Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Federal Regulations every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REGULATIONS_GOV_API_KEY (Free API key from api.regulations.gov — only needed for regulations.gov search tools. Federal Register and eCFR tools work without any key.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Federal Regulations — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Federal Regulations?

Federal Regulations runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package regulations-mcp was installed 43 times last week.

How do I connect Federal Regulations?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls regulations-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Federal Regulations?

The pypi package regulations-mcp was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is -10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
