Overview

What is eRegulations MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides structured, AI-friendly access to eRegulations API data. It enables AI models to answer user questions about administrative procedures by querying procedures, steps, requirements, and costs from eRegulations instances.

How to use eRegulations MCP Server?

Run the server with Docker, setting the required environment variable EREGULATIONS_API_URL to the target eRegulations API base URL. The server listens for MCP JSON requests on standard input and sends responses to standard output. Alternatively, install via Smithery (preferred) or use the now-deprecated npx command.

FAQ from eRegulations MCP Server

What configuration is required to run the server?

You must set the EREGULATIONS_API_URL environment variable to the base URL of the eRegulations API you wish to connect to (e.g., https://api-tanzania.tradeportal.org).

How is the server typically deployed?

The recommended method is using a published Docker image from GitHub Container Registry (GHCR). The npm-based npx method is deprecated due to potential environment inconsistencies.

What tools does the server provide?

It provides four tools: listProcedures, getProcedureDetails, getProcedureStep, and searchProcedures. Each accepts parameters like procedureId, stepId, or keyword.

What are MCP prompt templates and why are they useful?

The server includes prompt templates that guide LLMs in using the available tools correctly. Client applications that support MCP prompt templates automatically receive these instructions, improving the AI’s ability to interact with the eRegulations API.

Does the server have any known limitations regarding search?

The searchProcedures tool currently searches related objectives based on the underlying API and may include results beyond direct procedure names.
