Structured, queryable US AI and privacy law data via Model Context Protocol (MCP).
AI Regulations MCP (ai-reg-mcp) is an MCP server that provides Claude (and other MCP clients) with instant access to structured data about US AI regulations, privacy laws, and compliance requirements. No more searching through PDFs or legal websites — get precise regulatory information through natural language queries.
- 15 curated AI/privacy laws including Colorado AI Act, EU AI Act, California ADMT, NYC LL-144, and more
- 136 structured compliance obligations with plain-language explanations
- 66 tracked regulatory changes with dates and impact descriptions
- Natural language jurisdiction queries (e.g., "Colorado" or "CO" both work)
- Cross-jurisdictional comparisons to find the most restrictive requirements
- Zero native dependencies — works on all platforms

}You should see the MCP server connected. Now ask Claude about AI regulations.
Once connected, you can ask Claude questions like:
- "What are the transparency requirements in Colorado's AI Act?"
- "Compare disclosure requirements across Colorado, California, and NYC"
- "What are the deadlines for compliance with the EU AI Act?"
- "Show me recent changes to AI regulations since 2025"
- "What obligations apply to AI deployers in California?"
Search for laws by jurisdiction, keyword, status, or effective date.
Get detailed compliance obligations from specific laws.
Compare requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
