Federal regulatory reference, now inside your preferred AI assistant.
A citation-first reference to the 1987 Corps Manual, every USACE Regional Supplement, and the 2025 National OHWM Manual — verbatim passages with page-anchored PDF links, no synthesis. And because it matters when the work gets done right, the same endpoint covers how to run your work in Ecobot: the workflow platform built in lockstep with federal wetland and stream policy and practice, with a free plan that includes the fully automated Antecedent Precipitation Tool (APT).
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the plug that lets an AI assistant pull answers from a specific source instead of guessing from its training data. Connect this one to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini and asking about a wetland or stream rule returns the actual paragraph from the manual, plus a link to the exact PDF page — no hallucinated citations, no paraphrase drift. It works inside the assistant you already use, so there's nothing new to learn.
We'll walk you through setup — pick your platformVerbatim
The exact regulatory text, not a summary or paraphrase.
Cited
Every quote returns a page-anchored PDF link, ready to hand to a district or QA reviewer.
Integrated
Answers arrive in the assistant you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini.
Private
Ecobot does not train on your prompts or retain them beyond what's needed to serve the request.
Because getting a rule wrong is what puts a permit at risk.

What are the wetland hydrology primary indicator rules in the Alaska regional supplement?
“One primary indicator from any group is sufficient to conclude that wetland hydrology is present; the area is a wetland if indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation are also present. In the absence of a primary indicator, two or more secondary indicators from any group are required to conclude that wetland hydrology is present.”
No summary, no paraphrase — the exact paragraph from the manual, with the page it came from.
