Available tools 25

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

politics
politics_bill
Details of a US bill or resolution: vote breakdown, sponsors, cosponsors, status, and origin proof. Returns metadata, a short text excerpt, and a text index by default; full legislative text is omitted because omnibus bills exceed typical token caps. The include_text parameter controls whether the complete text is returned in a single response.
politics_bill_text
One signed, bounded slice of a bill's full legislative text, addressed by part number or section label. Each response carries part and total_parts, next_part, the slice's part_sha256, and the whole-bill content_hash. Parts 1 through total_parts concatenated in order hash to content_hash, so a bill too large to return in a single response remains verifiable as complete and unaltered.
politics_bill_toc
Section index for a bill: every "SEC. N" heading with its character offset and length, plus the whole-bill origin hash (content_hash) and total text length. A small response that describes the structure of a large bill.
politics_bills_search
Search bills by topic, sponsor, status, or congress. Returns bill metadata and whether full text is available.
politics_bridge_compare
Compare multiple politicians side-by-side on a bridge page — positions, party, office, campaign finance. Optionally filter to a specific topic.
politics_bridge_create
Create a citizen bridge page — a personalized workspace for tracking representatives, comparing positions, and taking action (write letters, log calls). Returns a shareable URL that any AI agent can collaborate on. Optionally auto-populates with the citizen's state representatives.
politics_bridge_letter
Draft a letter to a politician on the citizen's bridge page. The letter gets an origin hash for proof of content. Returns delivery options (email, web form, USPS, phone).
politics_bridge_session
Current state of a citizen bridge workspace: tracked officials, saved comparisons, drafted actions, and messages.
politics_by_state
Get all current officials for a US state — federal senators and representatives, state legislators, and any indexed local officials. Organized by government level.
politics_candidate_feed
Get a candidate's Campaign Data Standard (CDS) feed: a single machine-readable record of who they are, the offices they hold and seek, their positions in their own words (each source-linked), their voting record by reference, and declared data gaps. This is the standardized, signed feed an AI or reporter uses to grab a candidate's positions and verify they are genuine. Every MCP response is signed; the standalone signed feed is also at /official/{id}/candidate.json. Tier is "rootz-compiled" until the campaign claims and signs it ("candidate-signed").
politics_candidates
Registered federal candidates for the 2026 election cycle, filterable by state, office (senate, house, president), party, or presence of a campaign URL. Returns campaign website, social media links, FEC data, and position and speech counts.
politics_changes
Get recent changes detected across all politicians — position shifts, website updates, new data. Each change links to the before/after snapshots with origin proof.
politics_create_watchlist
Creates a Just the Facts watchlist bound to an email address, covering any combination of specific officials, issue topics, and a town with state for local meetings, agendas, and minutes. Sends a double-opt-in confirmation email and returns the bridge workspace URL.
politics_methodology
Get the full transparency methodology — how we collect, assess, extract, sign, and verify political data. Includes quality assessment algorithm (signals + weights), trust levels, data sources, cron schedule, and what we can and cannot prove. Open and auditable.
politics_municipalities
Search US municipalities (cities, towns, villages, counties). Every incorporated place in the US with coordinates. Filter by state, name, or type. Returns website, platform, meeting calendar, and board/commission info where available.
politics_official
Get full details for a specific official by ID — biography, party, office, policy positions, committee assignments, campaign finance, social media, and contact info. All data includes source URLs for verification.
politics_origin
Get origin archive statistics — total snapshots, changes detected, origin proofs recorded, unique URLs tracked. Shows the depth of the political wayback machine.
politics_positions
Policy positions across officials by topic, covering who supports or opposes issues such as crypto, stablecoins, AI, healthcare, and guns. Each position carries a source URL and origin hash. Returns compact records by default (id, name, party, state, stance, summary, source) with a total count; the compact parameter controls row detail and offset controls paging.
politics_provenance
Get the complete origin proof chain for an official — every data source, content hash, quality assessment, snapshot history, and verification instructions. Proves where every piece of data came from.
politics_represent
Representation lookup for a US ZIP code: both U.S. Senators, the U.S. House member for that ZIP's congressional district, and the state's statewide executives (governor, attorney general, and similar). Every official carries source_url (the capture origin) and source_link (a public page).
politics_search
Search for politicians and elected officials across all levels of US government — federal, state, county, municipal. Filter by name, state, party, level, chamber, or office title. Returns officials with their current office, party, and contact info.
politics_speeches
Search Congressional Record floor speeches by official, topic, date range, or keyword. Returns verbatim text from the official government record with origin proof hash. Every speech is directly citable with a GPO source URL.
politics_state_votes
Search state legislature votes across 26+ US states. Filter by state, topic, or date. Returns bill title, vote result, yes/no counts.
politics_stats
Get summary statistics for the politics.rootz.global database — total officials, breakdown by level, party, state, and chamber. Shows coverage completeness.
politics_timeline
Get the full origin timeline for a politician — every page snapshot, every position change, every data source with hash proof. The political wayback machine. Shows what changed, when, and where the data came from.

Officials — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Officials do?
It exposes 25 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: politics_bill, politics_bills_search, politics_bill_text, politics_bill_toc, politics_bridge_compare, politics_bridge_create and 19 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 Officials 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 467 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Officials still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Officials?
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 Officials need an API key?
No. Officials completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 25 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Officials?
It answers our handshake in 467 ms on average, which is faster than 26% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Officials open source?
Yes — 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
