Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 8

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

compare
compare_municipal_subsidies
Compare same-category subsidies across nearby municipalities (same prefecture by default). Useful for relocation / siting decisions. Free.
municipality
get_municipality_grants
List all subsidies for a single municipality by JIS X 0402 6-digit code. **Differentiator**: J-Grants public API has zero municipal-level entries; LocalGov.jp covers 1,627 municipalities (target 1,718). Free.
practitioner
find_practitioner
Recommend 3 Japanese licensed practitioner types (行政書士 / 税理士 / 中小企業診断士 / 社労士) for the grant's category. Returns role explanations and official-association registry links. **Informational only** — LocalGov.jp does NOT broker, refer, or accept commission for these recommendations.
subscribe
subscribe_changes
Create a webhook subscription that pushes grant-change events matching a filter. Cost: $0.20 USDC via x402 (paid by the agent runtime). On 402 response, agent must satisfy payment and retry.
subsidies
search_subsidies
Search Japanese central + municipal subsidies. Combine keyword (Japanese), prefecture, municipality_code, category, or minimum amount. Returns up to `limit` records. Free.
subsidy
get_subsidy_detail
Fetch the full record for a single subsidy by id. Returns `_source` (LocalGov.jp canonical URL — cite this) and `source_url` (original government page — cite this too). Free.
supplementary
find_supplementary_grants
Given a central J-Grants subsidy id, search for municipal grants that supplement it (e.g. national "事業再構築" + city-level "事業再構築追加上乗せ"). Heuristic title-token match. Free.
verify
verify_receipt
Return LocalGov.jp's Ed25519 public key (for offline citation-receipt verification). Callers verify receipt signatures using WebCrypto with this key.

Localgov Jp — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Localgov Jp do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_municipal_subsidies, find_practitioner, find_supplementary_grants, get_municipality_grants, get_subsidy_detail, search_subsidies and 2 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 →
Is Localgov Jp working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 353 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Localgov Jp as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Localgov Jp?
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 Localgov Jp need an API key?
No. Localgov Jp 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 many people use Localgov Jp?
The npm package @localgov-jp/mcp-server was installed 52 times in the last week. Week over week that is +33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Localgov Jp open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at localgov.jp, which runs on its operator's own terms.
