What data sources does Political Influence Network use?

It orchestrates eight public data actors in parallel: FEC campaign finance filings, congressional stock trading disclosures, Congress.gov bill tracking, Federal Register regulatory actions, nonprofit organization filings, USAspending federal contracts, OpenCorporates corporate registries, and Wikipedia background context.

How do I connect my MCP client?

What tools are available and what do they cost?

Eight tools are provided: map_influence_network, detect_conflict_of_interest, trace_money_to_legislation, analyze_revolving_door, score_lobbying_influence, detect_dark_money_flows, compute_political_risk_score, and generate_influence_report. Each tool costs $0.045 or $0.050 per call.

What input parameters do the tools accept?

Each tool accepts a required query string (politician, corporation, PAC, or policy topic) and an optional sources array to select specific data groups (e.g., "finance", "trading", "legislation"). Default sources vary by tool.

What are the limits and caching behavior?

Each upstream actor is called with a 500‑item limit and a 180‑second timeout; failed sources return empty arrays without crashing. All actor calls are cached for 5 minutes per query to avoid redundant API costs.
