Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security83
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 282 tokens (~94/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Bargo Congress Trades MCP server?
Bargo Congress Trades is a hosted endpoint at https://www.bargo.ai/free-apis/congress/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 90 to 93. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 27 days of observed history at the previous scan, 28 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_congress_member ~74
All disclosed trades for one member of Congress plus a performance summary (trade count, buys/sells, average per-share return on disclosed buys). Pass the member_slug returned by get_congress_trades (e.g. 'nancy-pelosi').
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| member_slug | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_congress_stats ~48
Aggregate Congress-trading stats: total trades/members/tickers, buy vs sell counts, latest transaction & disclosure dates, and the most-traded tickers over the last 90 days.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_congress_trades ~160
U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.
