Connects Claude to OpenParliament.ca's civic tech database of Canadian parliamentary data. You get eight tools covering the core legislative workflow: search Hansard debates, list and retrieve bills, query recorded votes, look up current and historic MPs with full profiles, and browse House committees along with their meetings, witnesses, and evidence. Useful when you need to fact-check Canadian political claims, track legislation, research voting records, or pull historical parliamentary context into your prompts. Runs on Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure with streamable HTTP transport, so no local server setup required.
