AP Elections API

What is the AP Elections API MCP Server?

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire political research and election auditing workflow with the AP Elections API, the gold standard for real-time election data. By connecting the Associated Press API to your agent, you transform complex results querying into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve race outcomes, audit candidate performance, and query vote totals without you ever touching a news terminal. Whether you are conducting political analysis or monitoring local legislative shifts, your agent acts as a real-time political consultant, ensuring your data is always authoritative and up-to-the-minute.

What you can do

  • Race Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution results for specific election dates and races, including office names and geographic distribution.
  • Candidate Oversight — Audit individual candidate performance to maintain a clear view of party distribution and vote share.
  • Electoral Discovery — Query election results by state to understand regional political shifts and scale instantly.
  • Data Intelligence — Retrieve vote counts and candidate metadata to assist in deep-dive electoral classification.
  • Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your political research workflow is always operational.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your AP Elections API Key
  3. Start managing your political intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Political Analysts — monitor election results and retrieve official metadata straight from your workflow.
  • Journalists & Newsrooms — verify candidate performance and audit vote totals without manual searching.
  • Policy Researchers — perform rapid audits of legislative races and identify relevant electoral markers through natural language.
  • Operations Leads — automate election data querying to orchestrate cross-functional research teams smoothly.

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings AP Elections API data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I find my AP Elections API Key?

Log in to your AP Developer portal, register for the Elections API, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.

02

Does it support real-time vote counts?

Yes. The Associated Press provides official, real-time vote counts and delegate allocations as they are reported on election night.

03

Can the agent show candidate party affiliation?

Yes. Every candidate record retrieved by your agent includes their party code (e.g., 'Dem', 'GOP') and other relevant affiliation metadata.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
