What your AI can do with GovDir
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “resolve_jurisdiction”: Use first when the user names a US address, a point, or a place: returns the jurisdiction chain (state, county, town or township, city, larg.”
“Use “find_official_resource”: Use when the user needs a specific official page or office for a place: the parcel map, the tax bill page, the assessor, deeds, zoning, perm.”
“Use “get_place_directory”: Use to see everything GovDir lists for one place (a state, county, town, township or city) by jurisdiction_id: the responsible body per func.”
“Use “search_directory”: Use to find a place or an official resource by name when you do not have a location, for example "Hennepin County recorder" or "Sarasota zon.”
How secure is the GovDir MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how GovDir holds up.
Security grade A
gate scanned 8 tools on Oct 16, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
- lowfind_official_resource: Unusually long tool description
Official endpoint
Operated by GovDir (govdir.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If GovDir adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick GovDir
Choose GovDir in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.

GovDir's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Who runs the GovDir MCP server?
The GovDir MCP server at a glance
https://api.govdir.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official GovDir MCP server?
Yes — GovDir operates its own remote MCP server at api.govdir.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect GovDir to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick GovDir in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, GovDir's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. GovDir runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the GovDir MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect GovDir in minutes. No credit card required.
