canparl
canparl_get_bill
Read one House or Senate bill's official dossier. Large dossiers return an outline; re-call with one section and follow pagination.nextOffset for collections. Stages preserve nested records whole. Obtain billCode and session from canparl_search_bills; omitted session means the verified current official session.
canparl_get_member
Read one House MP by a returned OpenParliament slug or official personId, current or former (36th Parliament onward). Pass exactly one identifier from canparl_search_members detailLookup. Official profiles survive unavailable OpenParliament enrichment. Recent ballots come newest first from the official House member-votes feed when the member has one official personId, filterable by votesSession (default: the member's latest session) and votesBillCode; otherwise from OpenParliament. Sponsored bills and recent ballots are independently pageable; set their limits to zero for profile-only lookup.
canparl_get_vote
Read a recorded House division, its full official tally, party totals, and a page of individual ballots. Ballot, personId, party, and province filters affect the ballot page only; nonvoters are absent. Omitted session means the verified current official session. Follow nextOffset with identical filters.
canparl_list_reference
List canonical session coverage and bill, division, and caucus vocabulary. Use source-specific terms when constructing filters. Omitted session means the verified current session for vocabulary. For topic sessions omit session; the entire global index is returned. Topic parties covers the current session only: its entries come from the current House roster, so a past division's caucuses come from canparl_get_vote byParty.
canparl_search_bills
Find House and Senate bills in one session by title, number, type, chamber, status, or indexed MP sponsor. Sponsor results are the OpenParliament-indexed subset; fetch a bill for its sponsor, stages, divisions, and statute citation. Omitted session means the verified current official session. Follow nextOffset with identical filters.
canparl_search_members
Find House MPs by name, riding, province, or caucus in the complete current official roster, or set parliament to search everyone who sat in that Parliament (36th onward) with official personIds and membership dates. Set includeFormer for OpenParliament's historical name index; its rows may contain only a name and slug. Follow nextOffset with identical filters and use detailLookup with canparl_get_member.
canparl_search_speeches
Find indexed House Hansard speeches by speaker, bill debated or mentioned, or date. contains scans at most 100 candidate speeches per call; follow nextOffset without changing filters until exhausted before drawing a negative conclusion.
canparl_search_votes
Find recorded House divisions in one session by bill, result, document type, date, or subject. Return newest first and pass session plus number to canparl_get_vote. Omitted session resolves from the current official bill feed. Follow nextOffset with identical filters.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Canada Parliament MCP Server 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 562 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Canada Parliament MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Canada Parliament MCP Server need an API key?
No. Canada Parliament MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Canada Parliament MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 562 ms on average, which is faster than 21% 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.
How many people use Canada Parliament MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/canada-parliament-mcp-server was installed 597 times in the last week. Week over week that is +947%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Canada Parliament MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at canada-parliament.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
