About GovInfo MCP Server
Connect to the official GovInfo API and empower your AI agent with direct access to official publications from all three branches of the US Federal Government. Query congressional bills, federal regulations, court opinions, and presidential documents using natural language without navigating complex government databases.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and GovInfo tool infrastructure. Connect 8 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do

- Deep Search — Perform complex searches across the entire GovInfo database to find relevant legislative or regulatory documents
- Daily Updates — Retrieve a list of all documents officially published on a specific date
- Metadata Extraction — Get detailed summary metadata for specific packages or their sub-documents (granules)
- Contextual Relationships — Discover related documents to understand the legislative or regulatory history of a specific bill or rule
