Automated Policy Generation just got its MCP debut
Say hello to Making Compliance Programmatic. See what I did there?
With the new generatePolicy MCP tool, you can now automate policy generation end-to-end, and it uses the exact same Vanta agent intelligence under the hood, so the output is consistent with what you'd get directly in the platform. No separate implementation needed.
hey Esmeralda O. forgive me for not making that clearer! Thank you for the follow up.
to begin, has your team connected to Vanta's MCP server? that will need to be done first, followed by authentication (admins have the ability to set up mcp). Then once connected, generatePolicy becomes available as a callable tool. Here are direct instructions for connecting to Vanta MCP; do you know if your team was already connected? Or do they need to set that up?
Will give this a try sometime. What I'd like to see in case it's not there yet is be able to match current controls or policies against a framework and have MPC point out anything missing or requiring an update. Jacob G. does it do that now?
hey Glenn G.! great question. not quite yet; generatePolicy is focused on creating policy content rather than analyzing gaps. but I like the way youre thinking about this because the team is building for that eventually. no timeline yet that I can see, but will keep you (and the Community) up to speed as I learn more!
