Track the full history of U.S. National Debt

Need to know how much money we owed on a specific date? Use `get_debt_history` to pull national debt figures for any period—whether it's a whole fiscal year or just two key election cycles. It makes tracking long-term financial trends easy. You can plot the growth of the debt over time, which is crucial when looking at everything from presidencies to major economic crises.

Monitor current public debt breakdown via MCP Server

The `get_public_debt_breakdown` tool gives you a clear split between Debt Held by the Public and Intragovernmental Holdings. This helps clarify where the money is actually sitting—which is way more useful than just seeing one total number. It lets you see exactly which parts of the public debt are marketable securities versus those locked up in trust funds like Social Security.

Get real-time results from Treasury auctions

Want to know if investors are actually interested in U.S. debt? Running `get_treasury_auctions` shows the bid-to-cover ratio for Bills, Notes, and Bonds. Higher ratios mean demand is strong. This data provides a quick pulse check on investor confidence in American bonds without needing to read a full financial report.
