Senado Brasil MCP Server
🇧🇷 Leia em Português
A public, hosted MCP server that gives AI assistants live, structured access to Brazilian Senate open data — no installation, no account, no API key. Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint and start asking about senators, bills, votes, expenses, and more. It runs on Cloudflare Workers over Streamable HTTP.
It exposes 69 tools, 4 prompts, and 5 resources across two domains:
- Legislative — senators; bills and their tramitation; votes; committees; plenary sessions, results and presidential vetoes; party-bloc voting orientation; speeches and stenographic transcripts; blocs and leadership; federal legislation; and citizen participation via the e-Cidadania portal.
- Administrative — CEAPS parliamentary-quota expenses; housing allowance; civil servants and payroll; overtime; interns; procurement contracts and biddings; outsourced staff; petty-cash funds; and budget execution.
Data comes from three official sources — the legislative open-data API, the administrative open-data API, and the e-Cidadania portal. All tool responses are in Portuguese (pt-BR). See CHANGELOG.md for release history.
See it in action
Point a client at the endpoint and ask in plain language — English or Portuguese:
- "How did São Paulo's senators vote in the most recent floor votes?" →
senado_search_votacoes
- "Show the legislative progress of PEC 45/2019 (a constitutional amendment proposal)." →
senado_buscar_materias + senado_obter_materia
- "How much was spent on the CEAPS parliamentary allowance in 2024, broken down by expense type?" →
senado_ceaps
The answers come live from the Senate's official open-data APIs — exact figures with provenance, not numbers guessed from training data.
Use it (hosted — no setup)
This is a remote, hosted, open-access server. To use it, point any MCP client at the Streamable
HTTP endpoint — no install, no account, no API key, no configuration:
https://senado.sidneybissoli.com/mcp
OpenAI / ChatGPT app surface
For OpenAI Apps SDK submission and review, the Worker also exposes a curated MCP surface:
https://senado.sidneybissoli.com/mcp/openai-app-v2
This endpoint intentionally keeps the full public MCP server intact at /mcp, but limits tool discovery
to 27 high-signal, intent-oriented tools for ChatGPT app use. /mcp/openai-app remains available as a
legacy alias, but new ChatGPT app configurations should use /mcp/openai-app-v2 so clients fetch the
current tool schema. The tools still call the same handlers and return the same provenance envelope; only
the advertised surface is narrower. Any ChatGPT app listing should present this as an independent open-data
research app, not as an official Senate, OpenAI or ChatGPT connector.
For ChatGPT Apps, those 27 tools also advertise a shared MCP Apps UI template at
ui://senado-br-mcp/openai-app-dashboard-v2.html. The self-contained widget renders the returned
structuredContent as a compact dashboard with metrics, main records, and source/provenance, without
adding another model-visible data tool.

ChatGPT (Deep Research)
ChatGPT deep research (and company knowledge, and research workflows over the Responses API) only uses an MCP server that exposes exactly search and fetch — this server does, on top of the senado_* tools, on the full /mcp surface (not on the curated app profile). Point the connector at the hosted endpoint, no key required:
https://senado.sidneybissoli.com/mcp
search ranks the query against the senators in office and the active committees of the Senate and the National Congress and returns { id, title, url } (sen:<código> / com:<código>); fetch returns the document as readable Markdown — the senator's biography and mandates, or the committee's summary and board — with the canonical public page (the senator's profile on www25.senado.leg.br or the committee page on legis.senado.leg.br), which is what ChatGPT cites. Both carry the same provenance block as every other tool, in structuredContent and _meta (the text channel is the contract's JSON). In ChatGPT's developer mode (Settings → Security and login → Developer mode) any tool is callable — the senado_* tools remain the ones to use for data.
Install (any client)
For clients that launch MCP servers as a command — and for one-command setup — use the
mcp-remote bridge. No build, no config, no key:
npx -y mcp-remote https://senado.sidneybissoli.com/mcp
Everything below Architecture (Prerequisites, Setup, Deploy) is only for optionally self-hosting your
own instance — it is not required to use this public server.
