BankRegPulse MCP Server

BankRegPulse MCP Server

Real-time banking regulatory intelligence for AI assistants

Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to live banking regulatory data from 100+ sources including OCC, FDIC, CFPB, Federal Reserve, and all 50 state banking departments.

What is This?

BankRegPulse MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants query our regulatory intelligence database in real-time.

Instead of manually searching for regulatory updates, just ask your AI:

• "What's in today's banking regulatory briefing?"
• "Play today's regulatory podcast"
• "Draft a LinkedIn post about today's CFPB updates"

Your AI will pull fresh data from BankRegPulse and answer with context.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• An MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Continue.dev, etc.)

Option 1: NPM (Recommended)

npx bankregpulse-mcp-server

Option 2: From Source

git clone https://github.com/RRGU26/bankregpulse-mcp-server.git
cd bankregpulse-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Setup for Claude Desktop

1. Locate Claude Desktop config:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add BankRegPulse MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankregpulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["bankregpulse-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

4. Test it:

   • Open Claude Desktop
   • Ask: "What's in today's banking regulatory briefing?"
   • Claude will query the MCP server and return live data

Setup for Other AI Assistants

Continue.dev (VS Code)

Add to ~/.continue/config.json:

{
  "experimental": {
    "modelContextProtocolServers": [
      {
        "transport": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["bankregpulse-mcp-server"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Custom Integration

Any MCP-compatible client can connect via stdio:

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js';

const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: 'npx',
  args: ['bankregpulse-mcp-server']
});

const client = new Client({
  name: 'my-client',
  version: '1.0.0'
}, {
  capabilities: {}
});

await client.connect(transport);

HTTP/SSE Mode

Run the MCP server as an HTTP endpoint instead of stdio:

# Set environment variable
export MCP_TRANSPORT=http
export PORT=3000  # optional, defaults to 3000

# Run server
npx bankregpulse-mcp-server

Endpoints:

• GET /health - Health check
• GET /sse - SSE endpoint for MCP connections

Connect via HTTP:

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { SSEClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/sse.js';

const transport = new SSEClientTransport(
  new URL('http://localhost:3000/sse')
);

const client = new Client({
  name: 'my-client',
  version: '1.0.0'
}, {
  capabilities: {}
});

await client.connect(transport);

Test with curl:

# Health check
curl http://localhost:3000/health

# SSE connection (requires MCP client)
curl -N http://localhost:3000/sse
