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 Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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 Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 868 tokens (~144/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage83
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 40% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 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
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.
- 5 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.
- 2 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 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_campaign_finance Read a candidate's campaign-finance summary ~103
Retrieve published 2026 federal campaign receipts, spending, cash, debts, linked committees and separately labeled outside-spending totals for an FEC candidate ID. Returns reporting periods, sources and coverage limits. Campaign balances are not a candidate's personal net worth. Contributions do not establish influence or wrongdoing. Missing financial summaries remain null.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| candidate_id | string | yes | Public FEC candidate identifier, as returned by search_candidates, e.g. H8CA28054. |

Return the published 2026 federal general election date and congressional primary/runoff schedule, optionally filtered to a state's public election jurisdiction.

Retrieve source-backed U.S. House and Senate results for an explicitly requested year. The archive currently covers 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024. Other years return an unsupported-year error, never substituted historical results. Includes votes, sources, record links and calculation caveats. Not live returns, projections or presidential results.

search_candidates Find federal candidate records ~179
Search Election.org's 2026 FEC candidate filings by public name or FEC ID, state, office, or district. Returns party, filing status, available campaign totals, source dates and record links. FEC records stay in data.records. A separately sourced data.state_authority_records list currently adds Mississippi federal qualifying entries, including candidates with no matched FEC ID. Check both collections; neither proves final ballot certification or complete nationwide/local coverage. Do not request federal finance for a null FEC ID. Federal filings are ordered by reported receipts, not an endorsement. No party is excluded.

search_governments Find local government and school-system records ~149
Search named cities, counties, school systems and special districts in Election.org's Census-based public-body directory. Returns source-backed institution records, available office contacts and enriched coverage, with record links. Similar names can refer to different jurisdictions. Directory inclusion does not establish current officials or exact service boundaries. Does not locate a user's home or provide private personal contacts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| q | string | yes | A distinctive partial institution name, e.g. Bethel Township Municipal. Search matches consecutive text; shorten the query if punctuation or parenthetical words cause no matches. |

search_offices Find public offices and recorded officeholders ~121
Search permanent public offices and their sourced holders by official name, office title, or jurisdiction. Federal, state, executive and selected local coverage is included; local coverage is incomplete and source verification dates must be retained. Not an address-to-representative lookup. A missing holder is not proof of a vacancy.

How do I install the Election.org MCP server?
Election.org is a hosted endpoint at https://election.org/api/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.

Is the Election.org MCP server safe to use?
Election.org scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Election.org MCP server expose?
Election.org exposes 6 tools: search_candidates, search_offices, get_campaign_finance, get_election_calendar, get_election_results, search_governments. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 787 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Election.org MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Election.org without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Election.org MCP server still maintained?
Election.org is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
