Gov Transparency MCP server

This is a helper that lets your AI look things up in official US government records: who in Congress traded which stocks, who won federal contracts, where campaign money came from, who is lobbying, and what new rules just came out. It is handy if you follow politics, do research, or just want to check a claim without paying for a monthly data subscription. You pay a few cents per question instead.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like who traded a certain stock or who won a contract. The AI sends that question to this helper. The helper reaches out to official sources such as House financial disclosures, USAspending.gov, the FEC, the lobbying database, the Federal Register and Congress.gov, and pulls the matching records. It hands the results back to your AI, which shows them to you in the chat as a list or a short answer. Each lookup costs a small amount of USDC (a digital dollar) from a wallet you set up, paid automatically per call.

What you can do with it

• Look up recent stock trades by US House members, filtered by person, ticker, state or date
• See the disclosure filing index with links to the official PDFs
• Search federal contract awards by company, agency or date
• Pull a company profile with its official federal recipient records and recent award totals
• Check a candidate's campaign finance totals: receipts, spending, cash on hand, debts
• Find lobbying filings by client or firm, including money, issues and named lobbyists
• Watch the Federal Register for new regulations on a topic, and check the status of a bill

Try asking your AI

• “Which US House members traded Nvidia stock in the last three months?”
• “Show me federal contracts awarded to Palantir in 2024.”
• “What are the campaign finance totals for this candidate?”
• “Any new Federal Register rules about data privacy this month?”

What it gives back to you

You get back structured records in the chat: lists of trades with member, ticker, buy or sell, date and amount range; contract awards with amounts, agencies and dates; campaign totals as numbers; lobbying filings with money and names; and regulation or bill summaries. Sometimes you also get official PDF links to the source filings. Your AI can then summarize the list or answer your question directly from those records.
