Tools have disappeared from this server

A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 12

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

cgj
get_cgj_report
Get full details for a specific California Grand Jury report by ID. Includes findings, recommendations, and responses. Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.
search_cgj_reports
Search California Grand Jury reports by county, year, and/or title keyword. Returns report metadata (title, year, county, themes). Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys. For the list of valid county names, query the UnGovr entity API: GET https://data.ungovr.org/v1/entities/us/ca.json
resolve
resolve_domain_jurisdiction
Best-effort mapping from a domain to the jurisdiction whose law governs its OPERATOR. Authoritative for government domains in the UnGovr corpus (method "entity_domains"); otherwise an inference from suffix or country-code TLD, or "unknown". Never uses server or edge-node location: a CDN PoP's geography is not the legal signal, the operator's establishment is. IP addresses are refused for the same reason. Requires X-API-Key header (50 req/day, shared with data.ungovr.org). Get a key at https://www.ungovr.org/open-data/api-keys.
resolve_jurisdiction
Maps an ISO 3166 code to the UnGovr jurisdictions whose law reaches the place, from the published crosswalk (https://data.ungovr.org/v1/crosswalk/iso-3166/index.json, CC BY 4.0). Accepts a country (FR, PR, EU, XK), a first-level subdivision (US-CA, GB-ENG), or the country and region an edge emits as two arguments (country US, region CA). Returns the canonical URN, the stack of governing layers (the place, its sovereign, a union or treaty area that reaches it), OCD-ID, Wikidata QID, precision, a reason when a code cannot be placed, and the crosswalk version. It maps what an edge already knows: it never resolves an IP address (those are refused and not echoed), a city or a postal code, and Cloudflare's XX and T1 answer with a reason, not a guess. Free, rate-limited per IP.
countries
list_countries
List all countries with government entity data in UnGovr, including entity counts and coverage metadata.
entities
search_entities
Search government entities by country, optional state/province, name query, and entity type. Searches every tier of government in the jurisdiction, not just the top one: counties, cities, school districts, special districts, fire and police districts, joint powers authorities and regulated utilities are all reachable. Returns matching entities with slugs, types, and website URLs, plus a "scope" field: "full" means every tier was searched, "direct_children" means only the top tier was (narrow by state and search again). Unrecognized arguments are rejected, not ignored.
entity
get_entity
Get full details for a specific government entity by its URL slug (e.g., "us/ca/ventura"). Works at any depth of the hierarchy, including cities, school districts and special districts (e.g., "us/ca/santa-barbara/spd/carpinteria-valley"). Returns name, type, website, parent, children, domain status, and metadata.
open
get_open_records_law
Get the open records law (FOIA/RTI equivalent) governing a jurisdiction: name, citation, response deadlines, fees, exemptions, appeal process, records retention rules and RTI rating. Accepts a jurisdiction slug ("us/ca", "ie", "in/mh") or any UnGovr entity slug at any depth ("us/ca/santa-barbara/city/carpinteria" resolves to the California law). US federal FOIA is jurisdiction "us". When the answer comes from a parent jurisdiction the response includes "resolved_from".
product
get_product_coverage
Get the full hierarchy of government entities where an UnGovr product is available. product="request" returns the worldwide UnGovr Request coverage footprint (where you can file a government service request); product="cgj" returns Civil Grand Jury coverage. Public, no API key required.
service
list_service_types
List available service request categories and types for a country. Returns service types grouped by category (e.g., Infrastructure, Utilities, Parks). Use this to discover valid service_type_id values for submit_service_request. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).
submit
submit_service_request
Submit a government service request (e.g., report a pothole, broken streetlight, illegal dumping). The request is validated, geocoded, classified, routed to the correct government entity, and recorded. Delivery is enabled per-entity: where the target channel is live, the request is transmitted (response delivery.state = "sent", or "held" when queued for review); for entities not yet enabled it is recorded and routable but not transmitted (delivery.state = "dry_run", or "handoff" with a redirect_url the user finishes). Always check delivery.state. Requires X-API-Key header. Rate limit: 2 requests/hour. Supported countries: US, IE (Ireland), GB (United Kingdom).
transparency
search_transparency_laws
Search government transparency laws across five domains: open records, open meetings, fiscal transparency, digital accessibility, and oversight bodies. Filter by country, pillar, and/or a substring of the law name, citation, or jurisdiction. Returns compact records with jurisdiction slugs; use get_open_records_law for full open-records detail.

Ungovr — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ungovr do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_cgj_report, get_entity, get_open_records_law, get_product_coverage, list_countries, list_service_types and 6 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 Ungovr mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around cgj and resolve. 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 Ungovr 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 425 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Ungovr ever remove tools?
Yes. get_crawl_law, get_scraping_law are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Ungovr?
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 Ungovr need an API key?
No. Ungovr completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Ungovr?
It answers our handshake in 425 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
