Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for U.S. federal regulatory intelligence: search Federal Register documents, track rulemaking timelines, deadlines and alerts.

What you can do
  • Search and read Federal Register documents (final rules, proposed rules, notices, presidential documents) with filters for agency, dates, CFR title and part, RIN, docket or industry
  • Inspect one document's full record, lifecycle timeline, deadlines and eCFR codified-text changes
  • Compare two documents or a proposed and final rule, with metadata and sentence-level text differences
  • Create and manage persistent watchlists that monitor the Federal Register and Public Inspection and queue alerts and deadline reminders
  • Read alerts, list upcoming comment and effective dates, and generate a source-linked intelligence brief for a document
  • Record relevance feedback and maintain an optional business…
When to use it
Useful for compliance, legal, policy or government-contracting work where someone needs to follow U.S. federal rulemaking, comment deadlines and effective dates without checking FederalRegister.gov by hand. The watchlist and alert tools make it worthwhile when ongoing monitoring matters, not just one-off lookups.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package or local runtime needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared, though tools refer to an account's watchlists and profile. Network access to the server, which draws on FederalRegister.gov, Public Inspection and eCFR data.
Before you install
Watchlists, alerts, business profile and relevance ratings are stored per account and change state; reading alerts marks them delivered unless peek is set. Business profile fields such as industries, NAICS codes and contractor status are sent to the service. Text comparisons are labeled partial and are not a legal redline, and briefs are built from source fields rather than legal advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open FedReg Tracker in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.agentstructure%2Ffedreg/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

search_federal_regulations

Search federal regulations

Search U.S. Federal Register documents (final rules, proposed rules, notices, presidential documents) live from FederalRegister.gov. Filter by keywords, agency, document type, publication/comment/effective dates, CFR title and part, RIN, docket or industry. Every result states its legal status (a proposed rule is never binding) and official links. No account needed.

Parametersrinpagelimitorderqueryagencycfr_partindustrycfr_titledocket_idsignificanteffective_to+6 more

get_regulatory_document

Get a Federal Register document

Full structured record for one Federal Register document: status, agencies, publication/comment/effective dates, RINs, dockets, CFR parts, official links, linked rulemakings, deadline history, any earlier Public Inspection filing, and (when configured) the Regulations.gov docket title, comment period and posted comment count. Also finds documents still on Public Inspection.

Parametersdocument_numberrequired

track_federal_regulations

Create a regulatory watchlist

Save a persistent watchlist. FedReg Tracker then monitors the Federal Register and Public Inspection on its own schedule and queues alerts and deadline reminders, with no chat open. Example: 'Track new cybersecurity regulations affecting federal contractors' → {name:'cyber-contractors', filters:{keywords:['cybersecurity'], cfr:[{title:48}]}}. Requires an access key.

Parametersnamefiltersrequiredalert_preferences

manage_regulatory_watchlist

List, update, pause, resume or delete watchlists

Manage this account's watchlists. action=list needs nothing else; other actions need watchlist (name or id). update accepts new filters, alert_preferences or new_name.

Parametersactionrequiredfiltersnew_namewatchlistalert_preferences

list_regulatory_alerts

List new regulatory alerts

New alerts for this account's watchlists, highest priority first: new publications, Public Inspection filings (labeled prepublication), deadline extensions, effective-date changes, withdrawals, corrections and deadline reminders. Reading marks them delivered unless peek=true. An empty list means nothing new.

Parameterspeeklimitstatuswatchlist

get_regulatory_timeline

Get a rulemaking timeline

Lifecycle of a rulemaking: proposed rule, comment periods, extensions, final rule, effective date, corrections and withdrawals, with observed events and deadline history. Give a RIN, a rulemaking_id or a document_number. Links are 'confirmed' (shared RIN) or 'probable' (shared docket); missing stages are never invented.

Parametersrinrulemaking_iddocument_number

get_regulatory_deadlines

Get comment and effective-date deadlines

Upcoming comment deadlines or effective dates from the documents' structured fields, filtered by date range, agency, keywords, or one of your watchlists. Dates are calendar dates as published.

Parameterstofromlimitqueryagencywatchlistdeadline_typedocument_type

compare_regulatory_documents

Compare proposed and final rules

Compare two Federal Register documents (or the latest proposed and final rule for a RIN): exact metadata differences plus sentence-level text differences with verbatim excerpts. Text comparison is labeled partial; it is not a legal redline.

Parametersrindocument_adocument_binclude_text

get_cfr_changes

Get codified CFR text changes

Changes to codified CFR text from the eCFR (ecfr.gov): which sections got a new version, when (version, amendment and eCFR issue dates), whether eCFR marks it substantive or removed, links to the eCFR page and XML for that date, and Federal Register documents that probably made the change. Parts in watchlists are checked daily; any other part is read on first request. Give cfr_title and cfr_part (or a section like 63.2), or a watchlist with CFR filters. Version metadata, not a text diff; the eCFR is not the official legal edition.

Parameterslimitsinceuntilsectioncfr_partcfr_titlewatchlist

get_regulatory_intelligence_brief

Get a regulatory intelligence brief

A structured, source-linked brief for one document: what happened, agency, status, who may be affected (from your watchlist when given), why it may matter, key dates, a suggested next step, sources, confidence and limitations. Built from source fields, not generated guesses.

Parameterswatchlistdocument_numberrequired

manage_business_profile

Set or read the business profile

Optional business profile used to suggest relevance: industries, NAICS codes, business size, regions, regulated activities, interests, federal contractor status. Give only what helps monitoring. action=get reads it.

Parametersactionindustriesnaics_codesbusiness_sizeoperating_regionsfederal_contractorregulated_activitiesregulatory_interests

rate_regulatory_alert

Give feedback on an alert

Tell FedReg Tracker how relevant a document was: relevant, not_relevant, high_priority, already_reviewed, more_like_this or stop_tracking (no more alerts for that document).
