For residents who follow local matters

OpenCity Record MCP

Civic data for the AI you already use.

Connect OpenCity to Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code and ask plain-language questions about your city — meetings, votes, ordinances, transcripts, permits. With citations to the actual meetings, not hallucinated summaries.
