congressgov-mcp-server

congressgov-mcp-server is a plugin for Claude Code from cyanheads/congressgov-mcp-server. Its manifest loads nothing; the 33 skills, 1 MCP server it bundles cost 2,497 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An MCP server that provides access to U.S. congressional information, including bills, votes, members, and committees. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to use an external data service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up or work with U.S. legislation, voting records, congressional members, and committee information through an MCP-compatible agent.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined connection to congressional data instead of requiring that information to be gathered manually. It supports local standard-input/output connections and streamable HTTP connections.

Security

Grade A, and why

congressgov-mcp-server scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 33 skills, 1 MCP server travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 2,497 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
