Kokkai Minutes

You can search and retrieve Japanese Diet Library Kokkai Minutes parliamentary proceedings through a dedicated MCP server. This MCP provides a structured interface to run queries across meetings, speeches, and related transcripts, letting you build powerful AI-assisted research workflows with precise results.

How to use

You connect to the Kokkai Minutes MCP server from your MCP-enabled client. Use the three core functions to locate meetings, retrieve full speeches, and search for specific speeches. Typical usage patterns include filtering by date ranges, filtering by house, and narrowing results by speaker or topic. Once connected, you can compose queries that combine multiple parameters (date range, house, speaker, and keywords) to assemble a focused set of meetings and speeches for analysis or summarization.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and a compatible MCP client tooling are installed on your system.

Install the MCP client tooling if needed and ensure you have network access to the MCP endpoint.

Follow these steps to set up your local environment and run the MCP server client configuration as described in the connection steps.

Additional steps and configurations

To connect Claude Desktop or other MCP clients, you will configure an MCP server entry that points to the deployed endpoint and/or to the local development server. The deployment exposes the MCP API at the following URL for remote access.

    "kokkaikaigiroku": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kokkaikaigiroku-mcp.egeg.workers.dev/mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server

You can connect from Claude Desktop by using the mcp-remote proxy. Use the deployed URL for remote access or a local development URL if you are testing locally.
