I had a use case - I wanted to know what the congresspeople from my state have done this week. This information is surprisingly hard to just get from the news. I learned about MCP a few months ago and thought that it might be a cool way to interact with the congress.gov API.

I made this MCP server so that you could chat with real-time data coming from the API - https://github.com/AshwinSundar/congress_gov_mcp. I’ve actually started using it more to find out, well, what the US Congress is actually up to!
