Umbrella Terminal MCP
MCP server for Colorado legislative intelligence. Provides 67 tools for querying bills, statutes, rules, legislators, votes, attribution chains, stakeholders, lobbying data, campaign finance, hearings, and district representation.
Built for AI agents — works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
Quick Start
pip install umbrella-terminal
Add to your MCP config:
Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"umbrella-terminal": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "umbrella_terminal", "--quiet"],
"env": {
"TERMINAL_API_URL": "https://terminal-api-m4d6.onrender.com",
"TERMINAL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json): same structure.
Restart your IDE. You now have 67 legislative intelligence tools.