Run locally (npx · stdio)
Prefer not to route queries through a third-party host (e.g. a newsroom policy)? The same server
also runs as a local stdio process that talks directly to the official government APIs — same
69 tools, same provenance envelope, no Cloudflare in the loop. This is the npm/stdio channel, published
as senado-br-mcp.
Point a command-based client (Claude Desktop/Code, etc.) at the package — npm fetches and runs it,
no clone or build:
{
"mcpServers": {
"senado-br": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "senado-br-mcp"]
}
}
}
To run it directly or hack on it, use the source checkout instead:
git clone https://github.com/SidneyBissoli/senado-br-mcp-cloudflare
cd senado-br-mcp-cloudflare
npm install
npm run build
node dist/cli.js
Parity with the hosted server: the legislative and administrative tools are identical (same
upstream APIs, same throttle/cache/provenance) — locally the L1 Cloudflare cache is a no-op, but the L0
in-memory cache still works, so results are the same. The only difference is the e-Cidadania
list/corpus tools: without D1 they fall back to a live scrape of the ~5 REST highlights, flagged via
meta.fonte / possivelDesatualizacao; the detail tools (obter_*) are identical. Logs go to
stderr — stdout carries only the JSON-RPC protocol stream.
Agent Skill (optional)
This repo bundles a Claude Agent Skill
at .claude/skills/senado-br/ that teaches Claude when to reach for
this server and how to use its 69 tools well — a themed tool map, common question→tool playbooks, the
provenance contract, and gotchas (dates, the codigoMateria bridge, e-Cidadania's open-set listing, pagination).
It points back to the server's own senado://catalogo / senado://guia resources rather than duplicating them.
Claude Code auto-discovers it when you work in this repo. To use it elsewhere, copy
.claude/skills/senado-br/ into your ~/.claude/skills/, or zip the folder and upload it in claude.ai
(Settings → Features). The skill assumes the senado-br MCP server is connected (hosted or via npx).
Architecture
- Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (ESM)
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26) via
createMcpHandler from agents/mcp
- Protocol: MCP over JSON-RPC —
/mcp handles the full public server; /mcp/openai-app-v2 exposes a curated 27-tool profile plus a shared MCP Apps widget for OpenAI app review/submission (/mcp/openai-app remains as a legacy alias)
- SDK:
@modelcontextprotocol/server 2.x (per-request McpServer instances; the v1 @modelcontextprotocol/sdk remains only as a peer of agents, dev-time)
- Validation: Zod schemas for all tool inputs
- Caching: 2-layer (L0 memory + L1 Cache API) with SHA-256 keying
- e-Cidadania store: D1 database refreshed by a Cron Trigger (every 2h) — list tools read from D1 with a live-scrape fallback and a staleness flag; detail tools stay live with write-through (see e-Cidadania)
- Rate limiting: Token bucket — global (8 req/s) + per-client (2 req/s)
- Upstream throttle: Max 6 concurrent requests, 10s timeout, retry with exponential backoff
- Auth: Optional Bearer token (set the
API_KEY secret; open access when unset). Constant-time comparison.
- Observability: Structured JSON logging + in-memory counters at
/metrics; per-tool call telemetry (selection, error rate, cache-vs-live) in Cloudflare Analytics Engine, PII-free
- Liveness: Runs on Cloudflare's own global network behind a custom domain — no third-party host that can go dark. Public
/health and /status (version + last-deploy id/timestamp) make uptime and the current build verifiable; the status badge above pings the live endpoint
- Tests: Vitest unit tests for parsers, helpers, cache, throttle, and auth
Self-hosting (optional)
Not needed to use the server — it is already hosted at https://senado.sidneybissoli.com/mcp
(open access). Follow this section only if you want to run your own private instance.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+ (
engines.node)
- Wrangler CLI v4+
- Cloudflare account
Setup
1. Install dependencies
2. Create KV namespace
wrangler kv namespace create CACHE_KV
Replace the placeholder KV namespace ID:
[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "CACHE_KV"
id = "YOUR_KV_NAMESPACE_ID_HERE"
Optionally set ALLOWED_ORIGIN to restrict CORS:
[vars]
ALLOWED_ORIGIN = "https://your-app.example.com"
The e-Cidadania pipeline needs a D1 database and a Cron Trigger (both already declared in wrangler.toml — replace the database ID):
[[d1_databases]]
binding = "ECIDADANIA_DB"
database_name = "senado-ecidadania"
database_id = "YOUR_D1_DATABASE_ID_HERE"
[triggers]
crons = ["0 */2 * * *"]
Create the database (paste the returned ID above) and apply the schema:
npx wrangler d1 create senado-ecidadania
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply senado-ecidadania --remote
The list tools fall back to live scraping when D1 is empty, so the server works before the first Cron run.
