Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

congress

get_congress_member

All disclosed trades for one member of Congress plus a performance summary (trade count, buys/sells, average per-share return on disclosed buys). Pass the member_slug returned by get_congress_trades (e.g. 'nancy-pelosi').

get_congress_stats

Aggregate Congress-trading stats: total trades/members/tickers, buy vs sell counts, latest transaction & disclosure dates, and the most-traded tickers over the last 90 days.

get_congress_trades

U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.

Bargo Congress Trades — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bargo Congress Trades do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_congress_member, get_congress_stats, get_congress_trades. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Bargo Congress Trades working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 582 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Bargo Congress Trades?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Bargo Congress Trades need an API key?

No. Bargo Congress Trades completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Bargo Congress Trades?

It answers our handshake in 582 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Bargo Congress Trades open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
