Available tools 21

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

election
get_election
Inspect one public Danish parliamentary or municipal election by ID or slug. Returns election metadata, public result status, national turnout, vote totals and party vote shares, update timestamps, calculated but not officially verified parliamentary mandate counts, and the previous comparable election when available. Use list_elections to discover valid IDs and slugs, and the election-parties vocabulary resource to interpret list letters and abbreviations.
get_election_candidates
Inspect candidate names, votes, and vote shares for one FV or KV election and geographic scope. Year is required. Party and candidate text filters can be combined. Candidate names accept IDs, slugs, exact names, or partial names. With one uniquely resolved candidate, breakdown_by can rank their regions, municipalities, or polling areas. Historical geographic candidate rows prove recorded results in the scope, not a complete authoritative ballot roster.
get_election_history
Track turnout, vote totals, party or candidate performance, bloc shares, bloc lead, or calculated FV mandates across elections. from_year and to_year are optional and inclusive; omitted bounds mean all available history. Geography filters select the same named/code scope in each election. breakdown_by election returns a time series; region, constituency, or municipality ranks that dimension across the period using weighted vote totals rather than averaging percentages. Calculated mandates are not officially verified.
get_election_votes
Inspect vote totals, turnout, party/list vote shares, bloc winner and lead for one FV or KV election. Year is required. With no geography it returns national data; region, constituency, nomination district, municipality, and polling area arguments drill into applicable scopes. Optional party filtering accepts names, abbreviations, list letters, and list IDs. National FV seats are calculated by Politikdata and explicitly not officially verified mandate counts.
vote
get_vote_cast
Get compact details for one Danish parliamentary afstemning/vote cast, including paginated party vote breakdown. This does not include the full roll-call list of individual politician votes; use get_vote_cast_votes for that.
get_vote_cast_votes
Get the full voting breakdown for one Danish parliamentary afstemning/vote cast, including both party-level votes and individual politician roll-call votes.
search_vote_casts
Search Danish parliamentary afstemninger/stemmer, meaning aggregate vote results for a case step. This does not search individual person or party votes. Category filters should usually be omitted for initial searches and used only for refinement.
party
get_party
Get compact details for one Danish political party, including the manually registered party leader, profile statistics, national FV/KV vote-share history, latest parliamentary election result, validity dates, and public URLs. Any parliamentary mandate count marked calculated is not officially verified. Use compare with party:ID when comparing this party against a person or another party.
search_party_votes
Search how a Danish political party voted in Folketinget afstemninger/stemmer. Use party IDs from the parties vocabulary resource. Category filters should usually be omitted for initial searches and used only for refinement.
person
get_person
Get compact details for one Danish politician/person, including public biography summary, roles, party memberships, parliamentary vote statistics, election candidacies, and personal election votes. Use compare with person:ID when comparing this person against another person or a party majority vote.
search_person_votes
Search how a Danish politician/person voted in Folketinget afstemninger/stemmer. Use resolve_person first when only a name is known. Category filters should usually be omitted for initial searches and used only for refinement.
case
get_case
Get compact details for one Danish parliamentary case, including paginated associated document metadata and file IDs for optional extracted document text retrieval.
cases
search_cases
Search Danish parliamentary cases/documents by text, date range, type, category, and topic. Category filters should usually be omitted for initial searches and used only for refinement.
compare
compare
Compare two Danish politicians/persons, two political parties, or one person against one party majority vote. Pass free-text names in left and right; when a name is ambiguous, retry with a specific input like person:123 or party:6 from the returned candidates. Leave result_filter as all for overall agreement; use only_agreement/only_disagreement only to inspect matching result rows. Comparable votes only include For, Imod, and Hverken for eller imod; Fravær/absence and undetermined party majority votes are excluded.
document
get_document_text
Return a bounded slice of extracted text for a document file. Supports head, tail, and range pagination; source_url always points to the official PDF.
elections
list_elections
List public Danish parliamentary and municipal elections that have result data or are enabled for live coverage. Returns IDs and slugs for get_election, plus current default/live markers and public URLs.
fetch
fetch
Universal Deep Research-compatible fetch tool. Takes an id returned by search and returns a readable JSON document with id, title, text, url, and metadata.
keywords
search_keywords
Search parliamentary topic keywords by text. Results are ordered by associated document count so frequently used keywords are suggested first.
persons
search_persons
Resolve or search politicians by name, optionally limited by parliamentary period.
resolve
resolve_person
Resolve politicians by name only. Use this when an MCP client needs person IDs before calling person-specific tools.
search
search
Universal Deep Research-compatible search across Politikdata.dk cases, vote casts, people, and parties. Use fetch with the returned id to retrieve a readable citation source.

Politikdata.dk MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Politikdata.dk MCP do?
It exposes 21 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare, fetch, get_case, get_document_text, get_election, get_election_candidates and 15 more. 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 →
What is Politikdata.dk MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around election, vote and person. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Politikdata.dk MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 231 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Politikdata.dk MCP?
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 Politikdata.dk MCP need an API key?
No. Politikdata.dk MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 21 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Politikdata.dk MCP?
It answers our handshake in 231 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
