Product concepts
Systems and Flows
Section titled “Systems and Flows”A System is the product boundary that owns validation workflows. A Flow is a versioned workflow definition that belongs to a System.
Runs, Reports, and Evidence
Section titled “Runs, Reports, and Evidence”A Run is an execution of an existing Flow. A Report is the output of a Run. An Evidence Bundle contains the evidence that supports the Report.
Runs are separate entities from Reports. A Run review is not a Release review.
MCP boundaries
Section titled “MCP boundaries”FidesLayer has two intentionally separate MCP services:
| Service | Endpoint | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Global/customer MCP | https://mcp.fideslayer.com/mcp |
Authenticated customer-agent access to approved product capabilities. |
| Docs-only MCP | https://docs.fideslayer.com/mcp |
Documentation search and retrieval only. |
The global/customer MCP is backed by fideslayer/mcp-gateway. The docs-only MCP is a separate service. Neither endpoint is an alias for the other.
The static docs site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Hosting the docs does not host or implement either MCP.
