Key takeaways
The short version.

- Manus accepts custom MCP servers by HTTPS address and credentials, and its Automations can run a task on a schedule or when an event happens in a connected app.
- Nothing here is an official listing, partnership or built-in integration with Manus. The MCP connection described below was not tested.

FedReg Tracker watches the U.S.
The tracker finds the rule and the date.
It is for people with a stake in a federal rule and little time to read it: small business owners, compliance staff, trade association members, nonprofit staff, researchers and citizens who follow a topic.
FedReg Tracker watches the U.S. Federal Register and Public Inspection. You pick 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. Manus works as an agent: you give it a task and it carries the work out in its own sandbox.
The tracker finds the rule and the date. Manus can read the rule and write the first draft of a summary or an outline.
Use cases
4 ways people use FedReg Tracker + Manus.
- Plain summaryPlain summary
1. Get a plain summary of a new rule
When the tracker reports a new proposed rule, hand Manus the document and ask for a short summary in plain words: what the agency proposes, who it says is affected and what happens next.
Ask it to quote the notice where it can and to mark anything unclear as unknown. The summary is a map. The official document is the source.
- Comment outlineComment outline
2. Draft a comment outline to edit
Tell Manus who you are and how the rule would affect you, in your own terms, and ask for an outline of a comment: the points to raise, in order, and the questions the agency asks the public.
The outline is a starting point. Rewrite it with your real experience, correct anything untrue and submit it yourself on regulations.gov or through the channel the notice names. Do not let an assistant invent facts or figures for you.
- Deadline checkDeadline check
3. Check the deadline before you plan
The tracker keeps comment and effective dates as calendar dates and sends reminders at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days. Ask Manus to put the dates for several open rules in one table, with the official link beside each.
The notice's own DATES section is the final word. Confirm every deadline on the official notice.
- Weekly digestWeekly digest
4. Get a weekly digest on a schedule
Manus Automations can run work on a schedule or when an event happens in a connected app. Set one for Monday morning and describe the result: a short digest of the rules that opened for comment that week, with dates in order.
Run a test first, and check the first few digests against the official notices.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is FedReg Tracker an official Manus integration?
No. There is no partnership or built-in integration. Manus lets you add a custom MCP server by its address, and you add the app's address yourself. The connection was not tested.
What if the MCP connection does not work?
Use the fallback. Paste the rule's Federal Register link into a Manus task and ask for a plain summary or a comment outline.
Can it submit my comment for me?
No. The app reports documents and dates. Manus can draft an outline, and you edit it and submit it yourself on regulations.gov or through the channel the notice names.
Is a proposed rule binding?
No. A proposed rule is not law. The app labels each document as proposed, final or a Public Inspection filing not yet published, and those filings can still change or be withdrawn.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is regulatory information and does not replace qualified legal or compliance professionals. Confirm every deadline on the official notice.
