Perplexity

Track Active Reactor Incidents

The `get_nrc_rss_feed` tool pulls live event notifications and operational status reports directly from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Your AI client parses these updates immediately, alerting you to abnormal reactor trips or emergency declarations without requiring you to manually refresh government sites. This setup turns your chat interface into a live monitoring station. You get immediate access to public safety declarations and regulatory announcements the second the NRC publishes them to their syndication feeds.

Query the Legacy Document Database

The `search_adams_legacy` tool queries the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System using the legacy WBA API. It handles the complex filtering logic required by the government database, allowing your agent to locate specific historical inspection reports or plant license amendments. Because the legacy API retires in June 2026, this MCP Server acts as an abstraction layer. You write plain English queries, and the server translates them into the precise filter syntax needed to extract PDFs and regulatory correspondence.

Build Local Compliance Records

The `get_nrc_rss_feed` tool retrieves official news releases and policy updates for local storage. Running this MCP Server locally on Claude Desktop lets you pipe these updates directly into your local workspace files to maintain a continuous regulatory log. This local integration ensures your compliance team has immediate access to critical safety updates. You bypass slow web interfaces and automate the collection of safety data directly on your machine.

Common questions about NRC ADAMS (Nuclear Regulatory) MCP in Claude Desktop

You configure the MCP Server in your local `claude_desktop_config.json` file under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, a hammer icon appears in your chat, allowing you to search documents or fetch feeds using natural language.

Yes, the server translates your simple text prompts into the structured JSON filters required by the legacy WBA API. You do not need to learn the complex query syntax yourself.

The MCP Server handles the legacy connection until the June 2026 retirement date. Vinkius manages updates to the underlying endpoint, so your workflows in Claude Desktop will continue to function without manual reconfiguration.

The tool fetches data instantly upon request. It queries the live NRC feeds directly, ensuring your agent receives the latest safety declarations within seconds of publication.

No, all queries run through an ephemeral V8 sandbox that processes requests in isolation. The server only reads public documents and reactor status reports from the official NRC database, meaning your local chat history and proprietary parameters are never stored or shared.
