FOIA Gras MCP Server

Connect your AI assistant to the FOIA Gras public records database. Search documents, explore meeting minutes, and dig into investigative reporting — right from your conversation.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. With the FOIA Gras MCP server, your AI can search thousands of public records documents, meeting minutes, and investigative articles on your behalf.

Instead of copying and pasting from the website, you can ask: “What contracts did the school board approve in 2024?” and the AI will search the actual documents for you.
