## What is this?

**MCP Senado Federal** is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants direct access to the official [Brazilian Federal Senate Open Data API](https://legis.senado.leg.br/dadosabertos). Once configured, you can ask Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) natural-language questions about Brazilian legislative data and get accurate, real-time answers sourced from the government's own API.

**Who is it for?**
- Data journalists investigating voting patterns or legislative proposals
- Academic researchers studying Brazilian parliamentary behavior
- Developers building civic tech apps or political dashboards
- Citizens and activists tracking specific bills or senators

---

## Features

- **56 tools across 7 categories** — senators, proposals, voting, committees, parties, plenary sessions, and reference data
- **Multi-transport** — stdio (native MCP) and HTTP/REST API modes
- **Production-ready** — circuit breaker, rate limiting, in-memory LRU cache, structured logging, and health checks
- **Deployable anywhere** — run locally via npx, Docker, or deploy globally on Cloudflare Workers (300+ edge locations)
- **Secure by default** — Zod input validation, optional bearer token auth, configurable CORS, PII masking, LGPD-compliant
- **Type-safe** — full TypeScript 5.7 with strict mode; 211 passing tests at 73% coverage
- **Bilingual** — documentation and tool descriptions in Portuguese and English
