Resolve any government entity worldwide and submit service requests. Open civic data for AI agents.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Ungovr is a remote MCP server that lets an assistant look up government entities worldwide, transparency laws and grand jury reports, and submit civic service-1

What you can do
List countries with government entity coverage and search or fetch entities at any tier, from counties and cities to school and special districts, with parent, child and website details. Retrieve open records law details for a jurisdiction, including deadlines, fees, exemptions and appeals, and search transparency laws across open records, open meetings, fiscal transparency, accessibility and oversight. Look up product coverage hierarchies for the Request and Civil Grand Jury products. Search and read California Grand Jury reports, including findings, recommendations and responses. List service request categories for a country and submit a service request such as a pothole or streetlight, ge
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to identify which government body or jurisdiction is responsible for a place or domain, compare open records and transparency rules, or file a civic service request. Also suited to research on California Grand Jury reports.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime or package. No authentication is declared for most tools, but the grand jury report tools require an X-API-Key header, with a key obtained from the provider's site, limited to 50 requests per day shared with the provider's data site. Network access required.
Before you install
The submit_service_request tool sends a real request to a government entity, which may be transmitted to the target channel where live, so confirm details before submitting. Grand jury report tools need an X-API-Key credential and are rate limited. Jurisdiction and domain resolution results are described as best-effort or inferred in some cases, so verify before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Ungovr 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/org.ungovr%2Fmcp/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

list_countries

Countries with entity coverage

List all countries with government entity data in UnGovr, including entity counts and coverage metadata.

Takes no parameters.

search_entities

Search government entities

Search government entities by country, optional state/province, name query, and entity type. Searches every tier of government in the jurisdiction, not just the top one: counties, cities, school districts, special districts, fire and police districts, joint powers authorities and regulated utilities are all reachable. Returns matching entities with slugs, types, and website URLs, plus a "scope" field — "full" means every tier was searched, "direct_children" means only the top tier was (narrow by state and search again). Unrecognised arguments are rejected, not ignored.

Parameterstypelimitquerystateoffsetcountryrequired

get_entity

Government entity detail

Get full details for a specific government entity by its URL slug (e.g., "us/ca/ventura"). Works at any depth of the hierarchy, including cities, school districts and special districts (e.g., "us/ca/santa-barbara/spd/carpinteria-valley"). Returns name, type, website, parent, children, domain status, and metadata.

Parametersslugrequired

get_product_coverage

Where an UnGovr product is available

Get the full hierarchy of government entities where an UnGovr product is available. product="request" returns the worldwide UnGovr Request coverage footprint (where you can file a government service request); product="cgj" returns Civil Grand Jury coverage. Public, no API key required.

Parametersproductrequired

get_open_records_law

Open records law for a jurisdiction

Get the open records law (FOIA/RTI equivalent) governing a jurisdiction: name, citation, response deadlines, fees, exemptions, appeal process, records retention rules and RTI rating. Accepts a jurisdiction slug ("us/ca", "ie", "in/mh") or any UnGovr entity slug at any depth ("us/ca/santa-barbara/city/carpinteria" resolves to the California law). US federal FOIA is jurisdiction "us". When the answer comes from a parent jurisdiction the response includes "resolved_from".

Parametersjurisdictionrequired

search_transparency_laws

Search government transparency laws

Search government transparency laws across five domains: open records, open meetings, fiscal transparency, digital accessibility, and oversight bodies. Filter by country, pillar, and/or a substring of the law name, citation, or jurisdiction. Returns compact records with jurisdiction slugs; use get_open_records_law for full open-records detail.

Parameterslimitqueryoffsetpillarcountry

search_cgj_reports

Search California Grand Jury reports

Search California Grand Jury reports by county, year, and/or title keyword. Returns report metadata (title, year, county, themes). Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys. For the list of valid county names, query the UnGovr entity API: GET https://data.ungovr.org/v1/entities/us/ca.json

Parametersyearlimitquerycountyoffset

get_cgj_report

California Grand Jury report detail

Get full details for a specific California Grand Jury report by ID. Includes findings, recommendations, and responses. Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.

Parametersidrequired

list_service_types

Service request types

List available service request categories and types for a country. Returns service types grouped by category (e.g., Infrastructure, Utilities, Parks). Use this to discover valid service_type_id values for submit_service_request. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).

Parameterscountry

submit_service_request

File a government service request

Submit a government service request (e.g., report a pothole, broken streetlight, illegal dumping). The request is validated, geocoded, classified, routed to the correct government entity, and recorded. Delivery is enabled per-entity: where the target channel is live, the request is transmitted (response delivery.state = "sent", or "held" when queued for review); for entities not yet enabled it is recorded and routable but not transmitted (delivery.state = "dry_run", or "handoff" with a redirect_url the user finishes). Always check delivery.state. Requires X-API-Key header. Rate limit: 2 requests/hour. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).

resolve_domain_jurisdiction

Domain to governing jurisdiction

Best-effort mapping from a domain to the jurisdiction whose law governs its OPERATOR. Authoritative for government domains in the UnGovr corpus (method "entity_domains"); otherwise an inference from suffix or country-code TLD, or "unknown". Never uses server or edge-node location: a CDN PoP's geography is not the legal signal, the operator's establishment is. IP addresses are refused for the same reason. Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day, shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.

Parametersdomainrequired

resolve_jurisdiction

ISO 3166 code to UnGovr jurisdiction

Maps an ISO 3166 code to the UnGovr jurisdictions whose law reaches the place, from the published crosswalk (https://data.ungovr.org/v1/crosswalk/iso-3166/index.json, CC BY 4.0). Accepts a country (FR, PR, EU, XK), a first-level subdivision (US-CA, GB-ENG), or the country and region an edge emits as two arguments (country US, region CA). Returns the canonical URN, the stack of governing layers (the place, its sovereign, a union or treaty area that reaches it), OCD-ID, Wikidata QID, precision, a reason when a code cannot be placed, and the crosswalk version. It maps what an edge already knows: it never resolves an IP address (those are refused and not echoed), a city or a postal code, and Cloudflare's XX and T1 answer with a reason, not a guess. Free, rate-limited per IP.
