CivicDataForge Public-Records Data

CivicDataForge — Official Public-Records Data for AI Agents

Developer guides: discover tools before billing · inspect the Bengaluru sample.

n8n: open our approved template in n8n's library · setup and result guide. Validate one public property request before a separate purchase; no credentials, evidence retrieval or automatic purchase in this bounded client.

Start with one request: try the no-charge input and purchase-option check, or copy the cURL walkthrough. This validates request syntax and current purchase options; it does not retrieve evidence, establish record coverage, or initiate payment.

CivicDataForge gives MCP-compatible agents structured access to official government records through a stable credential-safe MCP relay backed by Apify. The official bundle exposes ten focused tools across unified evidence routing, property compliance, healthcare integrity, regulated-facility safety, and Norwegian company evidence. Additional research products remain discoverable in the public catalog without bloating the default MCP tool set.

Pricing at a glance

Tool discovery and the request check are free. Evidence calls are paid per result:

• Apify Store (Government Evidence Gateway): $0.01 per Actor start plus $0.10 per evidence packet on Apify's Free plan, lower on paid Apify plans.
• AWS Marketplace API/MCP: $0.10 per successful evidence request; failed requests and idempotent retries are not billed.
• One-off audits and weekly permit monitoring are also available.

Add the remote MCP server

Use this Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/mcp

In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http civicdataforge https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/mcp

Public initialize and tools/list discovery work without a credential. The hosted gateway supports two explicit caller-owned paths:

• For CivicDataForge's metered hosted evidence gateway, send the issued CivicDataForge key as either Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CIVICDATAFORGE_KEY or X-CivicDataForge-Key: YOUR_CIVICDATAFORGE_KEY.
• For direct Apify-backed Actor calls, send your own Apify token in X-Apify-Token:

X-Apify-Token: YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN

The hosted CivicDataForge path meters successful bounded evidence requests through its active commercial route; direct Actor calls remain caller-owned Apify usage. Each Actor has its own pricing, input schema, source notes, and usage limits on its Store page. Never send a CivicDataForge key to an Actor endpoint. On the shared remote MCP endpoint, keep the credential types in their documented headers and never send both in one request.

Run the installable stdio gateway

This repository also contains a credential-safe stdio distribution for MCP clients and Glama deployments. Its ten schemas are available during discovery without a credential. Calls require the installing user's own APIFY_TOKEN; the gateway never embeds a developer token and never returns the token in results.

npm ci

APIFY_TOKEN=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN npm start

For an MCP client, use node /absolute/path/to/server.mjs as the command and supply APIFY_TOKEN through the client's secret environment configuration. Successful calls return the Apify run ID, dataset ID, status, and up to 1,000 dataset rows. Larger outputs remain available from the caller-owned Apify dataset.

Portable GitHub and ModelScope configuration

MCP clients and ModelScope can install the open bridge directly from the canonical GitHub repository. The bridge does not contain a CivicDataForge or Apify credential. Tool discovery works without a token; each caller supplies APIFY_TOKEN for actual Actor runs.

{

"mcpServers": { "civicdataforge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:equinoxaifinance-rgb/civicdataforge-mcp"], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } }

This GitHub install route is the current portable STDIO path. Clients that support remote MCP directly can use the hosted endpoint https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/mcp described above instead.

简体中文：接入与使用边界

CivicDataForge 为支持 MCP 的智能体提供结构化政府公开记录。默认网关包含统一证据路由器与九个聚焦工具，覆盖 房产合规、医疗排除名单、受监管设施安全与挪威企业证据。每条结果都应保留官方来源链接、覆盖范围与对应 Actor 的数据限制；这些数据用于研究和合规辅助，不替代主管机关的最终认定。