4. (Optional) Enable authentication
wrangler secret put API_KEY
5. Local development
6. Tests and typecheck
npm test
npm run test:watch
npm run typecheck
7. Deploy

e-Cidadania (D1-backed, Cron-refreshed)
The e-Cidadania list data is persisted in a D1 database (ecidadania_current/_history/_scrape_runs, discriminated by entidade; plus ecidadania_comentarios for the audiência comment level and ecidadania_detalhe_cursor for the resumable detail backfill — added in schema v2) and read from there instead of being scraped on every call. Three cadences write into it:
- a daily off-Worker GitHub Action owns the full corpus of the three live entities (
consultas, eventos, ideias; see below) — the source of truth. Daily (not weekly) because the first-seen series MIN(scraped_at) is the only measurable entry-rhythm signal and every skipped day permanently shortens it (ROADMAP Etapa 2, decisão D3);
- a weekly ingest Action (
.github/workflows/verify-consultas-votos.yml — historical filename) for the consultas_votos acervo: the Senado republishes the Arquimedes CSV periodically (confirmed 2026-07-20), so the weekly run re-ingests the current vintage under the same anomaly guards as the other corpora (see below);
- an in-Worker Cron Trigger (
0 */2 * * *, src/scraper/pipeline.ts → refreshEcidadania) does only a targeted metric splice of the ~5 REST highlights per live entity (restcolecaomaismateria/ideia/audiencia — votos/comentários/apoios), recorded as ok-metrica so it never re-breaks the corpus baseline and never touches the long tail. In v2 the eventos splice preserves the corpus's canonical comment count (the daily crawl is the source of truth for comentarios, so the splice can't ping-pong it against the degraded REST count).
Both writers build payloads through the canonical buildXResumo builders + shared contentHash, so their rows are byte-identical. Each write:
- upserts
ecidadania_current (one row per item — what the tools read),
- appends
ecidadania_history only when an item's content_hash changes (time-series-ready),
- records each run in
ecidadania_scrape_runs.
An anomaly guard (src/scraper/anomaly.ts, classifyRun) ensures a failed or anomalous corpus run (zero rows, or fewer than ECIDADANIA_CORPUS_MIN_PCT% of the last good run) never overwrites the last good state.
The list / analysis tools (listar_*, consultas_analise, sugerir_tema_enquete, consultas_votos) read from D1 via resolveList (src/scraper/store.ts): D1-first. Because every entity is now a full corpus, a stale corpus is served from D1 flagged (possivelDesatualizacao: true) rather than collapsing to the ~5-item live highlights (the original coverage bug); the live scrape is reserved for an empty D1 (cold start, before the first weekly run). Staleness uses ECIDADANIA_CORPUS_STALE_MAX_MIN (~10 days). Every list response carries an additive meta (fonte, lastScrapedAt, possivelDesatualizacao) so callers always see the data's real age and never get stale data silently.
The detail tools (obter_*) stay live (HTML scraped with CSS-class-targeted regex) for freshness, and write their richer payload through to ecidadania_detalhe fire-and-forget (deduped by content_hash), so detail history accrues without adding latency to the response.
