Oravan tools (5)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • get_billFree

    Get the full plain-language decode of a federal bill by slug (e.g. "hr-2701-119") or citation (e.g. "H.R. 2701" - resolves to the most recent Congress on a match). Returns the AI-generated summary (headline, tl;dr, what/who/why/cost - automatically checked before publish and clearly labeled when present), the official status in plain language, an urgency band, sponsor, key dates, the official Congress.gov page, and an act_url to Oravan's on-site call flow. This tool never drafts a phone script - script generation happens only on-site, where the caller reads and can edit the script before dialing; that is not available over this API.

  • get_representativeFree

    Get full details for one member of Congress by bioguide ID (e.g. "W000797"), plus their 5 most recently active sponsored bills. Facts only: no scorecards, ratings, or vote grades.

  • lookup_representativesFree

    Look up a person's U.S. House member and two Senators by 5-digit ZIP code. Returns each member's name, party, phone, official website, portrait URL, and district office phone numbers - the number a constituent should actually call. Some ZIP codes span more than one congressional district (needs_address: true, all candidate districts returned); this tool does not perform address-level refinement itself in this release - point the person to the response's reps_url, where a stateless, unlogged Census-geocoder proxy narrows it to a single district from a street address that Oravan never stores. When a House seat currently has no member, `vacancies` lists the empty seat(s) (state + district) explicitly - the departed member is never returned as if still serving, and no election timeline is implied.

  • search_billsFree

    Search Oravan's bilingual federal bill corpus by free-text query, issue topic, status, or active-only. Returns short teasers (headline, status, urgency) for matching bills, most urgent first.

  • whats_movingFree

    What's moving in Congress recently: active, plain-language-decoded bills that cleared Oravan's 'act now' urgency bar within the last N days (default 7), optionally filtered by topic. Returns an honest empty list with quiet_week: true when nothing has cleared the bar - this tool never pads the list to look busier than Congress actually is this week. If the list is empty because Oravan's own data sync looks stale rather than Congress being quiet, data_stale is set instead so that distinction is never lost.

Oravan

Your line to Congress · Tu línea con el Congreso

Oravan is free, nonpartisan civic infrastructure: find your federal representatives, understand active bills in plain language (English and Spanish), get a 30-second call script, and make the call — in under 5 minutes, with no account.

The name is the Oravan: the platform in the Roman Forum where citizens stood to address the public and the powerful — the original place a voice met power. Latin roots are the shared ancestry of English and Spanish alike.

MCP server

This repository also implements a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — the same decoded corpus and lookups, exposed for AI assistants and agents:

  • Endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://oravan.org/api/mcp/mcp — keyless, read-only, rate-limited; no account or credentials required
  • Local/stdio: npm ci then npx tsx scripts/mcp-stdio.mjs — the same 5 tools over stdio, zero env vars/secrets required
  • Implementation: app/api/mcp/[transport]/route.ts (built on mcp-handler + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk), tool definitions shared with the stdio entry via lib/core/mcp-tools.ts, pure data layer in lib/core/
  • Five tools: lookuprepresentatives, getbill, searchbills, whatsmoving, get_representative — every response carries a citation envelope (source, as-of freshness, AI-content label, license) in English or Spanish
  • Official MCP Registry: published as org.oravan/mcp (server.json at the repo root, schema-validated in CI by scripts/check-server-json.mjs)
  • Docs: oravan.org/mcp (tool reference, client config, privacy posture) · docs/mcp-server-readme.md
