trustlists
Find public vendor trust centers, analyze SOC 2 reports, and request trust-center access.
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).
@trustlists/mcpclaude mcp add trustlists -- npx -y @trustlists/mcp@0.3.0{
"mcpServers": {
"trustlists": {
"command": "npx",

trustlists_ Plugin
Public vendor trust center tools for Cursor and Claude Code.
Find trust centers, analyze SOC 2 reports, and request vendor access without leaving your editor.
What it does
The trustlists_ plugin gives your AI assistant access to thousands of public company trust center records, local SOC 2 analysis, and SafeBase/Vanta access requests.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
trustlists_search | Search thousands of trust centers by name or domain | Free |
trustlists_lookup | Look up a single vendor by exact domain | Free |
trustlists_browse | Filter by platform, listed framework, or CSA STAR level | Free |
trustlists_audit_dependencies | Audit package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc. | Free |
trustlists_login / whoami / logout | Device-code sign-in (~/.trustlists/auth.json) | Free |
trustlists_soc2_analyze / status / report | Analyze local SOC 2 PDFs after a credit preview | Credits |
trustlists_requester_profile | Identity used on vendor access forms | Free |
trustlists_access_request / status / continue / request_batch | Request SafeBase or Vanta access (max 5 per batch) | Free (beta) |
Hosted endpoint (ChatGPT and other remote clients)
https://mcp.trustlists.org/mcp serves the same tools over Streamable HTTP after
an OAuth sign-in with a trustlists account (Google or Microsoft). Connecting the
app replaces trustlists_login and trustlists_logout. Because a hosted server
cannot read your disk, the dependency audit takes pasted manifest text, and SOC 2
PDFs are uploaded in the trustlists app via trustlists_soc2_upload.
Skills
The plugin ships with skills your AI assistant uses automatically:
- lookup-vendor - Find a vendor's trust center and listed frameworks
- audit-dependencies - Map project dependencies to public trust center records
- compliance-quick-check - Check whether a directory record lists a requested framework
- sign-in - Connect a trustlists account with a device code
- analyze-soc2 - Preview credits, then analyze a local SOC 2 PDF
- request-trust-center-access - Complete the requester profile and request access
Example usage
In Cursor or Claude Code, just ask:
"Look up Stripe's trust center"
"Audit my package.json for vendor security"
"Does Datadog's trust center list HIPAA information?"
The AI uses the plugin's tools to answer with current public trustlists data. A directory record is a discovery aid, not an audit, certification, endorsement, or security rating.
Quick Install (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code)

Pricing
The directory and audit tools are free and require no trustlists account. SOC 2 analysis and access requests use a device-code login on the local MCP.
- Free MCP tools - Search, lookup, browse, and dependency mapping
- Signed-in MCP tools - SOC 2 analysis (credits) and trust-center access requests
- Companion - The same account workflows in the browser at app.trustlists.org