Full-corpus ingestion (off-Worker)
The three live e-Cidadania corpora are owned by the daily Action (.github/workflows/ingest-ecidadania.yml), each with its own scripts/ingest-ecidadania/index-*.ts orchestrator emitting batched out-*.sql the apply step bulk-loads:
consultas — open consultations (detailed below). In v2 each crawled matter is also enriched from its detail page (visualizacaomateria) for autoria/relator; those are immutable, so only rows not yet enriched are fetched.eventos — audiências/eventos from the principalaudiencia?p=N HTML listing; status comes straight from the listing block (no /processo bridge). In v2 every event is enriched from its detail page (canonical data/hora + comissaoNomeCompleto/local/descricao/pauta/convidados/videoUrl) and its AJAX comment fragment (canonical count + one ecidadania_comentarios row per comment, diffed against the stored hashes and emitted as out-eventos-comentarios-*.sql).ideias — ideias legislativas (~113.7k) from pesquisaideia?situacao=N&p=M, crawled per situacao bucket (the listing has no inline status) and emitted in ~10k-statement batches. In v2 the listing crawl preserves the immutable detail fields, and a separate resumable backfill (index-ideias-detalhe.ts, run via ingest:ecidadania:ideias-detalhe) fills them a chunk per run — because ~113.7k detail fetches don't fit one Action, it persists a cursor in ecidadania_detalhe_cursor and wraps around at the end.
The fourth entity, consultas_votos, is a separate historical acervo of votes-by-UF parsed from the ~33 MB Arquimedes CSV (Proposições-com-votos.csv), aggregated to one record per matéria with a votosPorUf breakdown. The CSV's "dados atualizados até" stamp becomes the provenance data_vintage; it is excluded from the row hash (consultaVotoCore) so a re-ingest with unchanged votes doesn't churn _history. STATUS ATUAL is uniformly "Descontinuado", hence archival, not a migration of the open consultations. Served by senado_ecidadania_consultas_votos with provenance pointing at the CSV (ECIDADANIA_ARQUIMEDES). It is excluded from the daily job and owned by its own weekly ingest Action (.github/workflows/verify-consultas-votos.yml — the filename keeps the historical verify- prefix): the acervo was originally treated as a frozen single vintage (ROADMAP Etapa 2, decisão D1) and the weekly run only verified it, but on 2026-07-20 the Senado republished the CSV as a fresh vintage (+43 matérias, 648 updated), so the scheduled run now re-ingests the current vintage under the standard anomaly guards (empty/truncated CSV and the catastrophic floor still fail without writing; force dispatch overrides the floor). The script's verify mode (INGEST_CONSULTAS_VOTOS_VERIFY=1 / --verify) remains available as an on-demand integrity check.
The consultas job is the reference implementation:
consultas covers the full set of OPEN consultations — every matter currently in tramitação (~7.7k), not just the ~5 highlights. Confirmed on the first run: the pesquisamateria listing is in-tramitação-only, so closed/historical consultations are not captured by this source (a pre-ingestion historical backfill is out of scope). Three settled design decisions:
- Decoupled ingestion. The open set is acquired by an off-Worker TypeScript job (
scripts/ingest-ecidadania/, run by a daily GitHub Action — .github/workflows/ingest-ecidadania.yml) that paginates the HTML listing (pesquisamateria?p=1..N, the only full-coverage source for open consultations) for ids + vote counts and bulk-loads D1; the Worker only reads. The brittle, long crawl is kept out of the request/Cron path.
- Status from
/processo, not HTML. A consultation runs from presentation until the end of tramitação, so status is a function of the matter: aberta ⟺ the codigoMateria is in the /processo tramitando=S set, derived from robust JSON (never scraped). Every consultation enters as aberta (the listing only yields in-tramitação matters); on each complete run the job re-derives status for all stored rows by /processo membership (not by listing-absence, which can be transient), so a consultation whose matter leaves tramitação flips to encerrada. The encerrada/todas sets therefore grow over time; consultations that closed before the first ingestion aren't captured (out of scope). The list/analysis tools default to status: aberta.
