Chain state legislative searches with LangChain

`search_bills` lets your LangChain agents query active state legislation directly inside your chain runs. This setup feeds raw legislative text directly into subsequent steps without manual copying. Your agent inspects the search results and feeds specific bill IDs into the next link. LangSmith traces the entire flow so you see exactly how bill data moves from the API to your final output.

Inspect deep bill metrics in active agent runs

`get_bill_details` pulls the complete history, sponsor lists, and current status of any bill in your run. LangChain agents use this raw data to evaluate policy impact on the fly. You don't have to write custom parsers for state-specific formats. The agent parses the payload, extracts the vote tallies, and passes them to your vector store or database in a single execution.

Track whole states using multi-server MCP setups

`get_state_master_list` pulls the entire legislative docket for a target state into your LangChain agent. This tool prevents your pipeline from missing newly introduced bills during active sessions. Combine this legislative data with other APIs in your chain using the MultiServerMCPClient adapter. Your agent checks the master list, flags updates, and triggers alerts across your stack.

Setup guide

Set up LegiScan Legislation Lookup MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes LegiScan Legislation Lookup tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "legiscan-legislation-lookup-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent LegiScan Legislation Lookup transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
