Summary
Connects Claude to the GovTrack API for querying US Congressional data without authentication. You get three tools: fetch full bill details by ID (status, cosponsors, timeline), pull member records with voting history and ideology scores, and retrieve individual roll call votes showing how each legislator voted. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either call tools directly or use ask_pipeworx to pose questions in plain English and let it route to the right endpoint. Useful when you need to analyze legislation, track specific bills, or build tooling around Congressional voting patterns without managing API keys.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

"mcpServers": {
"govtrack": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/govtrack/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
