Openfec MCP Server

Find federal candidates by name, state, office, party, or cycle. Retrieve a specific candidate by FEC ID with financial totals. Candidate IDs start with H (House), S (Senate), or P (President) followed by exactly eight letters or digits.

Search itemized individual contributions (Schedule A) or get aggregate breakdowns by size, state, employer, or occupation. Use to answer "who is funding this committee?" Itemized mode requires a committee_id. Aggregate by_size/by_state can use candidate_id instead.

Search independent expenditures (Schedule E) — outside spending supporting or opposing federal candidates. Covers Super PACs, party committees, and other groups.

Look up federal election races and candidate financial summaries. Find who's running in a race with fundraising totals, or get an aggregate race summary.

Search FEC legal documents: advisory opinions, enforcement cases (MURs), alternative dispute resolutions, administrative fines, and statutes. The citation, penalty, respondent, ao_number, and case_number filters each apply to only some document types; with type omitted, the search returns only the types every one of them applies to. Each response is held to 100,000 bytes: when a page would exceed

Fetch one FEC legal document — advisory opinion, MUR, ADR, administrative fine, or statute — by its type and number. openfec_search_legal replaces each result's documents and dispositions arrays with a count and category summary and cuts every commission vote down to a date and a 200-character action; this returns the record as upstream sends it, whole when it fits the 100,000-byte response bu

Look up FEC calendar events, filing deadlines, and election dates. Use to find upcoming filing windows for a committee, locate when a federal election occurred, or scope FEC events by date range and category.
