What you can do with it

  • Search bills across all 50 states and DC by keyword, sponsor, committee or status
  • Find what a named legislator or witness said in hearings on a topic
  • Pull the full labelled transcript of a committee hearing

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer regular state-legislation briefings or monitoring reports to trade groups and small firms, using the tool to do the research quickly.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Monitor state bills and hearing testimony that affect your industry without paying for a tracking service
  • Prepare policy briefings or client updates quickly by summarising what legislators said on a topic

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Add it to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.gavelin.ai/mcp

This one runs on the maker's server, not your computer, so what you send it leaves your machine.

From the official MCP Registry (ai.gavelin/mcp). Only connect MCP servers you trust: they can act on your behalf.

Getting it running

Sign up at gavelin.ai for a free API key, then add the server URL and bearer token to your MCP client's config file.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • The server itself is proprietary and hosted; the MIT licence covers only the documentation
  • Needs an API key and is rate-limited on the free tier
  • Hearing transcripts cover only a growing number of states, not all 50
  • Very new project with minimal community adoption
