Search the Federal Register: rules, notices, executive orders, comment deadlines, FAR cases.
Fedregister's local MCP server; no sign-in required; STDIO; 8 tools.
No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

The Federal Register is where the United States government publishes what it is about to do and what it has done: final rules, proposed rules open for public comment, notices, and presidential documents. fedregister wraps the Register's public API v1 in a small CLI and a stdio MCP server, so a person — or an agent — can search that record, watch comment deadlines, and pull the history of a rulemaking without scraping web pages. The API is public and keyless; no account or token is needed.
What the eight tools do:
search_documents — search everything published since
1994. Flat arguments (term, document types, agencies,
docket id, regulation id number, CFR title/part, sections,
topics, significance, publication and effective date
bounds, paging, ordering, field selection) are translated
into the API's conditions[...] query parameters.get_document — fetch one document by its document
number.get_documents_batch — fetch up to 20 documents in a
single call.get_facet_counts — counts of matching documents grouped
by a facet: a document field such as type, agency, or
topic, or a time bucket from daily through yearly.get_public_inspection — search the pre-publication
filings currently on public inspection, including the
available_on date and the special_filing flag.list_agencies — every agency that publishes in the
Register.open_comment_periods — a labelled composition: it pages
through recent documents (a scan window reaching 120 days
back, at most 5 pages of 1000), keeps the ones whose
comment period is still open, and returns them sorted by
deadline as {results, complete, truncated}, where
complete says whether the whole scan window was read
and truncated whether the limit (default 50) cut the
list.far_case_history — a labelled composition: the full
document history of a FAR/DFARS case, searched by case
number in chronological order, from the proposed rule
through the final rule.Two behaviours are worth knowing about:
search_documents' optional comment_date_gte /
comment_date_lte arguments are applied locally, after
the response arrives: documents whose comments_close_on
is null or outside the range are dropped from the
returned page, and the rest of the response envelope is
returned unchanged. Every other search result is the
upstream JSON verbatim.Retry-After
interval (60 seconds by default) and retries the same
request once before reporting an error.The API base URL defaults to
https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1 and can be
overridden with the FEDERAL_REGISTER_API_BASE
environment variable.
Each tool is a subcommand taking one JSON argument string
(list_agencies takes none):
Output is the tool's result text (the upstream JSON, or a
composition's JSON). Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on a
runtime error (including a validation or upstream failure),
2 on a usage error.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