- Two reconciled cadences (one shared writer contract). The job reuses
contentHash + the ConsultaResumo builder + classifyRun from src/scraper/, so its rows are byte-identical to the Cron's. The daily job owns the long tail; the 2h Cron keeps the ~5 hot/open highlights fresh via a targeted metric splice (recorded as ok-metrica, bypassing the corpus classifyRun baseline). Corpus freshness (possivelDesatualizacao) is computed from the last status='ok' run and uses a larger window (ECIDADANIA_CORPUS_STALE_MAX_MIN), and a stale consultas corpus is served from D1 flagged rather than collapsing back to the live highlights.
Write guards on the load: an incomplete crawl (any page failed) or an incomplete /processo status universe writes only an erro run row; even a complete crawl is rejected by a catastrophic floor (ECIDADANIA_CORPUS_MIN_PCT, default 80% of the last good corpus) to guard against a degraded page — overridable with --force / INGEST_FORCE=1 for a legitimate large shrink. Run daily via the Action, or manually:
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=… npm run ingest:ecidadania
npx wrangler d1 execute senado-ecidadania --remote --file=scripts/ingest-ecidadania/out.sql
Caching
Layer architecture
| Layer | Storage | Scope | TTL range | Purpose |
|---|
| L0 | In-memory Map | Per-isolate | 30-300s | Ultra-fast, eliminates redundant requests within a Worker isolate |
| L1 | Cloudflare Cache API (caches.default) | Per-colo (PoP) | 60-600s | Shared across requests at the same edge location |
| L2 | KV (optional) | Global | Variable | Reserved for rare, low-write data |
Cache categories
| Category | L0 TTL | L1 TTL | Used for |
|---|
| STATIC | 300s | 600s | Legislation types, static reference |
| SEMI_STATIC | 120s | 300s | Party list, UF list, committee details |
| DYNAMIC | 30s | 60s | Agendas, recent votes, meeting lists |
| ON_DEMAND | 30s | 120s | Specific bill/senator/vote lookups |
POST caching approach
MCP uses POST for all tools/call requests. Caching POST responses is not natively supported by the Cache API, which requires GET requests. The solution:
- Hash parameters — Tool name + sorted parameters are hashed with SHA-256
- Synthetic GET key — A synthetic URL
https://senado-br-mcp.internal/__cache/{tool}/{hash} is constructed
- Cache API match/put — The synthetic GET URL is used with
caches.default.match() and caches.default.put(), allowing standard Cache API operations on POST-originated data
This caching happens at the tool level (inside each tool's callback), not at the MCP transport level.
Provenance
Every tool attaches a provenance envelope so a result is traceable back to its official source — provenance is treated as a first-class part of the answer, not an optional extra (the audience is journalists and political-science researchers, for whom an un-sourced figure is unusable). Since v3.5.0 the envelope implements the portfolio-wide provenance contract v1.0 (@sbissoli/mcp-provenance): the server builds and validates a full canonical model per response, and emits its concise projection — a fixed 6-key block with explicit null for unknown fields. The block lives in structuredContent.provenance (parseable by clients; note the advertised per-tool output schema is permissive, so contract validation happens server-side at build time, in the package) and is mirrored as a compact source footer in the text content for clients that only render text — the data JSON itself is not duplicated with the envelope, to keep the per-response token cost low.
Coverage spans all four upstream sources, each with its own source/citation/license (in src/utils/provenance.ts):
- Senado Federal — Dados Abertos (Legislativo) —
legis.senado.leg.br/dadosabertos
- Senado Federal — Dados Abertos (Administrativo) —
adm.senado.gov.br/adm-dadosabertos
- Senado Federal — Execução Orçamentária e Financeira — Arquimedes/Financeiro feed at
senado.gov.br
- Senado Federal — Portal e-Cidadania —
www12.senado.leg.br/ecidadania
Fields of the concise block (per response — one tool, one source; keys in this fixed order, null when the source does not expose the value):
| Field | Meaning |
|---|
source | Official source name (e.g. Senado Federal — Dados Abertos (Legislativo)) |
source_url | Canonical endpoint/item URL consulted (e.g. …/processo/{id}) |
data_vintage | Vintage/competência of the data (e.g. 2024-03-15, 2019) — named reference_period before v3.5.0 |
retrieved_at | ISO-8601 of the upstream extraction — carried through the cache, so it reflects when the data was actually fetched, not the build or the cache-hit time |
citation | Ready-to-use citation string (human-readable) |
license | Source terms (Dados Abertos do Senado Federal) |
The canonical model behind the block also carries dataset.id (item/series identifier, e.g. codigoMateria=137808), api_version and per-field field_sources; those are validated on every build and inform attribution (below), but are not part of the concise projection.
