gov-policy-mcp

MCP server for China's State Council policy document library.

China publishes every State Council policy document (国务院文件) on gov.cn — but there is no public API and no documentation for its search backend. This server reverse-engineers the internal JSON endpoint and exposes it as an MCP tool, so an AI agent can look up official policy text and document numbers in one call.

Known limits (upstream)

• Search is keyword based — no boolean operators, no date range in this endpoint version.

• Results include both exact and loose matches; the <em> highlight tags are stripped.

• Chinese only. The upstream index does not handle English well.

• Undocumented endpoint: if it breaks, the mapping lives in src/index.ts (SEARCH + the PolicyRecord mapping) and is a small fix.

• ggzy-mcp — same pattern, applied to the national tender / procurement platform (全国公共资源交易平台).

Why this exists

Part of a small set of adapters that give AI agents access to Chinese data sources that have no API.
