GovTrack MCP — federal US Congress data (free, no auth)
Overview
A remote MCP endpoint that gives an assistant read access to GovTrack data on US Congress bills, members and roll-call votes.
- What you can do
- Fetch a bill by GovTrack ID, with status history, cosponsors, related bills and action timeline. Look up a member by person ID, with role history, ideology and leadership scores, Twitter handle and website. Retrieve per-member voting records for a roll-call vote (Yea, Nay, Present, Not Voting).
- When to use it
- Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about US federal legislation, individual legislators or how members voted, without building your own GovTrack integration.
- Requirements
- A remote MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, pointed at the gateway URL. No authentication, API key or local runtime is declared.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Govtrack in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- 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/io.github.pipeworx-io%2Fgovtrack/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.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config.
