<p><strong>Turn your Open Navigator data into an AI-accessible knowledge base!</strong></p>
<p>The Open Navigator MCP server exposes your entire civic data platform to AI assistants like Claude through the <a href=https://modelcontextprotocol.io/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Model Context Protocol</a>. This enables AI assistants to:</p>
<ul>
<li class="">🏛️ Search 90,000+ U.S. jurisdictions</li>
<li class="">🏢 Query 3M+ nonprofit organizations</li>
<li class="">📜 Semantic search across 4.5M+ legislative documents</li>
<li class="">📊 Get real-time statistics and analytics</li>
<li class="">🔍 Vector search meetings and bills with natural language</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id=what-is-mcp>What is MCP?<a href=#what-is-mcp class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to What is MCP?" title="Direct link to What is MCP?" translate=no>​</a></h2>
<p><strong>Model Context Protocol (MCP)</strong> is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications provide context to LLMs. Instead of manually copying data or writing custom integrations, MCP lets AI assistants directly access your data sources through a unified interface.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li class="">✅ <strong>Live Data</strong>: AI queries your latest data, not stale exports</li>
<li class="">✅ <strong>Semantic Search</strong>: Natural language queries with vector search</li>
<li class="">✅ <strong>Type-Safe</strong>: Structured tool definitions with validated inputs</li>
<li class="">✅ <strong>Composable</strong>: Combine multiple data sources in one query</li>
<li class="">✅ <strong>Secure</strong>: Run locally with no data leaving your machine</li>
</ul>
