Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 9 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Tracking federal regulations used to be a manual nightmare.

Before this MCP, tracking regulatory changes meant navigating dozens of separate government websites. You’d start by finding the agency, clicking into their specific rule section, manually applying date filters, and then cross-referencing document IDs across multiple tabs just to build a basic compliance timeline.

Now, you simply ask your agent. It uses the MCP's tools to search through millions of records automatically. You get structured data—the full details of rules or notices—returned immediately so you can focus on analysis, not navigation.

You get immediate visibility into all pending federal filings using `get_current_public_inspection`.

The old way meant relying on published notices which only covered rules that had cleared the system. You could miss critical, unreleased documents entirely, creating compliance blind spots until months later.

With this MCP, you can check the 'Public Inspection' desk directly. This gives you real-time visibility into what is scheduled for publication, letting you react to pending changes before they even become official.

What your AI can actually do with this

The Federal Register tracks every rule change, notice, and proposed regulation from federal agencies. Instead of manually filtering through massive online databases, you connect your AI agent to this MCP. Your agent uses natural language to navigate the entire archive—everything published since 1994. Need to find a specific industry's compliance changes? Ask for them.

Want to see what documents are currently awaiting review before they hit print? The tool gets that list. It also lets you check agency profiles, giving you an overview of their recent regulatory activity and contact info. If your workflow relies on interpreting complex government data, connecting this MCP through the Vinkius catalog is a fast way to get started.

Questions you might have

How do I search for rules from a specific agency using `search_documents`? +

You must provide the agency's slug and use filters within your prompt. The system searches across millions of documents, letting you zero in on specific topics or timeframes.

Is there a way to see what documents are pending publication? Use `get_current_public_inspection`. +

Yes. Running the get_current_public_inspection tool shows you everything currently listed on the inspection desk, so you know what's next.

What if I only have a document ID? Can I use `get_document`? +

Absolutely. If you have an exact identifier, running get_document pulls all the necessary publication dates, page ranges, and contact info for that specific record.

How do I find out which agencies are covered? Use the `list_agencies` tool. +

The list_agencies tool provides a complete directory of all federal agencies available in the MCP, giving you a definitive scope for your research.

How do I fetch a batch of published rules using `get_multiple_documents`? +

It retrieves several documents at once. You provide the IDs or criteria, and it returns an array of full document metadata records. This is useful for compiling reports quickly without calling get_document repeatedly.

What if I need to check public inspection status from a specific date? Use `get_public_inspection_by_date`. +

It gets documents that were filed on that exact day. Just input the desired date, and it pulls all records scheduled for publication then. This helps track historical filing patterns or compliance deadlines.

How do I get detailed profile information about one specific agency? Use `get_agency`. +

It fetches the complete profile using the agency's slug. You receive metadata like contact info and a history of their recent regulatory activity. This is faster than listing all agencies just to find one detail.

Can I search for pending rules on a specific topic or keyword? Use `search_public_inspection`. +

Yes, you can filter the public inspection list by keywords or other criteria. This lets you track potential regulations before they are finalized and published anywhere else in the register.

How do I find documents from a specific agency like the FDA? +

First, use the list_agencies tool to find the correct agency slug or ID. Then, use the search_documents tool and provide that slug in the agencies parameter to filter results.

Can I see documents before they are officially published in the daily register? +

Yes! Use the search_public_inspection or get_current_public_inspection tools. These access the 'Public Inspection' desk, which contains documents filed for public review before their formal publication date.

Is it possible to search for documents related to a specific Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)? +

Absolutely. Use the search_documents tool and provide the rin parameter. This will return all published documents associated with that specific regulatory action.
