Connects Claude to the federal Regulations.gov API for querying dockets and public comments. You get two tools: get_docket pulls metadata and summary counts for a specific docket ID like "EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317", and get_comment retrieves full comment text, submitter info, and attachments by comment ID. Runs through Pipeworx's MCP gateway as a streamable HTTP endpoint, so no API key setup needed on your end. Useful when you're researching regulatory proceedings, analyzing public feedback on proposed rules, or building workflows that need programmatic access to federal rulemaking data without wrestling with the raw gov API.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"regulations-gov": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/regulations-gov/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Regulations Gov data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
