Ny Authority Debt MCP server

ny-authority-debt

New York public authority debt issuance — which authority borrowed, for what project, on what terms, and when. Sourced from the four Authorities Budget Office datasets New York publishes on data.ny.gov. Keyless.

Coverage

Four authority classes, ~4,470 reported rows:

Each row is one authority's report for one fiscal year. Rows where issueddebtobligations is N mean this authority issued nothing that year — the tools filter to Y so an authority's quiet year never looks like an issue with blank fields.

What this is not

sold and on what terms. Beyond that, most municipal bonds trade infrequently enough to have no current market price at all — what vendors sell as a muni "price" is usually an evaluated price, an estimate rather than a trade. A caller who assumes otherwise will read absence as "no trades happened".

• No secondary-market trade prices. This is primary issuance: what was

one individual bond anywhere, use openfigi_search with marketSecDes: "Muni".

• No CUSIPs. See below.
• New York only. California is covered by ca-debtwatch. For identifying

Two constraints that shaped the code

CUSIP is dropped deliberately. The State Authorities dataset carries a cusip_number column, populated on 1,295 rows with real 9-character CUSIPs. CUSIP identifiers are licensed by CUSIP Global Services, and that licence — not copyright in the underlying facts — is the binding constraint. The column is stripped before anything is returned, there is no CUSIP filter, and nothing is stored. Key on the issuer name here, and on FIGI via openfigi for an individual bond. Do not add it back.

EMMA is linked, never fetched. MSRB's terms are a contract accepted by using EMMA and they forbid building a database from their content. The officialstatementurl this pack returns is a link New York itself published — often to a PDF hosted on emma.msrb.org, sometimes to the authority's own site — and it is passed straight through without being requested or parsed. emmasearchurl is a composed search link, named for what it honestly is: the path returns 200, but the page is script-driven and we deliberately do not parse it, so it may not pre-fill the search.

Gotcha: Socrata catalog search federates across states

Querying another state's Socrata catalog (e.g. data.texas.gov) returns these same dataset ids, because the catalog API federates. Texas does not publish them. Always check metadata.domain on a catalog hit before attributing a dataset to a state — verified 2026-09-01 that all four report domain: data.ny.gov.
