Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations including FAR, DFARS, and agency supplements. 13 tools.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • compare_versions

    Compare the text of a CFR section at two different dates. Useful for understanding what changed in a regulatory amendment. Returns 'changes' (each paragraph that was added, removed or changed, with its before and after text; also heading, table and pending-amendment-link changes)

  • find_far_definition

    Find a term's definition in FAR 2.101, the FAR's main definitions section. Returns each matching definition whole (the defining paragraph and every sub-paragraph under it), first, marked kind='definition'. Matching ignores case, hyphens, spacing, plurals, a trailing "means", and

  • find_recent_changes

    Find CFR sections changed since a given date, removals included. Built on eCFR's version history: every version issued on or after since_date, newest first. Each change says whether the section was amended, removed (change='removed'), or re-issued with no text change (substantive

  • get_ancestry

    Get the breadcrumb hierarchy path for a section, part, or appendix. Returns ancestors from title down to the target node: title > chapter > subchapter > part > subpart > section. Useful for understanding where a section sits in the CFR hierarchy and what regulation it belongs to.

  • get_cfr_content

    Get the full text of a CFR section, subpart, part, or appendix. Returns parsed clean text by default: heading, paragraphs and citations, plus tables, notes, examples, images, pending_amendments and editorial_notes when present. Tables, notes and examples are numbered, and a marke

  • get_cfr_structure

    Get the hierarchical table of contents for a CFR title or subset. Returns a nested tree of titles, chapters, parts, subparts, and sections with identifiers, descriptions, and byte sizes, plus the date it describes. IMPORTANT: Does NOT support section-level filtering (returns 400)

  • get_corrections

    Get editorial corrections for a CFR title, newest first. Returns corrections with CFR references, corrective actions, error dates, and FR citations, sorted by the date the error was corrected, newest first. Useful for checking whether a section's current text has been corrected s

  • get_latest_date

    Get the most recent available date for a CFR title. CRITICAL: eCFR lags 1-2 business days behind the Federal Register. Using today's date on versioner endpoints causes 404 errors. Call this first to get the safe date, then pass it to other tools. Default title 48 = Federal Acquis

  • get_version_history

    Get the version history of a CFR section, subpart, or part. Returns content_versions (each with date, amendment_date, issue_date, identifier, name, substantive and removed), every version eCFR lists: all of eCFR's pages are read, so Part 52's 2,264 versions are all there. Version

  • list_agencies

    List all agencies with their CFR title and chapter references. Returns agency names, slugs, and which CFR titles/chapters they own. Useful for finding which chapter corresponds to an agency's FAR supplement. summary_only (default True) strips the `children` and most of `cfr_refer

  • list_sections_in_part

    List all sections and appendices in a CFR part with their headings. Returns 'sections' in order, each {identifier, heading}, with type='appendix' on appendices (2 CFR 200's Appendix I-XII, for example) and reserved=true on reserved sections, plus 'subparts' (each with its heading

  • lookup_far_clause

    Convenience tool: look up the current text of a FAR, DFARS or FAR supplement section or clause. Pass a section identifier like '15.305', '52.212-4', '2.101', 'DFARS 252.204-7012' or '552.238-81'. The chapter comes from the number (52.x = FAR, 252.x = DFARS, 552.x = GSAR, 852.x =

  • search_cfr

    Full-text search across the Code of Federal Regulations. Returns matching sections with excerpts, headings, scores, and hierarchy. current_only=True (default) returns only text in effect now. eCFR's own "current" index still lists some superseded and removed versions, so each hit

Common questions

Is eCFR safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.15) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Zendesk
