Connects Claude to GovInfo.gov, the official repository for federal government publications. Exposes a get_granule tool that retrieves metadata for sub-units within publication packages, like individual Congressional Record entries or specific pages within larger documents. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either use it standalone or access it alongside 250+ other data sources through a unified endpoint. Also supports ask_pipeworx for natural language queries instead of direct tool calls. Useful when you need to pull official text from bills, regulations, court opinions, or other federal documents programmatically. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local installation needed.
GovInfo.gov MCP — full text of US government publications
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_granule | Granule metadata for a sub-unit within a package. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"govinfo": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/govinfo/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Govinfo data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
