This server does not call an LLM. It only returns source-backed Diet data, with primary URLs (NDL Kokkai, 衆議院議案情報, 参議院議案情報) so your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other agent) can cite the original source.

Sister package: @codeagentjp/egov-law-mcp for current Japanese laws (e-Gov Law Search). houan-mcp covers the legislative process side: bills under deliberation, committee questionings, and full meeting transcripts.

Status

MVP. Four tools:

find_diet_qa — full-text search across all Diet committee speeches via the NDL Kokkai API. Filter by date, chamber, committee, speaker.
get_meeting_record — retrieve a single committee's full transcript by issueID.
search_bills — search current-session bills in either house by title keyword.
get_bill — retrieve detail of one bill (proceedings timeline, committee assignment, full-text URL).

Requirements

Network access to https://kokkai.ndl.go.jp, https://www.shugiin.go.jp, https://www.sangiin.go.jp

Tools

`find_diet_qa`

Full-text search of Diet committee speeches via the NDL Kokkai API.

{
  "keyword": "クロード ミトス",
  "from": "2026-04-01",
  "until": "2026-04-25",
  "chamber": "衆議院",
  "committee": "外務委員会",
  "limit": 5
}

Returns matched speeches with speaker, position, committee context, and direct NDL URL.

`get_meeting_record`

Retrieve a single full transcript by issueID.

{
  "issueID": "122103968X00620260410"
}

`search_bills`

Search 衆議院議案情報 / 参議院議案情報 by title keyword.

`get_bill`

Data Sources and Attribution

This package uses three Japanese public sources:

NDL Kokkai (国会会議録検索システム) — https://kokkai.ndl.go.jp/ · API documentation. Diet records published 1947–. No auth required. Be a good neighbour: insert short delays between sequential requests, avoid concurrent bursts.
衆議院議案情報 — https://www.shugiin.go.jp/internet/itdb_gian.nsf/html/gian/menu.htm
参議院議案情報 — https://www.sangiin.go.jp/japanese/joho1/kousei/gian/index.htm

Tool results include the source URL. When you publish or redistribute output based on this package, include an appropriate attribution. Suggested:

出典: 国会会議録検索システム (https://kokkai.ndl.go.jp/) / 衆議院議案情報 / 参議院議案情報

Example: pulling a Mythos Q&A

The 4/10 2026 衆議院外務委員会 questioning by 宇佐美登 (チームみらい) on Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview can be retrieved like this:

{
  "tool": "find_diet_qa",
  "arguments": {
    "keyword": "クロード",
    "from": "2026-04-01",
    "until": "2026-04-30"
  }
}

The response includes 花田貴裕政府参考人's verbatim answer with meetingURL pointing to the canonical NDL record at https://kokkai.ndl.go.jp/txt/122103968X00620260410.

Safety Notes

This package is a legislative reference tool, not legal/political advice.
It does not execute shell commands.
It writes JSON-RPC messages only to stdout and logs only to stderr.
It fetches only the NDL Kokkai API and 衆/参議案情報 endpoints.
Diet records in NDL typically appear with a 1–2 week lag after the committee meeting. If a recent meeting cannot be found, check back later or consult the chamber's video library directly.
