Comprehensive Model Context Protocol server for managing Home Assistant through AI assistants.
OpenPublica is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
Search US local-government meetings: AI summaries, transcripts, and adopted plan documents.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http openpublica-mcp https://api.openpublica.com/mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# search_meetings_semantic, list_recent_meetings, get_meeting and 12 more
OpenPublica costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http openpublica-mcp https://api.openpublica.com/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
15 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.

Search OpenPublica meeting metadata by meaning, analyzed words, or both. The best default tool for "what has been said/decided about X" questions. Results carry a relevance_score (semantic, 0-1) and/or keyword_score (BM25) plus highlights, so you can triage matches by confidence. If the response sets degraded_to_vector, the hybrid keyword query failed and results are s
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | What to search for in plain language, e.g. 'short-term rental regulations' or 'police budget overtime'. |
| government_id | no | Optional account_id (from find_local_governments) to restrict the search to one government. | |
| government_ids | no | Optional list of account_ids to search across several governments at once (e.g. to compare cities). Overrides government_id. | |
| start_date | no | Optional earliest meeting date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| end_date | no | Optional latest meeting date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| category_tag | no | Optional meeting-type filter — an opaque category_tag from discover_meeting_vocabulary (not a guessable slug). | |
| topic | no | Optional topic filter — a topic name from discover_meeting_vocabulary, e.g. 'Affordable Housing'. Restricts to meetings that discussed it. | |
| match_type | no | How to match: 'semantic' (default, by meaning — best for concepts/paraphrases), 'keyword' (analyzed words in titles, summaries and topics), or 'hybrid' (both, rank-fused). Neither searches literal tra | |
| min_score | no | Optional semantic relevance floor 0-1 (default 0.4). Raise to return only strong matches; lower to widen recall. Applies to semantic matching only — keyword (BM25) hits are not filtered by it. | |
| limit | integer | no | Max meetings to return (1-25). |
Browse meetings newest-first, optionally filtered by government, type, topic, or date. Use this for "what are the most recent meetings" or to page through a government's history. For topical questions, prefer search_meetings_semantic.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| government_id | no | account_id to list meetings for (from find_local_governments). Omit to list across all governments. | |
| category_tag | no | Optional meeting-type filter — an opaque category_tag from discover_meeting_vocabulary (not a guessable slug; don't invent it). | |
| topic | no | Optional topic filter — a topic name from discover_meeting_vocabulary, e.g. 'Affordable Housing'. | |
| start_date | no | Optional earliest date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| end_date | no | Optional latest date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| limit | integer | no | Meetings per page (1-25). |
| page | integer | no | 1-based page number for older results. |
Get a single meeting's full AI summary and topics. Set include_transcript=true to also retrieve the complete transcript text for direct quotation. Returns an error object if the meeting is not found.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| meeting_id | string | yes | The meeting_id returned by a search/list tool. |
| include_transcript | boolean | no | If true, also fetch the full meeting transcript (can be long). Default false. |
Find exact quotes/passages inside one meeting's transcript. Use this to pull direct quotations without loading a whole (often very long) transcript: it fetches the transcript server-side, scans it, and returns only the matching passages with approximate start/end timecodes when available. Exact matches rank first, with a fuzzy fallback. Prefer this over `get_meeting(includ
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| meeting_id | string | yes | The meeting_id (from a search/list tool) whose transcript to search. |
| query | string | yes | The phrase or terms to find in the transcript, e.g. 'rent stabilization' or a speaker's exact words. |
| max_passages | integer | no | Max matched passages to return (1-20). |
| context_chars | integer | no | Characters of surrounding context per side of a match (0-2000). |
Discover which governments OpenPublica tracks near a coordinate. Returns nearby governments with their account_id, which you can pass to the other tools to scope results to a specific city or board. Note OpenPublica only covers a limited set of US localities; an empty result means none are tracked near that point yet.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| longitude | number | yes | Longitude of the location of interest. |
| latitude | number | yes | Latitude of the location of interest. |
| limit | integer | no | Max governments to return (1-50). |
Resolve a place *name* to the governments OpenPublica tracks there. Use this when you know a city/state name but not its coordinates — it returns matching governments with their account_id (prefix matches first), which you then pass to the search/list tools. Prefer this over find_local_governments when starting from a name rather than a latitude/longitude.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | A place name to search for, e.g. 'Sacramento', 'San Francisco, CA', or a state like 'Texas'. |
