Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 8 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Pain of Manual Government Research

Right now, finding a single piece of federal data means navigating three separate portals. You check Congress for bills, the Federal Register for updates, and court sites for opinions. You spend half your day cross-referencing dates, downloading PDFs just to read the header, and copy-pasting metadata into spreadsheets.

With this MCP connected via Vinkius, you tell your agent what you need—say, 'All regulations related to water rights published in 2023.' Your agent doesn't click through anything. It uses its tools to build a precise query across all collections and hands you only the relevant data points.

Retrieving Document Context with GovInfo

You no longer have to manually check if a document references another. When your agent finds a package, it can run `get_related_documents`. This instantly builds a map of the legislative history or regulatory lineage for you.

What's different is that you get context automatically. You go from 'Here is one bill' to 'Here is this bill and everything that influenced it.' Period.

What your AI can actually do with this

Need a specific piece of legislation or a detailed court ruling? GovInfo connects your AI client to all three branches of the U.S. Federal Government through one API. You can ask anything—whether you need the full text of an older federal rule, want to know which bills are related to a new regulation, or just need a list of everything published yesterday.

Your agent handles the complexity; you get clean data right in your workspace. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, it acts like having a dedicated research assistant on retainer, capable of instantly locating and summarizing official records for compliance, journalism, or deep academic work.

Questions you might have

How do I know what kind of documents are available using list_collections? +

You run list_collections first. It gives you a clean list of all major document categories, like BILLS or CFR, so you know exactly where to focus your search.

Can I find documents published on a specific date using get_published? +

Yep. get_published accepts a date and gives you every document that went live that day, letting you monitor rapid changes in regulations or law.

What is the difference between get_package_summary and get_granule_summary? +

A package summary gets details for a whole group of documents. A granule summary digs into the metadata for one tiny, specific document within that package.

How does search_documents work if I don't know the collection name? +

search_documents runs across everything. You just give it keywords and parameters; it handles querying all collections without you having to specify them up front.

How do I track the legislative history of a bill using get_related_documents? +

It pulls together related records for you. Instead of guessing, this tool finds documents that share context with a package, helping you map out the entire regulatory or legal trail associated with a specific piece of legislation.

When should I use get_collection to narrow down my search? +

You use it when you need to filter packages by date range within a known collection. This helps limit the scope, ensuring your agent only pulls documents relevant to a specific time window.

What happens if I forget the API key when running search_documents? +

The system will throw an authentication error because the credentials are missing or invalid. Make sure you pass your free data.gov API key correctly to allow the agent to access GovInfo.

How does list_package_granules help me process a large package? +

It returns a detailed manifest of all sub-documents inside a larger package. This is essential because it gives you explicit identifiers for each granule, allowing your agent to fetch metadata or details one piece at a time.

What kind of documents can I find on GovInfo? +

GovInfo provides access to a vast array of federal documents, including Congressional Bills (BILLS), the Federal Register (FR), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), United States Courts Opinions (USCOURTS), and Presidential Documents (CPD). Use the list_collections tool to see all available categories.

How do I find the actual text or PDF of a document? +

The get_package_summary tool returns metadata which includes download links (URLs) for various formats like PDF, XML, or Text. You can then use those links to access the full document.
