USA - Federal Government Data

Making Government Data Available in GraphQL

Lots of government data is available, but that doesn't mean it's easy to access and extract insights from it. This project is an attempt to rectify that.

• API: api.govql.us/graphql — GraphQL API with Ruru explorer
• Site: govql.us — documentation and usage guide

Repo structure

This repo is a monorepo containing two sub-projects:

• us-congress/ — the GovQL GraphQL API (JavaScript / PostGraphile), plus the Docusaurus docs site.
• mcp-server/ — the GovQL MCP Server (Python / FastMCP). Lets AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor query the API directly.

They are deployed independently and depend on each other only at runtime via HTTP.

See us-congress/README.md for local development and deployment of the API, and mcp-server/README.md / mcp-server/CONTRIBUTING.md for the MCP server.
