npm version License CI

Query 10 chemicals regulations across 5 jurisdictions (EU, US, UK, Korea, International) -- REACH, CLP, TSCA, GHS, RoHS, ELV, POPs, UK REACH, K-REACH, and 40 CFR 180 -- plus ECHA substance lists, pesticide MRLs, and cross-jurisdictional comparison tools.

Why This Exists

Chemicals compliance spans dozens of regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Whether you're:

• A compliance officer checking if a substance is SVHC-listed under REACH
• A regulatory affairs manager comparing MRL tolerances between US EPA and Codex
• A product engineer checking RoHS/ELV restrictions for electronics or vehicles
• A trade professional verifying pesticide tolerances for import/export

...you need a single interface that spans all frameworks. This MCP server provides 19 tools covering regulatory text lookup, substance status checks, MRL comparison, and cross-jurisdictional analysis.
