What is the Google Civic Information MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire civic participation and political auditing workflow with Google Civic Information, the authoritative source for localized government data. By connecting Google's civic intelligence to your agent, you transform complex political searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly identify your representatives, audit upcoming elections, and retrieve detailed polling metadata without you ever touching a government portal. Whether you are conducting regional policy research or preparing for a local vote, your agent acts as a real-time civic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Representative Auditing — Search for political officials by street address and retrieve comprehensive metadata, including names, parties, and office titles.
- Election Oversight — Audit upcoming and past elections to maintain a clear view of civic timelines and scale.
- Voter Intelligence — Query polling locations and ballot information for specific addresses to assist in civic preparation.
- Division Discovery — Search for electoral divisions (OCD-IDs) by name or location to understand regional administrative reach instantly.
- Civic Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your political research workflow is always operational.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Google Civic API Key?
Log in to the Google Cloud Console, create a project, enable the 'Google Civic Information API', and generate an API Key in the 'Credentials' section. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent identify state-level representatives?
Yes. The get_representatives_by_address tool retrieves officials at federal, state, and local levels based on the provided address metadata.
Does it support polling location search?
Yes. Use the get_voter_information tool providing an address and optionally an election ID to retrieve official polling site metadata.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