In addition to the provenance envelope, structuredContent carries a top-level attribution list — the distinct source URLs behind the response. This mirrors the naming proposed in modelcontextprotocol#711 (where attribution is a list of source references at the response level), so the server stays forward-compatible if that RFC lands; the richer provenance object remains this server's own extension.
Out-of-band mirror in _meta. The same provenance and attribution are also mirrored on the result's _meta under namespaced keys (com.sidneybissoli.senado/provenance and com.sidneybissoli.senado/attribution). The MCP spec keeps _meta for metadata about a result that should not steer the model, which is where the still-incubating trust/attribution work from #711 (split into an experimental extensions track, not yet in core) points; mirroring there gives audit and UI consumers the provenance without reading the model-facing data channel, at no model-token cost, while structuredContent keeps it visible so the model can cite the source. The mirror survives the ChatGPT-app profile minimizer (which only strips structuredContent.meta).
Field-level granularity. Most tools are single-source, so one envelope suffices. The few that merge slices in one response fill field_sources in the canonical model — a list of { fields, source_url, data_vintage, retrieved_at, … } attributing specific output fields to their real origin. Example: senado_obter_materia secao=detalhe fuses /processo/{id} (the top-level source) with the ementa from /processo and the relator from /processo/relatoria, each carrying its own retrieved_at. In the emitted concise block the per-field detail is summarized through attribution, which always lists every distinct underlying source_url.
retrieved_at fidelity is provided by the cache layer (cachedFetchWithMeta), which persists the fetch timestamp alongside the value, so it reflects the real upstream extraction even on a cache hit. Two exceptions report an honest live timestamp instead: the e-Cidadania list tools (read from D1) use the corpus's lastScrapedAt — the true age of the stored data — while e-Cidadania detail tools, scraped live, use the fetch time and a level-3 canonical item URL. The only path that falls back to the build-time default is the in-code static reference catalog (senado_tabelas_referencia tipos-materia), which has no upstream extraction instant.
Coverage is universal: all 69 tools carry the envelope — the 67 senado_* tools via resultWithProvenance( (verify with grep -c 'resultWithProvenance(' src/tools/*.ts) and the two Deep Research tools via provenanceExtras (same block, in structuredContent/_meta, since their text channel is the contract's JSON). The ⊕ marks in the inventory below denote the original pilot tools (votes, bills, processes); the envelope now extends to every tool, so the marks are historical.
Citable dataset (e-Cidadania participation)
Beyond the live server, this project publishes a frozen, versioned, citable dataset of the e-Cidadania participation layer (public consultations, legislative ideas, interactive events + their comments, historical votes by state) — the layer the R package congressbr never covered. Each value carries a per-field provenance envelope ({ value, sourceEndpoint, sourceField, retrievedAt, license, schemaVersion }); the data license (Dados Abertos do Senado Federal) is kept separate from the code license (MIT).
- How to cite —
CITATION.cff (dataset; cite the version-DOI of the snapshot you used, the concept-DOI for the dataset across versions).
- What's in each release —
CHANGELOG-dataset.md (cumulative, append-only; binds each release to its schemaVersion).
- Variable dictionary & field provenance —
docs/dataset-dictionary.md (generated from src/dataset/schema.ts, the single source of truth).
- Data license —
LICENSE-DATA.md.
- Cutting a release (freeze → checksums → GitHub Release → Zenodo DOI) —
docs/release-runbook.md; machinery in src/dataset/, scripts/build-dataset/, and .github/workflows/release-dataset.yml.
