Common questions

Is Akil MCP - New York City Edition safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.5.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Akil MCP - New York City Edition

NYC public records for AI agents.

Akil MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and custom agents to a hosted civic data layer built around real workflows, reusable identifiers, and source-backed public records.

The product is the hosted MCP server. This repository is the public connection home for developers, evaluators, and partner teams who want to understand what Akil can do before connecting an agent.

Connect

There is nothing to install for normal use.

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.askakil.ai/mcp

Client	How to connect
Claude	Add Akil as a custom connector, paste the MCP URL, and sign in when prompted.
ChatGPT	Use connectors where available, add the MCP URL, and complete the Akil authorization flow.
Codex	Register Akil as a streamable HTTP MCP server. Developer access can send an API key as a bearer token.
Custom agents	Use OAuth for user-authorized sessions or API keys for backend jobs and partner workflows.

Structured output

What agents can do

Akil is organized around civic workflows rather than a single dataset.

Workflow	What the assistant can check
Business location	Permits, licenses, inspections, operating context, and location constraints
Property diligence	Ownership, tax-lot identity, deeds, sales, permits, violations, and tax records
Public money	Awards, payments, contracts, agency budgets, and recipient history
Influence and government	Lobbying, campaign finance, legislation, votes, hearings, and officeholder context
Organization checks	Nonprofit registries, audits, funding history, compliance records, and aliases
Spatial questions	Address, BBL, district, neighborhood, radius, polygon, corridor, and time-windowed queries

Why this exists

A general model can reason. Akil gives it records to reason from.

The useful part is not the number of tools. It is that fragmented public records come back with stable identifiers, source context, and next steps an assistant can actually follow.

Anchor-first design

Akil responses are designed to keep agents oriented around durable civic identifiers:

flowchart LR

Q["User question"] --> A["Anchor"] A --> BBL["BBL / tax lot"] A --> EIN["EIN / organization"] A --> Agency["Agency"] A --> District["District / boundary"] A --> License["License / application"] A --> Time["Time window"] BBL --> R["Source-backed answer"] EIN --> R Agency --> R District --> R License --> R Time --> R

BBL for tax lots, buildings, ownership, permits, sales, tax records, and violations
EIN for nonprofits, audits, awards, filings, and organization checks
Agency for budgets, contracts, payments, rules, hearings, and payroll context
District or other boundaries for place-based questions
License and application identifiers for regulated businesses
Time window for bounded, usable queries

These anchors let an assistant move from one public record system to another without losing the subject of the question.

Example prompts

I am looking at a storefront lease. What public records should I check before signing?

Who owns this building, and are there recent permits or violations tied to the tax lot?

Show public funding, contracts, and payments tied to this organization.

What changed in this council district over the last year?

Is this restaurant, liquor, tobacco, cannabis, or sidewalk-cafe location worth checking more closely?

Server Card: https://mcp.askakil.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (also at /.well-known/mcp.json)
OAuth resource metadata: https://mcp.askakil.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728)
Protocol: serves current-era MCP clients (protocol revision 2026-07-28) and 2025-era legacy clients on the same endpoint
Health: https://mcp.askakil.ai/health reports version and live tool count
Tool behavior: every tool is read-only and non-destructive, declares MCP safety annotations, returns a source-attribution footer, and states plainly when a search is capped or empty
