Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that gives an assistant access to U.S. federal policy data: bills, Congress members, voting records, and civic information.

What you can do
Search and read federal policies and legislation by keyword, topic, or bill name, and fetch full legislative text by policy ID. Look up current members of Congress by name, state, party, or chamber, and get member details by Bioguide ID. Check how a member voted on a given policy, with roll call votes. Follow ongoing policy issues through story bundles and their timelines. Resolve bill nicknames or media names to the tracked policy effort, with bill lineage and current status. Find federal, state, and local representatives for an address, and get election and polling location information for a registered voter address.
When to use it
Useful when you need to research U.S. federal legislation, track a bill or policy issue, check a member of Congress's voting record, or look up representatives and voter logistics for an address.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime or package is needed. The manifest declares no authentication, environment variables, or headers.
Before you install
Queries about a specific address, including voter registration and polling details, are sent to a third-party service; consider whether that location data should leave your machine. Results are reference data and should be verified against official sources before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Govbase in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.govbase%2Fgovbase/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.
