 140-3 successor: check fips_search for the same module name before reporting a gap.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 50, 'maximum': 200, 'minimum': 1}, 'before': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'ISO date, exclusive: before=2026-09-21 excludes the 21st itself'}, 'vendor': {'type': 'string'}, 'standard': {'enum': ['140-1', '140-2', '140-3'], 'type': 'string'}}}
fips_vendor
Everything one company holds, grouped across the spelling variants NIST filed it under. Cisco alone appears as three different strings. Returns a breakdown by status and standard plus the certificates themselves. Note this groups spellings of one registration, not corporate families: the nShield line sits under nCipher, Thales and Entrust separately, because the product changed owner. Groups large enough to have their own page on the tracker carry a tracker_url alongside the per-certificate ones.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', '$schema': 'https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema', 'required': ['vendor'], 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 100, 'maximum': 500, 'minimum': 1}, 'vendor': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 2, 'description': 'Vendor name or part of one'}}}
