Compliance Oracle: a free MCP tool

Compliance Oracle lets an AI app look up food license facts. It uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), a common way for AI apps to call tools. It is free and read-only. You don't need to sign up or get a key.

How to connect

In Claude Desktop, Cursor or another app that supports MCP, add a remote server with this web address:

https://www.reg-bot.ai/api/mcp

You can also send a header named X-MCP-Client-Idwith your app's name. It is not required. It gives your app its own limit. Without it, the limit is shared by everyone on your network.

To try it from a terminal:

curl -s https://www.reg-bot.ai/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"next_renewal_date","arguments":{"state":"MI"}}}'

What it returns

lookup_florida_license

You give: A Florida license number, or a business name plus a 5-digit zip code.

You get: The license status, expiry date, license type and business address from Florida DBPR records.

get_state_food_rules

You give: A 2-letter state code, and if you like a business type (for example "food truck").

You get: Food license rules we checked against the full official page: agency, how often you renew, fee, late fee and an official link.

next_renewal_date

You give: A Florida license number, or a state (plus city and business type if you have them).

You get: The real DBPR expiry date, or the next fixed yearly deadline when a state or city has one.

Every answer has a link to the official source and a link to RegPulse. We never guess. If we have not checked a rule against the full official page, the answer says to check with the local health department.

Limits

Each app can make 30 calls a minute and 1,000 calls a day. If you go over, you get error 429 and a "Retry-After" time to wait.

Florida food license data

This part is for license-check, insurance and verification teams.

We hold about 69,900 Florida food service license records. They come from the public files of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). They cover restaurants, food trucks (mobile food dispensing vehicles), caterers, vending machines and temporary event vendors.

We check DBPR's files every day. DBPR updates its files about once a week, so a record can be up to a week behind. Always confirm important results with DBPR. You can see when we last checked at /api/data-freshness.

Each record can include:

License number
Business name and licensee name
License type (for example restaurant, food truck, caterer)
Status
Expiry date
Street, city, zip and county
The date we last saw the record

We do not share phone numbers or mailing addresses. Right now we only hold license records for Florida.

You can look up single licenses for free with the lookup_florida_license tool above. If you need something more, tell us what you need and we will reply.
