@pipeworx/openparliament-ca

OpenParliament.ca MCP — civic-tech mirror of the Parliament of Canada. House of Commons debates (Hansard), bills, votes, MPs, committee meetings. No auth.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Note: this is a community-maintained project (Michael Mulley et al.) — not the official Library of Parliament APIs (which are XML-only and awkward). OpenParliament.ca ingests and republishes the data with a clean REST surface.

Tools

• search_debates(query, date_from?, date_to?, politician?, party?, limit?, offset?) — Hansard contributions

• list_bills(session?, sponsor?, status?, limit?, offset?) — Parliament bills

• get_bill(session, number) — bill detail

• list_votes(session?, limit?, offset?) — recorded votes in the House

• list_politicians(current?, party?, province?, name?, limit?, offset?) — current + historic MPs

• get_politician(slug) — MP profile

• list_committees(session?, limit?, offset?) — House committees

• list_committee_meetings(committee_slug?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?) — meetings

Data source

https://api.openparliament.ca/ — JSON via Accept: application/json or ?format=json.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openparliament-ca": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openparliament-ca/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Openparliament Ca data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