Inventory — schema v2 (schemaVersion 2.0.0)
Each release ships one NDJSON resource per entity (one HarmonizedRecord per line: identity + a provenance envelope per field), plus a datapackage.json manifest and a copy of the dictionary. Five resources:
Resource (*.ndjson) | Grain | Key variables | Source(s) |
|---|
consultas | 1 public consultation (matéria) | materia, ementa, votosSim/votosNao/totalVotos, percentual*, autoriaⁿ, relatorⁿ, status, url, firstSeenAt | pesquisamateria listing + detail (visualizacaomateria)ⁿ + /processo?tramitando=S for status |

ⁿ = new/reopened in v2 · ᶜ = source corrected to the canonical one in v2. What v2 (2.0.0) changed — the ingestion moved from listing-only to listing + detail (+ AJAX comments for events):
- Eventos corrected & enriched.
data/hora now come from the detail page (canonical — the estudo A3 found the listing 57% divergent on hora), plus six new detail fields (comissaoNomeCompleto, local, descricao, pauta, convidados, videoUrl). comentarios is now the canonical AJAX count (the listing count was 0-spurious in 82% of events, capturing only ~6.7% of engagement).
- New comment-level resource
eventos_comentarios — one row per audiência comment, the participation signal nobody else publishes versioned.
- Detail-only fields reopened for
ideias (dataPublicacao, autorUf, descricao, plConvertido) and consultas (autoria, relator) — previously always null by design.
- Privacy posture by data origin. Citizen content (audiência comments, idea authors) keeps UF only — never the name, discarded at the parser; public agents (consulta authorship/rapporteur, event guests) keep the name (public by function). See
docs/schema-v2-inventario.md for the field-by-field rationale (approved target).
The frozen NDJSON is not committed (built from the sovereign D1 corpus on demand); a tagged dataset-v* release attaches the tarball + SHA256SUMS + release.json and archives them on Zenodo.

Reads a bundled snapshot of the Senate's organizational tree (crawled from the institutional portal down to serviço level by npm run ingest:estrutura), since the open-data API only publishes units down to Secretaria and never links a leaf unit to its parent. Units the portal lists only by name, without a page of their own (the CONLEG/CONORF núcleos), are captured as synthetic nodes from the page's indented listing. Congress-wide bodies where the servant registry records lotações (CMO, CPCMS, CMMC) come from a curated complement (src/estrutura/complemento-cn.ts, public source: congressonacional.leg.br) under a separate Congresso Nacional root (CN) — never under the Senate tree, so subordinadasA: "DGER" excludes them while subordinadasA: "CN" counts them. Servants recorded under the situational pseudo-units "Servidores Afastados/em Trânsito - SF" are reported separately as afastadosOuEmTransito by senado_servidores.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
senado_estrutura_organizacional | Organizational chart (organograma) resolved for a unidade (sigla like DGER or name): returns its caminho (ancestors) and every subordinate unit (subordinadas[] — secretarias, coordenações, serviços, núcleos — with nivel). Pairs with senado_servidores's subordinadasA filter, which counts/lists all servants under a whole directorate (a servant sits in a leaf serviço, so filtering lotacao by the parent sigla returns 0). |
The OpenAI Deep Research contract: the only two tools without the senado_ prefix, because the names are fixed by the contract. Registered through the same shim as the others (read-only annotations, permissive outputSchema, per-tool telemetry) and served on /mcp only — the curated ChatGPT app profile does not include them. The index (senators in office + active committees, ~300 documents) is built on first use from the same two list endpoints the senado_listar_* tools read, and kept for 24 h.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
search | Ranks the query (natural language or keywords, pt/en, accent-insensitive) against senators in office and active committees; returns up to 10 { id, title, url } — sen:<código> with the public profile URL, com:<código> with the public committee page. Provenance of both lists in structuredContent/_meta. |
fetch | Returns the document for an id from search as { id, title, text, url, metadata }: the senator's biography and mandates (same read as senado_obter_senador) or the committee's summary and board (same read as senado_obter_comissao), as Markdown, with that read's provenance. Unknown id → error. |
