Quick start
claude mcp add --transport http regulatory-intel https://regulatory.datakoot.com/mcp
Or point any MCP client at https://regulatory.datakoot.com/mcp.
Try it in 10 seconds — no key, no signup
Paste this into a terminal:
curl -s https://regulatory.datakoot.com/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "search_documents", "arguments": {"term": "artificial intelligence"}}}'
You get recent US Federal Register documents that mention artificial intelligence — no API key, nothing to sign up for.
Or point any MCP client at the URL and just ask your agent, in plain language:
- "What new federal regulations mention artificial intelligence?"
- "Show me the latest executive orders."

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
