🌍 Hack23 Political Intelligence Ecosystem

This MCP server is part of Hack23's mission to disrupt journalism with AI-generated news coverage and real-time analysis of democratic governments — increasing transparency and accountability through open-source intelligence.

🎯 Vision: AI-Powered Democratic Transparency

Hack23 builds open-source intelligence platforms that enable citizens, journalists, and researchers to monitor democratic institutions in real-time. By combining MCP servers, AI analysis, and open parliamentary data, we create automated intelligence products that were previously only available to well-funded lobbying organizations.

"Democratizing access to political intelligence — what used to require a team of analysts can now be done by any citizen with an AI assistant."

Testing

# Unit tests
npm test

# Integration tests (requires EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true)
EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true npm run test:integration

# Integration tests with fixture capture
EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true EP_SAVE_FIXTURES=true npm run test:integration

# E2E tests
npm run test:e2e

# Coverage report
npm run test:coverage

# Watch mode
npm run test:watch

Integration Testing: When EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true, all 47 MCP tools are tested against the real European Parliament API endpoints. All tools return real data — no mock or placeholder data is used. Live API tests are disabled by default to respect rate limits (100 req/15min). See INTEGRATION_TESTING.md for the complete guide.

Code Quality

# Lint code
npm run lint

# Fix linting issues
npm run lint:fix

# Check for unused dependencies
npm run knip

# Security audit
npm audit

# License compliance
npm run test:licenses

🛠️ Troubleshooting

API Rate Limits

Symptom: Requests return 429 Too Many Requests or slow down unexpectedly.

The European Parliament Open Data API enforces rate limits. The MCP server automatically applies a token-bucket rate limiter (100 requests per 15 minutes).

Solutions:

# Reduce concurrency — don't call multiple tools in parallel bursts
# Use the built-in cache — repeated identical requests are served from LRU cache
# Add a delay between bulk operations:
# e.g., call get_meps, wait 1 s, then call get_mep_details

# Check current cache stats (if using programmatic access):
const stats = epClient.getCacheStats();
console.log(`Cache hit rate: ${stats.hitRate}%`);

Connectivity Issues

Symptom: ECONNREFUSED, ETIMEDOUT, or Network error from tools.

Solutions:

Verify EP API reachability: curl https://data.europarl.europa.eu/api/v2/meps?limit=1
Check firewall / proxy settings — the server connects outbound to data.europarl.europa.eu:443
Enable retry (default: on) — the client retries transient failures with exponential backoff
Review API status at https://data.europarl.europa.eu/en/developer-corner

Installation Problems

Symptom: npm install fails, or node dist/index.js throws import errors.

Solutions:

# Ensure Node.js 24+ is installed
node --version   # Must be >= 24.0.0

# Clear npm cache and reinstall
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

# Rebuild TypeScript output
npm run build

# Verify the package starts correctly
node dist/index.js --version

Symptom: MCP client shows "server not found" or no tools listed.

Solutions:

Confirm the command path in your MCP client config points to the correct binary
For npx: ensure european-parliament-mcp-server is in your npm registry
For node: use the absolute path to dist/index.js
Check MCP client logs — most clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code) log connection errors

Integration Test Failures

Symptom: Integration tests fail with EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS must be set.

Integration tests are disabled by default to respect API rate limits.

# Enable integration tests explicitly:
EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true npm run test:integration

# Capture fresh fixtures for offline testing:
EP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true EP_SAVE_FIXTURES=true npm run test:integration

TypeScript / Build Errors

Symptom: tsc reports type errors after pulling latest changes.

# Regenerate all types
npm run type-check

# Check for mismatched Node types
npm install  # updates @types/node

# Ensure tsconfig is correct
cat tsconfig.json

🤖 AI-Disrupted Intelligence & Future Roadmap

📰 News is dead. Long live intelligence.

While the world's newsrooms race to replace journalists with GPT-powered headline factories — churning out "10 Things the EU Did Today" listicles at the speed of hallucination — we took a different path. Instead of automating the news ticker, we built a political intelligence platform that actually understands what the European Parliament does. Disrupted news generation produces noise; deep political intelligence produces signal. Any chatbot can summarize a press release. It takes 47 MCP tools, 15 OSINT analyzers, and a 5-dimension influence model to tell you which MEP quietly brokered the amendment that changed the directive that reshaped an industry — three months before the newspapers notice.

This is not a news bot. This is parliamentary intelligence infrastructure.

🏗️ Agentic Architecture Overview

This repository is powered by a comprehensive AI-augmented development ecosystem — 14 specialized Copilot agents, 41 reusable skills, and 11 CI/CD workflows — working in concert to maintain, analyze, and evolve the most advanced political MCP server in existence.

Assumptions: Anthropic Opus minor updates every ~2.3 months through 2037 (or until successor paradigm). Major version upgrades annually. Competitors (OpenAI, Google, Meta, EU sovereign AI) evaluated at each major release. Architecture must accommodate potential paradigm shifts (quantum AI, neuromorphic computing).
