Implementation Reference

• src/server.ts:697-728 (handler)

  Executes the 'get_electioneering' tool: validates input with Zod schema matching the registered inputSchema, applies rate limiting, queries the OpenFEC '/electioneering' API endpoint with provided filters, and returns the paginated JSON results as MCP tool content.

  private async handleGetElectioneering(args: any) {
    const schema = z.object({
      committee_id: z.string().optional(),
      candidate_id: z.string().optional(),
      min_date: z.string().optional(),
      max_date: z.string().optional(),
      min_amount: z.number().optional(),
      max_amount: z.number().optional(),
      sort: z.enum(['asc', 'desc']).optional()
    });
  
    const params = schema.parse(args);
    this.rateLimiter.consumeToken();
  
    const response = await this.axiosInstance.get('/electioneering', {
      params: {
        ...params,
        sort_hide_null: true,
        sort: params.sort === 'desc' ? '-disbursement_amount' : 'disbursement_amount',
        per_page: 20
      }
    });
  
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/server.ts:278-311 (schema)

  Defines the input schema for the 'get_electioneering' tool, specifying optional parameters for filtering electioneering communications data from the OpenFEC API.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',

      committee_id: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Optional: FEC committee ID'
      },
      candidate_id: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Optional: FEC candidate ID'
      },
      min_date: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Optional: Minimum disbursement date (YYYY-MM-DD)'
      },
      max_date: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Optional: Maximum disbursement date (YYYY-MM-DD)'
      },
      min_amount: {
        type: 'number',
        description: 'Optional: Minimum disbursement amount'
      },
      max_amount: {
        type: 'number',
        description: 'Optional: Maximum disbursement amount'
      },
      sort: {
        type: 'string',
        enum: ['asc', 'desc'],
        description: 'Optional: Sort by disbursement amount'
      }
    }
  }
