Questions

Short answers, with the provision each one rests on.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no key and no paywall, for the MCP server, the JSON API and RSS.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol over HTTP, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf, and anything that can fetch JSON or read RSS.

How current is it?

A new update is published most days. Handbook text comes from our mirror of the FCA Handbook API, last synced 12 October 2026.

Can my agent rely on the Handbook references?

Every reference is checked against the FCA Handbook before it is published: it must exist, carry the right type letter and, in posts, quote the provision's own text. The FCA's Handbook remains the authoritative version.
