us-gov-open-data-mcp and mcp-congress_gov_server
These are complements: the broader government data aggregator (A) includes Congress API access among 40+ sources, while the specialized server (B) provides deeper, dedicated integration with Congress.gov's v3 API for use cases requiring comprehensive legislative data.
About us-gov-open-data-mcp
lzinga/us-gov-open-data-mcp
MCP server + TypeScript SDK for 40+ U.S. government data APIs — 250+ tools. Treasury, FRED, Congress, FDA, CDC, FEC, lobbying, and many more. Works with VS Code Copilot, Claude Desktop, Cursor.
Implements WASM-sandboxed JavaScript execution ("code mode") to reduce context window usage by 98-100% for large responses, and provides built-in cross-referencing logic that guides LLMs to correlate data across agencies (e.g., FDA adverse events + lobbying spend). Dual transport support (stdio for desktop, HTTP Stream for remote) pairs with disk-backed caching and token-bucket rate limiting with exponential backoff. The TypeScript SDK also works standalone without the MCP server, with every API available as a typed importable module.
About mcp-congress_gov_server
bsmi021/mcp-congress_gov_server
