How to Set Up and Use NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment
The NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment Platform is an MCP server providing 40+ specialized tools that enable AI assistants to conduct comprehensive cybersecurity assessments aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. It covers all six CSF functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) through a repository of 740 assessment questions, maturity scoring, gap analysis, risk heat maps, implementation planning, cost estimation, and board-ready executive reporting. Security teams and consultants use it to run structured, AI-guided security posture evaluations and generate professional deliverables without manually navigating the full framework documentation.
Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed (recommended deployment method)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- Optional: AUTH_MODE and OAUTH_ISSUER environment variables for production deployments with authentication
- Git for cloning the repository
Clone the repository
Clone the NIST CSF 2.0 MCP server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/rocklambros/nist-csf-2-mcp-server.git
cd nist-csf-2-mcp-serverStart the assessment GUI (optional)
For a browser-based assessment interface with progress tracking, start the GUI platform using Docker Compose. The interface is available at http://localhost:3000.
cd gui-platform
docker-compose upConfigure Claude Desktop to use the MCP server
Add the NIST CSF MCP server to your claude_desktop_config.json. The server runs as a Docker container in MCP server mode.

"command": "sh",
"args": ["-c", "docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/rocklambros/nist-csf-2-mcp-server:latest node dist/index.js 2>/dev/null"],
"env": {
"MCP_SERVER": "true"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop
Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop so it connects to the newly registered NIST CSF server.
Start an assessment workflow
Ask Claude to initiate a NIST CSF 2.0 assessment. The workflow follows three phases: organization setup (about 2 minutes), function assessment across all six CSF domains (2-4 hours, resumable), and executive reporting (instant).

Example prompts for running a NIST CSF 2.0 assessment.
- "Start a NIST CSF 2.0 assessment for our organization — we are a mid-size healthcare company"
- "Assess our maturity level for the Protect function and score each subcategory"
- "Generate a gap analysis comparing our current state to a target maturity of level 3"
- "Create a prioritized implementation roadmap with effort and cost estimates"
- "Generate an executive summary report suitable for our board of directors"Troubleshooting NIST CSF 2.0 Assessment
Docker container fails to start or image not found
Run `docker pull ghcr.io/rocklambros/nist-csf-2-mcp-server:latest` manually to pre-fetch the image and verify Docker is running. Ensure you are logged in to GitHub Container Registry if the image is private.
Assessment session is lost after closing Claude Desktop
Use the `persistent_comprehensive_assessment` tool to resume a session. This tool stores progress state so you can continue a multi-hour assessment across multiple Claude Desktop sessions.
MCP server tools are not visible in Claude
Verify the MCP_SERVER environment variable is set to 'true' in your config and that Docker Desktop is running before starting Claude Desktop. The Docker daemon must be active for the container to launch.