当前可用的远程 Streamable HTTP 接入地址为：

https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/mcp

公开的 initialize 与 tools/list 无需凭证。首次使用可先访问 免费请求检查，它不检索记录，也不发起付款。 托管证据网关使用已激活的 CivicDataForge 密钥，通过 Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CIVICDATAFORGE_KEY 传递。 如选择直接运行 Apify Actor，则使用调用方自己的 X-Apify-Token: YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN。同一请求不要同时发送两类密钥。 CivicDataForge 不在仓库、npm 包或返回结果中嵌入发布者 Token。

简体中文完整接入手册提供两个从单一标识符到证据凭证的可复制路径：一个已支持美国辖区的 物业地址，以及一个印度公司 CIN。手册明确列出同步 REST 端点、输入、来源字段、新鲜度字段、 SHA-256 凭证和生产异步运行方式：

印度公司 Actor 不在十工具默认网关中；需要时可通过统一证据路由器调用或单独加载：

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=civicdataforge/india-company-registry

该中文入口只提供现有美国房产证据和印度公司证据，不声称中国企业登记数据库、GSXT 批量 API 或中国本地官方记录覆盖。

ModelScope 与本地 MCP 客户端可直接从官方 GitHub 仓库安装开放网关：

{

"mcpServers": { "civicdataforge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:equinoxaifinance-rgb/civicdataforge-mcp"], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } }

该 GitHub 安装方式和上方 Apify 托管网关均为当前可用路径。十个默认工具包括统一证据路由器、短租许可、佛罗里达州住宿执照、 房产违规、HHS-OIG LEIE 医疗排除名单、餐厅检查、多州与德州托育许可、EPA ECHO 设施证据和挪威企业证据。

挪威企业数据适用 NLOD 2.0，可在遵守署名、变更说明及其他许可条件下商业再利用；但若记录含个人数据， 购买方仍须针对自己的处理目的审查隐私义务与合法依据。该 Actor 排除自然人角色、联系人和街道地址行， 且不输出 KYC、采购、制裁或资格裁决。

这些工具不是消费者报告，不得作为信贷、保险、就业、住房或其他资格决定的唯一依据。 使用者应核对原始政府记录，并遵守每个数据源的适用条款和限制。

Current tools

The official bundle is intentionally limited to the unified gateway plus nine focused tools. India company-registry, cross-border restricted-party evidence, and NYC film-permit products remain available through their Actor pages and focused suite-specific MCP URLs in the public catalog.

Norway source-rights and availability boundary

The Norway Actor uses the official Brønnøysundregistrene Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities and labels output under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD) 2.0. NLOD permits commercial copying, modification, combination, and distribution subject to attribution, change disclosure, and its exclusions. That permission does not replace a buyer-specific privacy and legal-basis review where a record bears personal data. The Actor deliberately omits natural-person roles, direct contacts, and street address lines.

The 2026-08-23 logged-out readback returned HTTP 200 for both the public Store page and Actor API. The API identifies public Actor L9veafufAtLFNgiWP and binds both latest and norway-public-candidate to successful build mnKblLCjPc0BdqrME, version 0.1.3. The provider deployment receipt records bounded owned canary run 6xyIIolQYf3d1u0KR as SUCCEEDED with one exact-identifier MATCH for organisation number 974760673; this is deployment verification, not external customer usage. The canary run and dataset objects are not public evidence surfaces—their logged-out API routes returned HTTP 403—so use the public Actor/API metadata plus caller-owned run receipts for downstream verification.

Fastest proof path

The public Orlando task runs the STR Actor with a bounded input and exposes the resulting official records, field structure, source links, and integration routes:

https://apify.com/civicdataforge/str-permit-registry/examples/check-orlando-str-permits

For a downloadable evaluation artifact, the website publishes a 100-row STR sample covering the verified 29-jurisdiction evaluation release together with a SHA-256 checksum:

Use boundary

These tools support research and compliance workflows. They are not consumer reports and must not be used as the sole basis for credit, insurance, employment, housing, or other eligibility decisions. Preserve the official source links and review the source-specific limitations documented by each Actor.
