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.

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 126 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 in the form 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 126 times in the last week. Week over week that is +68%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
