Public Interest MCP

Three small, no-key Model Context Protocol servers that make useful public information available to people and AI agents everywhere.

The repository also contains HakBul: a privacy-first Turkish public-service discovery web app and companion AI skill. It translates a plain-language situation into a few official starting points without making eligibility decisions.

Why these three

They meet three tests: their underlying data is public, their reach is international, and an agent can give a useful answer without a paid API key. Together they serve everyday users, travellers, retailers, health-conscious households, suppliers, journalists, NGOs, researchers, developers, and public servants.

Quick start

Requirements: Node.js 20 or newer. Clone the repository, then add one server to your MCP client. For example, in a client configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "civic-data": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/public-interest-mcp/packages/civic-data-mcp/src/index.mjs"]
    }
  }
}

Each package README documents its tools and examples. Servers communicate over standard input/output; logs are written to standard error.

Development

npm test
npm run lint

Status and scope

This is an early, deliberately small implementation. It exposes stable, read-only operations and validates inputs before making remote requests. Source platforms can change or impose rate limits; do not treat outputs as legal, procurement, emergency, or safety advice.
