Openstates Mcp Server

Wraps the Open States v3 API to give Claude direct access to legislative data across all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. You get 10 tools covering bill search with full-text queries and subject filters, legislator lookups by name or geolocation, committee rosters, and legislative events. The bill search returns inline sponsorships, actions, votes, and text versions when you set the include parameter, cutting down on follow-up calls. Useful for constituent research, policy tracking, and district-level analysis. Runs over stdio or streamable HTTP, and there's a public hosted instance if you want to skip local setup. Committee and event data is experimental since not all states publish it yet.
