Tools

ToolDescription
sec_regulationGet the full text of one SEC regulation — a US securities regulation codified in 17 CFR (SEC and CFTC) — by its citation or common rule name. Returns the exact regulatory wording currently in force. Answers "what does SEC Rule 10b-5 require", "what is the SEC regulation for X", "read 17 CFR 240.10b-5", "what does Regulation S-K item 303 say", "the SEC disclosure requirement for X". Forgiving input: "240.10b-5", "17 CFR 240.10b-5", "§ 229.303", "230.506(b)" (paragraph stripped to the section), "240.15l-1", "part 240". Common rule names resolve automatically: "Rule 10b-5" -> 240.10b-5, "Rule 10b5-1", "Rule 144", "Rule 506", "Rule 15c3-1" (net capital), "Regulation S-K" -> part 229, "Regulation S-X" -> part 210, "Reg FD" -> 243.100, "Reg NMS" -> part 242, "Reg SHO", "Reg D", "Reg A", "Reg S", "Regulation BI" -> 240.15l-1, "Form ADV" / Investment Advisers Act rules -> part 275, "Rule 206(4)-7". Covers securities regulation across all of Title 17: registration and offerings, disclosure requirements, insider trading, proxy rules, broker-dealer obligations, investment advisers, market structure, and CFTC commodity and derivatives regulation. Pass a whole part (e.g. "229" or "part 240") to get that part's section list. Example: sec_regulation({ citation: "240.10b-5" }) -> employment of manipulative and deceptive devices; sec_regulation({ citation: "Rule 10b-5" }) -> same section via the rule name. Keyless. This pack is the SEC RULES text; the separate edgar and sec-xbrl packs serve SEC filings data (company filings, XBRL financials).
sec_regulations_searchKeyword search across the SEC regulations — US securities regulation in 17 CFR (SEC and CFTC). Answers "what SEC regulations cover X", "the SEC rule about X", "find the securities regulation for X", "which disclosure requirement applies to X", "the CFTC regulation on X". Great for topics: insider trading and material nonpublic information, disclosure requirements and MD&A, registration statements and exempt offerings, private placements and accredited investors, proxy solicitations and shareholder proposals, broker-dealer net capital and customer protection, investment adviser fiduciary duty and custody, market structure and short sales, tender offers, beneficial ownership reporting, swaps and commodity futures. Returns matching securities rules with citation (17 CFR), heading, excerpt, and source URL. Example: sec_regulations_search({ query: "insider trading" }); sec_regulations_search({ query: "accredited investor definition", limit: 15 }). Keyless. Searches the SEC RULES text; the separate edgar and sec-xbrl packs search SEC filings data.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-regulations": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sec-regulations/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sec-regulations/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1866+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/sec_regulation \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"citation":"240.10b-5"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/sec_regulation. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-sec-regulations is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sec-regulations/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-regulations": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-sec-regulations"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Sec Regulations data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
