Available Tools

The MCP server exposes the following tools that AI agents can call:

Tool	Description
`list_countries`	List all countries with entity counts and coverage status
`search_entities`	Search government entities by name, type, or location
`get_entity`	Get full details for a specific entity including contacts and domains
`get_open_records_law`	Get the public records law governing any jurisdiction or entity: citation, deadlines, fees, exemptions, appeals
`search_transparency_laws`	Search transparency laws across five domains: records, meetings, fiscal, accessibility, oversight
`search_cgj_reports`	Search grand jury reports by county, year, or keyword
`get_cgj_report`	Get full report detail with findings and recommendations
`get_scraping_law`	(API key) Crawl and access legality for a jurisdiction, at any slug depth (`us/ca/ventura` resolves to the most specific jurisdiction with data). Includes freshness flags; check `stale` and `as_of_date`.
`resolve_domain_jurisdiction`	(API key) Best-effort mapping from a domain to the jurisdiction governing its operator, authoritative for government domains in the UnGovr corpus. Never uses server or edge location, and refuses IP addresses: the operator's establishment is the legal signal, not the hosting geography.

Example Queries

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

How many government entities does UnGovr track in California?
What is the parent entity of the City of San Buenaventura?
Show me grand jury reports about homelessness in Ventura County
Which countries have the most government entities in the database?
List all counties in Ireland with their entity types
What were the key findings in the latest Los Angeles County grand jury report on jails?

MPP: Rate Limits & Payments

Each tool has a free-tier limit (e.g., 100 entity lookups/day, 50 CGJ reports/day). Beyond those limits, the server returns a JSON-RPC -32042 payment challenge using the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).

Tool	Price per call
`list_countries`, `search_entities`, `get_entity`	$0.001
`get_open_records_law`, `search_transparency_laws`	$0.001
`search_cgj_reports`, `get_cgj_report`	$0.01
`list_service_types`	$0.001
`submit_service_request` (text only)	$0.01
`submit_service_request` (with images)	$0.05

Agents pay by pre-loading a wallet ($5.00 minimum) via Stripe, then including an _meta.credential with their Stripe Payment Token on retry. Successful paid requests include an _meta.receipt with the updated wallet balance.
