Please install the `congressional-documents` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Get a data.gov API key** — Sign up for a free API key to use as PLATFORM_DATAGOV_KEY. The README states one key works across GovInfo and most federal APIs. (https://api.data.gov/signup'}],)
Canonical MCP server config (HTTP transport):
- url: `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/congressional-documents/mcp`
Note: README provides an HTTP MCP endpoint via the Pipeworx gateway. Auth section mentions a platform key (PLATFORM_DATAGOV_KEY) or BYO via _apiKey, but the Quick Start snippet does not show any client-side header or env configuration for the MCP connection itself, so no canonical MCP env/header shape is documented here. An alternative endpoint for the full Pipeworx gateway is https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.PLATFORM_DATAGOV_KEYrequiredPlatform key for authentication with data.gov/GovInfo APIs.MCP server for searching Airweave collections with natural language queries.
