Congressgov Mcp Server

A comprehensive wrapper around the Congress.gov REST API v3 that brings legislative data into your MCP workflow. You get ten read-only tools covering bills, votes, members, committees, nominations, CRS reports, and the daily Congressional Record, plus resources for current session info and bill type lookups. Built on the developer's mcp-ts-core framework with declarative tool definitions and pluggable auth. Runs stdio or streamable HTTP, and there's a public hosted instance at congressgov.caseyjhand.com if you want to skip setup. Needs an api.data.gov key for serious use (1,000 req/hr vs the 30/hr demo limit). Reach for this when you're building legislative tracking, policy research tools, or anything that needs structured access to what's moving through Congress.
