Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

US public-records intelligence for AI agents — companies, SEC, courts, spending, licenses.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http pubrecords https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/mcp/ --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pubrecords": {
      "url": "https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "pubrecords": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is Pubrecords 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?

You need to fill in: X-API-Key

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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 6 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?

Halverson IQ Data

One paid MCP server for US public records, federal grants, and federal contracts. Companies, SEC filings, court dockets, spending awards, licenses, Grants.gov opportunities, and SAM.gov contract notices share a single API key and a single bill.


What this server includes

This repository is the combined Halverson IQ Data server.

SourceTools
OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR, CourtListener, USASpending, NPPES, FCCPublic-records tools (companies, filings, courts, spending, licenses, entity verification)
Grants.govGrant search, details, agency rollup, deadline radar
SAM.govContract search, notice details, award notices

Not part of this server: business-intel and outdoor datasets (separate or retired), and web-page fetching (a different pipeline with its own fetchers and cache).

One customer key is checked on every tool. Free tier is 30 calls/day across the whole server. Pro is unlimited on the same key. Upgrade: https://mcpize.com/pubrecords-mcp


Pricing

TierPriceLimit
Free$030 calls/day
Pro$29/moUnlimited
Metered$0.03/callPay-as-you-go

Keys are issued per user. Ask the operator for a key, or have them mint one with POST /admin/keys. Examples below use the placeholder YOUR_API_KEY.

focus_areas on the REST route is a comma-separated string. The MCP tool accepts a list.

Contract tools call SAM.gov only when SAM_API_KEY is set. If it is missing they return {"success": false, "error": "SAM_API_KEY is not configured"} and do not send a request.


Install in Claude

claude mcp add --transport http halverson-iq-data https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/mcp/

Note the trailing slash on `/mcp/`. Without it the gateway issues a 307 that drops the POST body, breaking the JSON-RPC handshake.

Then set the API key in your client:

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

Python SDK

A thin Python wrapper for non-MCP integrations lives in pubrecords-sdk/:

pip install pubrecords
from pubrecords import PubRecords

client = PubRecords(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") print(client.health()) print(client.search_companies(name="Apple", state="CA")) print(client.search_grants(keyword="broadband"))


REST surface

Every MCP tool is also available over plain HTTP. Send the same X-API-Key on each call.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \

"https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/tools/search_companies?name=Apple&state=CA"

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/tools/search_grants?keyword=broadband"

Production URL: https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app

GET  /health                          (no auth)

GET /usage (X-API-Key) GET /tools/ ?... (X-API-Key) POST /admin/keys (X-Admin-Token; fails closed) POST /billing/upgrade (X-Admin-Token; fails closed) POST /mcp/ (MCP streamable-http transport)

GET /usage returns the remaining daily quota for that key. GET /health is unauthenticated.

Issuing a customer key

POST /admin/keys and POST /billing/upgrade return 403 unless PUBRECORDS_ADMIN_TOKEN is set and the X-Admin-Token header matches it. There is no default admin token.

curl -X POST https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/admin/keys \

-H "X-Admin-Token: $PUBRECORDS_ADMIN_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"key":"YOUR_API_KEY","tier":"free"}'

Promote that same key to the paid tier (this is the single billing switch):

curl -X POST https://mcp-pubrecords-production.up.railway.app/billing/upgrade \

-H "X-Admin-Token: $PUBRECORDS_ADMIN_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"key":"YOUR_API_KEY"}'


Local development

git clone https://github.com/bch1212/mcp-pubrecords.git

cd mcp-pubrecords python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt cp .env.example .env uvicorn server:app --reload --port 8000

Run tests:

pytest -v

Environment variables (see .env.example):

VariableRequiredPurpose
PUBRECORDS_ADMIN_TOKENYes, to issue or upgrade keysAdmin secret. Missing or blank fails closed (403).
SAM_API_KEYYes, for contract toolsYour SAM.gov key. Never commit a real value.
PUBRECORDS_SEC_USER_AGENTProductionIdentifying User-Agent for SEC EDGAR.
OPENCORPORATES_TOKENNoRaises the OpenCorporates anonymous cap.
COURTLISTENER_TOKENNoRaises the CourtListener anonymous cap.
PUBRECORDS_CACHE_TTLNoCache TTL in seconds (default 86400).
PUBRECORDS_DB_PATHNoSQLite file for cache and API keys.
PORTNoListen port. Railway sets this.

Data freshness

Responses are cached for 24 hours by default.

SourceRefresh cadence
OpenCorporatesDaily / weekly (varies by jurisdiction)
SEC EDGARFilings appear minutes after submission
USASpending.govMonthly, with fiscal-year backfills
CourtListener (RECAP)Daily, depending on uploads
NPPES NPIWeekly
FCC License-ViewDaily
Grants.govPosted opportunities, as the agency updates them
SAM.govContract notices, as contracting offices post them

For fresher queries, set PUBRECORDS_CACHE_TTL=300 (5 minutes). That multiplies upstream traffic.


Data gaps and source limits

The server returns a structured error envelope instead of invented rows when a query is outside coverage.

  1. UCC filings — there is no uniform federal UCC API. get_ucc_filings returns {"error": "not_implemented"} until per-state adapters land.
  2. State professional licenses — healthcare (NPI) and FCC are covered. Bar, real estate, contractor, and CPA licenses are state-by-state.
  3. OpenCorporates rate limits — anonymous traffic is capped. Set OPENCORPORATES_TOKEN for production.
  4. SEC EDGAR full-text — broad terms return wide sets. Combine with form_type.
  5. CourtListener — federal PACER/RECAP. State courts are not guaranteed.
  6. SAM.gov — contract tools do nothing until SAM_API_KEY is set in the environment. Apply at https://sam.gov. The key is not embedded in this repo.
  7. SAM award history — search_awards reads Award Notice rows from the opportunities API. Deeper recipient rollups stay on lookup_federal_spending (USASpending).
  8. Match scores — match_opportunities is deterministic token overlap on title and agency. It does not call a model.
  9. No consumer PII — entity-level public records only.

License and compliance

This server proxies and caches public records that are already free to access from federal and public sources. Cached payloads are kept for 24 hours and can be flushed by deleting the SQLite file. Customer API keys and the admin token belong in the environment and the SQLite key store. Do not commit them.
