FedReg Tracker + Lindy: a weekly check for new rules on your topics, with the comment dates for your team

Comment periods are short and easy to miss. FedReg Tracker finds new proposed rules on your topics and their comment dates. Lindy can run a weekly agent that asks the tracker what is new and passes the dates to your team, who read the official notice before acting.

Key takeaways

The short version.

  • FedReg Tracker watches the Federal Register and Public Inspection for the topics you pick and links the official record on every result.
  • Lindy's documentation describes schedule triggers (for example weekly) and custom MCP servers added by their public HTTPS address, with a bearer token, custom header or query parameter as options.
  • Lindy runs the weekly check and passes on the result. FedReg Tracker supplies the documents and dates. Your team reads the official notice and decides.
  • Nothing here is a listing or built-in integration with Lindy. You add the address yourself. If you prefer, the tracker's own email alerts and reminders work without Lindy.
  • A proposed rule is not law, and nothing here is legal advice.

  • FedReg Tracker watches the U.S.

  • Lindy builds AI agents that run work automations.

It is for small teams that have a stake in a federal rule but no one whose job is to watch for new ones: compliance staff, trade association members, nonprofit staff, researchers and small business owners who share the work.

FedReg Tracker watches the U.S. Federal Register and Public Inspection. You tell it what to follow, such as an agency, a keyword or a part of the Code of Federal Regulations, and it reports new proposed rules, final rules, notices and comment deadlines, each with a link to the official record.

Lindy builds AI agents that run work automations. A weekly agent can ask the tracker what is new and tell the right people.

Use cases

4 ways people use FedReg Tracker + Lindy.

  1. Weekly agent

    1. A weekly check on your topics

    Lindy's documentation describes a schedule trigger that starts a workflow at a recurring time, such as weekly on Monday. Its routines page describes scheduled runs that are daily, weekly or monthly, and notes that a new routine defaults to 9:00 AM daily, so change it if you want weekly.

    Give the agent a plain instruction: ask FedReg Tracker for proposed rules on your topics that are open for comment, and list the title, the comment deadline and the official link.

  2. Team dates

    2. Comment dates for the whole team

    The useful output is a short list the team can act on: what is open, when comments close and where the official notice is. Ask the agent to put the soonest deadline first and to leave out anything it did not find in the tracker's results.

    Where the list goes depends on your setup. Lindy's routines page names chat, text, Slack and phone call channels and does not list email as a delivery channel. Sending an email from an agent depends on a mail account you connect, and that was not confirmed here, so test it first.

  3. Reminders

    3. Let the tracker's own reminders back you up

    The tracker keeps comment and effective dates as calendar dates and sends deadline reminders at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days. If a later notice extends a comment period, it records the extension and keeps the original date.

    So the weekly agent can be the team's overview while the reminders cover the individual dates. The notice's own DATES section is the final word.

  4. Ask anytime

    4. Ask a one-off question from the same agent

    Because Lindy can use the tools of a connected MCP server, you can also ask it before a meeting which proposed rules on a topic are open right now. Searching works without a key.

    A free key adds watchlists and alerts, so the tracker itself remembers what you follow.

How to

How do I set up the weekly check with Lindy?

  1. Step 1

    Open [fedregtracker.com](https://fedregtracker.com) and copy the MCP address, https://fedregtracker.com/mcp. For watchlists and alerts, sign up free to get an access key.

  2. Step 2

    In Lindy, open Integrations, choose + Add, then MCP. Enter the server URL and a display name. Under Advanced, add the key as an Authorization bearer token, then click Connect.

  3. Step 3

    Under Guardrails choose Ask for approval if you want a check before tools run, and turn off any tool you do not need.

  4. Step 4

    Create an agent with a weekly schedule trigger and the instruction to list new proposals with comment dates. Run a dry run first, then pick where the result goes.

Lindy describes custom MCP servers in its documentation, which says a hosted server needs a public HTTPS address and does not say which plans include it. Menus can change, so follow that page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is FedReg Tracker an official Lindy integration?

No. There is no partnership or built-in integration. Lindy lets you add a custom MCP server by its address, and you add the app's address yourself. The app is an AgentStructure.AI app.

Can Lindy email my team the dates?

That was not confirmed. Lindy's routines page does not list email as a delivery channel, and sending mail depends on an account you connect. The tracker's own free email alerts can be forwarded to your team today.

What does it cost?

The apps are free during the beta. Lindy has its own plans and credits, so check its pricing page. Credits are used when Lindy is working, so a weekly run uses some.

Will it catch every federal action?

Not with a guarantee. Monitoring runs on a schedule, and the app covers U.S. federal rules from the Federal Register and Public Inspection only, with no state, local or foreign rules.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is regulatory information and does not replace qualified legal or compliance professionals. Each result links the official record, and the notice is the source for every date.
