LegiScan MCP — wraps the LegiScan API (api.legiscan.com)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tool | Description |
| Full-text search US state (and federal) legislation to find out what bills are about a given topic. Searches one state or nationwide (ALL) and returns matching bills with number, title, state, last action, and a LegiScan bill_id you can pass to get_bill. Example: search_bills({ query: "data privacy", state: "CA" }) |
| Get the full detail for a single US legislative bill — status, sponsors (name/party/role), subjects, and links to the bill text. Use the bill_id returned by search_bills. Example: get_bill({ bill_id: 1234567 }) |
| List the legislative sessions for a US state (regular and special), with start/end years and session IDs. Useful to scope which session to track bills in. Example: list_sessions({ state: "NY" }) |
