Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 30

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

politics

politics_alignment

Compare an official's stated positions against their actual roll-call votes, per topic — what they SAY vs how they VOTED, both source-linked. Does NOT label agreement/contradiction (you judge and cite); surfaces the juxtaposition no unsigned source can. Use official id.

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_coverage

Coverage map: per-state, per-dataset completeness (officials by level, positions, finance, state-legislative votes). Shows WHERE the data is deep (federal — complete) vs sparse (local). Use it to know whether silence means "no data captured" rather than "nothing there".

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_poll

Get one poll in full: pollster, sponsor, field dates, population, sample size, margin of error, mode, the VERBATIM question(s) asked, per-option toplines, the first-party source_url, and the signature (poll_proof) that binds the exact wording and numbers. This is the ground truth to check any claim about a poll against.

politics_polls

Search the SIGNED public-poll archive. Unlike aggregators, every poll keeps the EXACT question wording, population base (LV/RV/adults), sample size, margin of error, mode, and per-option toplines — first-party sourced, snapshot-hashed, and cryptographically signed (verifiable). Filter by race_key, state, subject (e.g. "approval", "Senate"), pollster, or since (ISO date). Returns a list; call politics_poll {id} for full detail + signature. Use this when a question hinges on what a poll ACTUALLY asked vs how it was reported.

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_resolve

Resolve a messy name string (e.g. "Rep. Johnson", "cornyn") to a canonical official — returns the best match with a 0-1 confidence score and ranked alternatives. Use this first when you have a name but not an ID; then call politics_official with best.id. Add state to disambiguate.

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 30 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: politics_alignment, politics_bill, politics_bills_search, politics_bill_text, politics_bill_toc, politics_bridge_compare and 24 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 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 440 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 30 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 440 ms on average, which is faster than 36% 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?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
