Terms of Service

Last updated: 17 April 2026

CongressMCP ("CongressMCP", "we", "us") provides a software service that exposes structured U.S. Congressional data and collaboration primitives through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and a complementary web interface. By creating an account or using the service, you ("you", "user") agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

CongressMCP lets users track legislation, build whip counts, score member voting records, and collaborate with teammates using AI tools of their choice. The service mirrors publicly available data from sources including Congress.gov and third-party data providers. We do not originate the underlying legislative data.

2. Your Account

You must provide a valid email to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials (API keys, session cookies) confidential. Treat a leaked API key as you would any other secret — rotate it immediately via your account dashboard.

You are responsible for activity performed under your account, including activity mediated by AI tools you connect to our MCP server.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

4. User Content and Attribution

You retain ownership of the signals, notes, reports, and other content you or your teammates create inside the service. We store and process that content solely to deliver the service to you.

Every state change in the service is recorded in an audit log that captures the user, the timestamp, and (best-effort) the AI orchestrator through which the action was taken. This audit trail is your record, not ours; we will produce it to you on request.

5. Third-Party Data & Services

The service integrates with third parties including Stripe (billing), Resend (email delivery), Anthropic (optional AI features), Supabase (database hosting), DigitalOcean (application hosting), and congressional data providers including data.routpoint.com. Their services are subject to their own terms, which may apply to you when you use features that depend on them.

6. Fees and Billing

Paid tiers are billed through Stripe. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice to active subscribers; your continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.

7. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by revoking your API keys and closing your subscription. We may suspend or terminate accounts that materially violate these Terms. On termination, we will retain your data for 30 days to enable reinstatement, after which it is purged (except for audit events, which we retain per applicable record-keeping obligations).

8. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Computed metrics, whip count predictions, bill viability scores, and scorecard grades are heuristics derived from publicly available data; they are not forecasts, legal advice, or lobbying advice. You are responsible for verifying information before relying on it for client deliverables.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CongressMCP's aggregate liability to you for any claim related to the service is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced by email to the address on file and posted at the top of this page at least 14 days before taking effect.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
