Track Aracaju spending patterns in Claude Desktop

The `list_expenses` tool pulls live municipal outflow data from Aracaju directly into your chat. Instead of scraping government portals, you ask Claude Desktop to parse exact transaction records. Your desktop app displays real-time municipal expenditures without lag. You can cross-reference these budget outflows with local policy decisions in a single prompt.

Audit city payrolls with this MCP Server

The `list_personnel` tool lets your agent fetch the complete list of public servants and their salaries in Aracaju. You get raw payroll numbers instantly in your Claude Desktop window. This setup lets you run quick queries on municipal labor costs. Because Claude Desktop runs this MCP Server locally, you can export these payroll lists straight to your local CSV files.

Analyze Aracaju bids and contracts in your workspace

The `list_bids` and `list_contracts` tools retrieve active public tenders and signed agreements from the city of Aracaju. You do not need to manually download PDF files from the city's official transparency portal. Claude Desktop parses these bidding documents to identify patterns or high-value vendors. It helps you spot suspicious contract amendments by comparing historical bids with active municipal agreements.
