## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 83/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 40% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_candidates` (~179 tokens)

Find federal candidate records

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.

Input parameters:

- `district` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `office` (string)
- `q` (string)
- `state` (string): Two-letter state or territory code of the public records being researched, not the user's location.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### `search_offices` (~121 tokens)

Find public offices and recorded officeholders

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.

Input parameters:

- `level` (string): State includes legislative and executive offices.
- `limit` (integer)
- `q` (string)
- `state` (string): Two-letter state or territory code of the public records being researched, not the user's location.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### `get_campaign_finance` (~103 tokens)

Read a candidate's campaign-finance summary

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.

Input parameters:

- `candidate_id` (string, required): Public FEC candidate identifier, as returned by search_candidates, e.g. H8CA28054.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### `get_election_calendar` (~92 tokens)

Read sourced federal election dates

Return the published 2026 federal general election date and congressional primary/runoff schedule, optionally filtered to a state's public election jurisdiction. Source dates and tentative/changeable status are included. Does not include every local election, registration deadline or polling location; confirm actionable dates with the state's election authority.

Input parameters:

- `state` (string): Two-letter state or territory code of the public records being researched, not the user's location.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### `get_election_results` (~143 tokens)

Read historical House and Senate election results

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.

Input parameters:

- `candidate` (string)
- `district` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `office` (string)
- `state` (string): Two-letter state or territory code of the public records being researched, not the user's location.
- `year` (integer, required)

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### `search_governments` (~149 tokens)

Find local government and school-system records

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.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `q` (string, required): 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.
- `state` (string): Two-letter state or territory code of the public records being researched, not the user's location.

Output parameters:

- `citation` (object)
- `coverage` (object)
- `data`
- `links` (object)
- `sources` (array)

### 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.
