**Open-source GRC platform for engineers.**
|
|
|
|
Probo is a self-hostable governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform built for engineering and security teams. It covers the full GRC lifecycle: risk identification, control tracking, vendor risk, data privacy, access reviews, audit programs, and document approval workflows. Every entity is accessible through a web console, a CLI, a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) API, and a GraphQL API, so you can automate compliance work from code, scripts, or any LLM agent.
|
|
|
|
## Why Probo?
|
|
|
|
- **AI-native by design.** 270+ MCP tools expose every entity and operation. Any MCP-compatible LLM agent can read and write your GRC data, draft policies, run risk assessments, and generate evidence packs.
|
|
- **Full GRC coverage.** Risk management, controls, vendor risk, data privacy (DPIA/TIA), access reviews, audit programs.
|
|
- **Multiple interfaces.** Web console, `prb` CLI (44+ command groups), MCP API, GraphQL, and an n8n community node for no-code automation.
|
|
- **Open source and self-hostable.** ISC licensed. Run it on your own infrastructure with Docker.
|
|
- **Audit-ready.** Policy-based RBAC, immutable audit logs, electronic document sign-off workflows, and evidence chains.
|
|
|

## Interfaces
|
|
|
|
### Web console
|
|
|
|
The primary interface for day-to-day GRC work. Runs at `http://localhost:8080` in development.
|
|
|
|
### CLI (`prb`)
|
|
|
|
A fully-featured command-line client for scripting, automation, and CI/CD integration. Covers all 44+ resource types available in the web console.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Authenticate
|
|
prb auth login
|
|
|
|
# List open risks
|
|
prb risk list
|
|
|
|
# Create a measure and link evidence
|
|
prb measure create --name "MFA enforced on all production systems"
|
|
prb evidence create --measure <id> --file screenshot.png
|
|
|
|
# Manage vendor compliance
|
|
prb thirdpartymgmt vendor list
|
|
prb thirdpartymgmt risk-assessment create --vendor <id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `prb help` for the full command reference.
|
|
|
|
### MCP API
|
|
|
|
Probo exposes 270+ [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) tools covering every entity and operation in the platform. Any MCP-compatible LLM agent (Claude, Cursor, Continue, and others) can connect directly and interact with your compliance data.
|
|
|
|
The full MCP specification is at [`pkg/server/api/mcp/v1/specification.yaml`](pkg/server/api/mcp/v1/specification.yaml).
|
|
|
|
### n8n node
|
|
|
|
The [`@probo/n8n-nodes-probo`](packages/n8n-node/) community node brings Probo into n8n workflows for no-code automation of compliance tasks over the GraphQL API.
