Switzerland Parliament MCP Server

Read a Swiss parliamentary business by canonical eight-digit businessId or exact published short number. Choose overview for metadata and available text sizes; texts for original published text, automatically outlined when several fields exceed the disclosure budget; or status_history, bills, related_business, preconsultations, or subjects for independently paged relationships. textFields selects complete original fields only in texts, even when large. Paging applies only to relationships. Use subjects to narrow chparl_search_transcripts; source text and HTML remain unchanged.

Read a Swiss Parliament member by PersonNumber, which need not equal Person.ID. overview returns identity and every base MemberCouncil affiliation without pagination. Select council_terms for historical council terms, committees for published MemberCommittee rows, or interests for declared interests; those sections accept limit and offset. Missing paid status means unknown, and empty interests do not establish absence of conflicts of interest. Metadata labels remain in the selected language.

Find Nationalrat roll calls with mode votes and businessId, sessionId, or both. Use mode members with voteId for one paged roll call, or personNumber without voteId for member history optionally filtered by businessId and sessionId. Use mode groups with voteId for complete decision counts by parliamentary group. Member roll calls start in the 2003 winter session and exclude Ständerat member votes; an empty result does not prove no vote occurred. Member counts cover only delivered rows; groups mode reads all published member rows before reporting totals. Verbatim decisionTexts accompany code buckets when published. Code meanings include 1 yes, 2 no, 3 abstention, 4 present, 5 did not participate, 6 excused under Art. 57 para. 4, 7 president does not vote, and 8 resigned. Unknown codes and missing decisions are retained. Follow nextOffset with the same mode and filters.

List Swiss Parliament reference entries and source coverage. Choose identifiers, coverage, or languages for server explanations; statuses for the official legacy/current status snapshot; or business_types, councils, cantons, parties, groups, committees, or sessions for live dictionaries. Date filters apply only to sessions. Follow nextOffset with the same topic, language, and dates; labels remain in the requested metadata language and missing labels stay unknown.

Search Swiss parliamentary business by title substring, published submitter label, type, current status, submission session, inclusive submission dates, or committee role. Use chparl_list_reference to resolve codes and chparl_get_business to read a returned businessId. Follow nextCursor with unchanged filters; newest canonical business IDs appear first. Author searches omit the business total. Committee searches page role candidates and may return short pages without a distinct business total. Metadata labels remain in de, fr, or it without translation fallback.

Find current or former Swiss Parliament affiliation records by name, council, canton, party, or parliamentary group. membership defaults to current; former selects inactive records and all omits the activity filter. query matches a substring of a published first, last, or official name. Use each record’s personNumber with chparl_get_member for identity, full council terms, committees, and declared interests. Follow nextOffset with the same filters.

Find Amtliches Bulletin passages by business, debate subject, speaker, session, council, or inclusive meeting dates. Supply at least a business, subject, speaker, session, or date bound. A text substring query additionally requires sessionId or a closed date range of at most 31 calendar days. Searches return metadata by default; includeText returns whole original passages, and an exact transcriptId defaults to full text. Metadata language never translates the speaker text; missing LanguageOfText remains unknown. Business searches cover every associated subject up to 20; larger debates require selecting subjectId through chparl_get_business section subjects. Follow nextOffset with unchanged filters.
