Frequently asked questions
How can I filter documents by a specific government agency?
Use the search_documents tool and provide the agencyId parameter (e.g., 'EPA', 'FAA', or 'CMS'). This will restrict the results to materials published only by that specific agency.
Is it possible to see what the public is saying about a specific rule?
Yes! Use the search_comments tool with the commentOnId parameter set to the unique Document ID. You can then use get_comment with a specific Comment ID to read the full text of any submission.
How do I get the complete history of a specific rulemaking folder?
Use the get_docket tool with the specific Docket ID. This retrieves the primary metadata for the docket, while search_documents with the same docket ID can list all associated rules and supporting materials.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
