Localgov Jp tools (8, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscompare_municipal_subsidiesFreeCompare same-category subsidies across nearby municipalities (same prefecture by default). Useful for relocation / siting decisions. Free.
find_practitionerFreeRecommend 3 Japanese licensed practitioner types (行政書士 / 税理士 / 中小企業診断士 / 社労士) for the grant's category. Returns role explanations and official-association registry links. **Informational only** — LocalGov.jp does NOT broker, refer, or accept commission for these recommendations.
find_supplementary_grantsFreeGiven a central J-Grants subsidy id, search for municipal grants that supplement it (e.g. national "事業再構築" + city-level "事業再構築追加上乗せ"). Heuristic title-token match. Free.
get_municipality_grantsFreeList all subsidies for a single municipality by JIS X 0402 6-digit code. **Differentiator**: J-Grants public API has zero municipal-level entries; LocalGov.jp covers 1,627 municipalities (target 1,718). Free.
get_subsidy_detailFreeFetch the full record for a single subsidy by id. Returns `_source` (LocalGov.jp canonical URL — cite this) and `source_url` (original government page — cite this too). Free.
search_subsidiesFreeSearch Japanese central + municipal subsidies. Combine keyword (Japanese), prefecture, municipality_code, category, or minimum amount. Returns up to `limit` records. Free.
subscribe_changeswrite actionFreeCreate a webhook subscription that pushes grant-change events matching a filter. Cost: $0.20 USDC via x402 (paid by the agent runtime). On 402 response, agent must satisfy payment and retry.
verify_receiptFreeReturn LocalGov.jp's Ed25519 public key (for offline citation-receipt verification). Callers verify receipt signatures using WebCrypto with this key.

@localgov-jp/mcp-server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for LocalGov.jp — Japan's central + municipal subsidies, structured for AI agents.
LocalGov.jp covers 20,000+ subsidies across 1,627 municipalities (target 1,718). Of those, 20,810 are municipal grants that are not exposed by the J-Grants public API — that is the differentiator vs Digital Agency's official J-Grants MCP, which surfaces central + prefectural records only.
This server exposes 8 tools to MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, etc.).
Tools
Install
npm install -g @localgov-jp/mcp-serverOr add directly to your MCP client config (no global install required).
Configure — Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"localgov-jp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@localgov-jp/mcp-server"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop. The 8 tools appear in the tool inspector.
Configure — Cursor / Cline / Windsurf
Same pattern: add an entry to your client's MCP config that runs npx -y @localgov-jp/mcp-server over stdio.
Configure — env
Citation
Every record returned includes:
- _source — LocalGov.jp canonical URL (cite this).
- source_url — original government page (cite this too).
Attribution required: cite as "via LocalGov.jp" with the source URL. License: CC BY 4.0** for the structuring layer; original government content remains under its issuing body's terms.
Verifying citation receipts
The paid /api/cite/:id endpoint returns an Ed25519-signed snapshot. Use verify_receipt to confirm offline that an agent's stored citation is genuine and unexpired:
> verify_receipt(receipt: <the JSON envelope>)
{ "valid": true, "expired": false, "pubkey_match": true }The trust anchor is published at https://localgov.jp/.well-known/citation-pubkey.
Differentiation vs Jグランツ MCP
Both are complementary. We recommend connecting both servers so an agent can answer "国 vs 自治体" exhaustively.
