@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@ARL-CMS MCP Server Check compliance for export documentation under Bangladesh law"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
ARL-CMS MCP Server
Exposes the AKIJ Resources Compliance Management System knowledge base to MCP clients (opencode, Claude, etc.) over stdio JSON-RPC 2.0.
Data served (self-contained, bundled in data/)
Data | Content |
| 584 compliance requirements — 80 domains, 11 categories, 13 fields each (what it is, why, minimum requirements, evidence, pass criteria, non-compliance triggers, owner) |
| 584 quick index rows (name, domain, category, applicability, owner) |
| 2,612 Bangladesh legal risks (SBU, area, scenario, legal basis, penalty, level: Critical 340 / High 1,016 / Medium 881 / Low 375) |
| 55 ERP document types → Tier1 internal policy / Tier2 BD law / Tier3 global standard + owner |
| 42 ERP business documents (schema/table + process + tax flag) |
| 79 Bangladesh acts / rules + official bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd links |

Resolution rule (3-tier, strict order)
TIER 1 — Internal ARL policy/SOP/manual library (primary source)
TIER 2 — Bangladesh law (risk register + bdlaws portal) — mandatory floor
TIER 3 — Global standard (584-requirement catalog)
Every "not found" at an earlier tier is reported as a coverage gap before moving on. Bangladesh law is non-negotiable and governs even if an internal document is silent or weaker. Evidence before verdict: no evidence = NOT DEMONSTRATED, not COMPLIANT.

Run
node server-arl-cms.jsEnvironment variables:
ARL_CMS_DRIVE_FOLDER— override the Tier-1 policy library Drive folder id (default1F_OGk1yzP_nf_TD8NbInJOpS-MYLR3xX)ARL_CMS_DMS_TREE— path to the ARL-DMStree.json(Hybrid integration). When set,cms_search_policy/ Tier-1 resolution searches the shared 14,535-entry DMS index and returns real documents (name, path, drive id, url, source). Default lookup order: env → sibling../arl-dms/data/tree.json→ bundleddata/dms-tree.json→ skill library paths.ARL_CMS_DRIVE_FOLDER— fallback live-Drive root when no shared index found.
Notes
Read-only by design. Bundles the catalog data; no external DB required.
Hybrid integration (Option 5): the CMS MCP reads the shared ARL-DMS index for Tier-1 document search; document text/OCR is fetched via the ARL-DMS MCP (
dms_fetch). The ARL-CMS skill and ARL-DMS skill document this cross-reference.Shareable as a single npm package (
.tgz) vianpx -y <github-release-url>.

Scored across 11 tools
Most tools target distinct resources, but the set has several adjacent compliance/coverage tools: cms_check_compliance, cms_document_compliance, cms_coverage_scan, and cms_gap_report overlap in scope. Detailed descriptions help, but an agent could still misselect between general compliance checking, document-type compliance mapping, and coverage/gap reporting.
All tools share the cms_ prefix and snake_case, which keeps them readable. However, the convention is mixed: some use verb_noun (cms_get_requirement, cms_list_requirements, cms_check_compliance), while others are noun phrases (cms_risk_lookup, cms_document_compliance, cms_gap_report).
Eleven tools is well within the appropriate range for a compliance knowledge/resolution server. Each tool appears to cover a distinct query, lookup, or reporting need, and none feels redundant enough to remove without losing a capability.
The surface covers requirements lookup, policy search, Bangladesh law references, risk lookup, ERP document mapping, coverage scanning, and gap reporting, which is broad for a read-only compliance assistant. Minor gaps remain, such as no direct document/law text retrieval and no write/update lifecycle for requirements or risk records.