| limit | integer | no | Max governments to return (1-50). |
Resolve a ZIP code to nearby tracked governments. Convenience wrapper: geocodes the ZIP, then finds the governments OpenPublica tracks nearest that point. Returns their account_ids plus the resolved location. An empty governments list means none are tracked near that ZIP yet.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| postal_code | string | yes | A US ZIP code, e.g. '95814'. |
| limit | integer | no | Max governments to return (1-50). |
Get a tracked government's profile: name, location, and meeting categories.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| government_id | string | yes | The account_id of the government. |
| include_weekly_summary | boolean | no | If true, include the AI-generated weekly digest (markdown). Default false. |
Get meeting-activity stats for a government over a recent window. Returns total meeting count, a per-day activity map, and a breakdown of meeting categories — useful for "how active has X been lately?" questions.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| government_id | string | yes | account_id of the government, or 'all' for corpus-wide stats. |
| days | integer | no | Look-back window in days (1-365). |
Discover the valid category and topic filter values before filtering a search. Meeting category_tags are opaque UUIDs and topics have no fixed list, so you cannot guess them. Call this first to get the real values, then pass a returned category_tag (from categories[].tags) or topic string into search_meetings_semantic / list_recent_meetings. Scope with a government
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| government_id | no | Optional account_id to scope the vocabulary to one government. | |
| government_ids | no | Optional list of account_ids to scope to several governments. Overrides government_id. | |
| start_date | no | Optional earliest date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| end_date | no | Optional latest date, MM-DD-YYYY. | |
| topic_limit | integer | no | Max topics to return, most common first (1-200). |
List a government's adopted plan and budget documents. Each entry carries covers — every general-plan element that document answers for. A city that publishes one bound general plan satisfies all eight with the same PDF, so do not conclude an element is unpublished because no entry is named after it. status says what the entry offers: converted is searchable and readabl
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| government_id | string | yes | account_id from find_local_governments. |
| include_superseded | boolean | no | Also include prior editions retired by a newer document. |
One document's metadata. Use read_document_pages to read it. If an availability key is present, read it before quoting figures: its problems are transcription-lint findings, most often a footnote marker that may have been merged into the number it annotates. No such key means the document transcribed cleanly.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| document_id | string | yes | Document id from list_government_documents or search_documents. |
Read a page range of a document as markdown. Pages are transcribed from rendered pixels, so tables and scanned text come through as text. A page that could not be transcribed appears as a marked hole rather than being silently dropped — if you see one, say so instead of reading past it. Text is assembled from page windows, so covered may be slightly wider than what you
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| document_id | string | yes | Document id from list_government_documents or search_documents. |
| first_page | integer | yes | First page to read (1-based, as the PDF renders). |
| last_page | integer | yes | Last page to read. Spans longer than 40 pages are clamped to 40 from first_page. |
Search adopted plan and budget documents, returning page-cited excerpts. Each hit's text is a short passage around the match, not the full page — call read_document_pages with the hit's first_page to read it in context. Every hit carries first_page/last_page and source_url. Quote those when citing: the page number is what makes the claim checkable against the city's
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Words to find in plan and budget text, e.g. 'accessory dwelling unit parking'. |
| government_id | no | Optional account_id to restrict the search to one government. | |
| limit | integer | no | Maximum excerpts to return. |
Get OpenPublica's overall coverage: total governments, states, and meetings indexed. DC is tracked but is not a state, so it is reported separately as includes_dc — read the pair as "N states and DC".

- No card, and mcprush charges nothing for it
- Runs at its publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path
- Nothing to cap, because mcprush bills nothing
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install OpenPublica or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is an address its publisher runs, and you connect to it directly — this marketplace is not in the path. The scanner reads packages and public source, and an address is neither. So there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one.
Release history
This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 1.0.0.
No release note was published with this version.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish OpenPublica can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
