What is the OpenStates MCP Server?

Equip your AI agent with the most comprehensive US state-level legislative intelligence via OpenStates. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to bills, legislators, and committee metadata across all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. Your agent can instantly search for specific legislation, audit legislator profiles, and retrieve committee memberships without you ever manually checking a government site. Whether you are tracking policy trends or verifying legislative actions, your agent acts as a dedicated political analyst through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Bill Discovery — Search for thousands of legislative bills by keyword, jurisdiction, and session.
  • Legislator Auditing — Fetch complete profiles, contact information, and current roles for state legislators.
  • Committee Intelligence — List all legislative committees in a jurisdiction and retrieve their detailed membership lists.
  • Jurisdiction Lookup — List and inspect all supported states and jurisdictions to understand current legislative coverage.
  • Deep Metadata — Retrieve detailed actions and versions for specific bills to analyze the legislative process.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Which US states are covered by this integration?

OpenStates covers all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. You can use the list_jurisdictions tool to see the full list of currently active jurisdictions.

02

Can I search for bills by specific keywords like 'environment' or 'education'?

Yes! Use the search_bills tool, provide the state name in the jurisdiction parameter, and your keywords in the q parameter. Your agent will return all matching legislation.

03

How do I get the contact information for my state representative?

First, find the legislator using search_legislators with their name or district. Then, use the get_legislator_details tool with their ID to retrieve their official email, office address, and phone number.

04

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.

05

Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?

Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
