Regulations.gov

Overview

Regulations.gov is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Regulations.gov rulemaking dockets, documents, public comments. 8 tools. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Regulations.gov's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.

It runs locally: the Python package regulationsgov-mcp (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need REGULATIONS_GOV_API_KEY. The current release is v0.2.5, published under the MIT license, with source at 1102tools/federal-contracting-mcps on GitHub, where it has earned 20 stars.

Regulations.gov is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
