Is the data provided by BallotReady nonpartisan?

Yes. The platform is designed specifically to provide nonpartisan election information. It helps users access objective data about elections, candidates, and districts.

What kind of elections can I find?

You can find upcoming local, state, and federal elections. The MCP can identify elections based on a specific physical address in the United States.

Does this MCP just list elections, or can it explain them?

It does both. Beyond listing elections, your agent can use the MCP to access and explain specific ballot measures and referendums directly in the chat.

Do I need to know the candidate's ID to get their profile?

No. While you can use a specific candidate ID for a detailed profile, the MCP also allows you to list all candidates running for office in a given area.

What if I need to check my connection?

The MCP includes a dedicated capability, get_account_check, that lets you verify the connection and ensure your API key is active and working.

Can I search for elections using just a city name?

For the highest accuracy, BallotReady capabilities like list_elections require a specific physical address (Street, City, State, ZIP). This ensures the agent returns the exact ballot measures and candidates for that specific location.

Does this integration provide information for international elections?

Currently, BallotReady focuses exclusively on comprehensive civic data within the United States, including local, state, and federal contests.

Can the agent tell me who my current representatives are?

Yes. Use the get_officeholders capability by providing a district ID (retrieved via list_districts for an address) to see a list of current leaders representing that area.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

BallotReady works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put BallotReady to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
