AI Act Radar
EU AI Act obligations and updates from ten official sources, incl. the national layer.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http ai-act-radar 'https://mcp.aiactradar.com/mcp/v1' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer <your beta key>. Free during the beta, request one at https://aiactradar.com/#waitlist>'

aiactradar-examples
Reference webhook receivers for AI Act Radar. Each subdirectory is a self-contained, runnable example for one platform.
What every receiver does
- Reads the raw request body (signature is over the bytes, not the parsed JSON).
- Verifies
X-AIAR-Timestampis within 300 seconds of now. - Verifies
X-AIAR-Signature(v1=<hex>) using HMAC-SHA-256 over<timestamp>.<raw_body>in constant time. - Checks an idempotency key (
event.id) before doing real work — retries are normal. - Returns 2xx within 5 seconds; otherwise the dispatcher retries with exponential backoff.
The verification is identical across platforms; only the platform glue differs.
Examples
| Folder | Platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|
cloudflare-workers/ | Cloudflare Workers | Web Crypto API, KV for idempotency |
vercel-edge/ | Vercel Edge Functions | Web Crypto API, Vercel KV for idempotency |
aws-lambda/ | AWS Lambda + API Gateway | Node crypto module, DynamoDB for idempotency |
express-node/ | Plain Express on Node | Node crypto, in-process LRU (replace for prod) |
fastify-typescript/ | Fastify + TS | Typed body parser, raw-body capture |
deno-deploy/ | Deno Deploy | Deno KV for idempotency |
Try it without signing up
Each example has a test.sh that signs a sample event with a local secret and posts it to the running receiver. You can run the full loop on your laptop in under five minutes:
cd cloudflare-workers
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars # set AIA_SECRET to anything
npm install && npm run dev # starts http://localhost:8787
# in another terminal:
bash test.sh # posts a signed sample event
Going to production
- Store
AIA_SECRETin your platform's secret manager. Never commit it. - Rotate the secret in the AI Act Radar dashboard at least every 90 days.
- Subscribe to the dispatcher's webhook health channel — bounced deliveries surface there before customers notice.
- Idempotency stores need a TTL of at least 7 days; the dispatcher retries up to 24h.
