malonestar/gov-data-mcp

**123 US government open-data tools, as one MCP server.**
EPA, FEMA, USGS, NOAA, FAA, USACE, FDIC, HUD, NRCS, HRSA, CMS, county assessor rolls and state licensing boards — all reachable as agent-callable tools, all reading directly from official government APIs and bulk files. No scraping, no HTML parsing, no rate-limit roulette.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor
Claude Desktop reads claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Code reads .mcp.json in your project; Cursor reads .cursor/mcp.json. The block is identical in all three.
What you get
**12 dedicated tools** for the highest-traffic questions, callable directly:
| Tool | Answers |
|---|---|
| site-due-diligence-bundle | 20-layer go / caution / no-go verdict for one coordinate |
| epa-contaminated-site-screener | Phase I ESA database search at ASTM E1527-21 distances |
| faa-drone-airspace-checker | Part 107 LAANC and airspace verdicts, batched |
| hifld-grid-proximity-screener | Nearest transmission line, substation, serving utility, ISO/RTO |
| interconnection-queue-tracker | Generator interconnection queues across 7 ISOs |
| fdic-ncua-health-rollup | Bank and credit-union health with real peer cohorts |
| fema-nri-county-risk-profile | County and census-tract natural-hazard risk |
| fws-wetlands-proximity-screener | NWI wetlands within a radius, with decode columns |

**Plus three tools that reach the other 111:**
- search-gov-data-tools — find a tool by keyword, agency or topic
- describe-gov-data-tool — full input schema for any tool in the catalog
- run-gov-data-tool — run any tool in the catalog
The catalog is bundled, so discovery costs nothing. Ask your agent *"what government data tools do you have for flood risk?"* and it will search all 123.
Vertical presets
The full server is the right default for a general-purpose agent. For an agent that serves one kind of buyer, a **preset** narrows the whole surface — the named tools *and* what search-gov-data-tools / describe-gov-data-tool / run-gov-data-tool can reach — to one shelf, and announces itself to the client under its own server name and description. Same package, same catalog, same release; nothing to install separately. Pass --preset or set GOV_DATA_MCP_PRESET. An unknown preset name refuses to start rather than guessing. npx gov-data-mcp --list-presets prints the current list as JSON.
| Preset | Server name | Tools | For |
|---|---|---|---|
| phase1-esa | gov-data-mcp-phase1-esa | 11 + 3 meta | Phase I ESA — Environmental Due Diligence |
| cre-leads | gov-data-mcp-cre-leads | 12 + 3 meta | CRE & Local Business Leads — Who Just Changed State |
| compliance | gov-data-mcp-compliance | 12 + 3 meta | KYB, Sanctions & Financial Compliance Screening |
phase1-esa — Phase I ESA — Environmental Due Diligence
US government environmental records for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and property due diligence: EPA Superfund / RCRA / UST / brownfield records at ASTM E1527-21 search distances, state tank and spill registries, historic land use from FRS SIC/NAICS, USGS historical topographic map coverage, NWI wetlands, Clean Water Act §404 surface water, RCRA corrective-action cleanups, orphaned wells, FEMA hazard risk and NFIP flood-loss history, plus a twenty-layer go / caution / no-go site verdict. Every tool reads the official source directly and reports what it could not check as null, never as clear.
