Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

regulatory

get_regulatory_change

Retrieve one record in full, including every revision observed since it was first seen. Use this to answer whether a document was amended after publication and what moved. The id comes from a search or recent result.

search_regulatory_changes

Search regulatory publications collected from financial regulators in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Use for questions about what a regulator has published on a topic, or what has changed in a date range. Returns the most recent matches first.

coverage

list_coverage

List every regulator and feed being monitored, with when each was last collected successfully and how fresh the data is. Use to answer what this connector covers, or to check whether a jurisdiction is being watched before relying on an absence of results.

recent

recent_regulatory_changes

List the most recent regulatory publications across all covered regulators, newest first. Use when asked what is new, what happened this week, or for a general catch up rather than a specific topic.

DAP Bellwether — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DAP Bellwether do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_regulatory_change, list_coverage, recent_regulatory_changes, search_regulatory_changes. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is DAP Bellwether working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 164 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect DAP Bellwether?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does DAP Bellwether need an API key?

No. DAP Bellwether completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is DAP Bellwether?

It answers our handshake in 164 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is DAP Bellwether open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
