Apply the AI FIRST principle: never accept first-pass quality. Minimum 2 iterations. Read all output, improve every section. No shortcuts.
Provide comprehensive access to Swedish political data through the riksdag-regering-mcp Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Enables intelligence operatives and political analysts to query, analyze, and visualize data from the Swedish Riksdag (Parliament) and Regeringen (Government).
scripts/scb-fetch.ts KPI/AKU/HEK/fuel presets and scripts/riksbank-fetch.ts policy-rate/minutes context for Swedish-specific impact estimates.In gh-aw agentic workflows, MCP tools are called directly by name without any prefix. The MCP gateway routes to the correct server automatically:
// Direct tool calls in agentic workflows (no prefix needed):
get_sync_status({}) // Health check — ALWAYS call first
get_propositioner({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 20 }) // Government propositions
get_betankanden({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 20 }) // Committee reports
search_dokument({ doktyp: "prop", rm: "2025/26" }) // Search documents
search_voteringar({ rm: "2025/26", parti: "S" }) // Search votes
get_calendar_events({ from: "2026-04-01", tom: "2026-04-30" }) // Calendar events
⚠️ Tool names use underscores (e.g.,
get_sync_status, NOTget-sync-status). The gateway athttp://host.docker.internal:$MCP_GATEWAY_PORT/mcp/riksdag-regering(port8080for gh-aw v0.69+, port80for legacy gh-aw <0.69 — resolved dynamically bymcp-setup.sh) handles routing. See.github/prompts/02-mcp-access.mdfor MCP server access, direct tool invocation, and tool-naming conventions (and the.github/prompts/README.mdfor the full module catalogue).
// Get all votes from current riksmöte
const votes = await riksdag_regering_mcp.search_voteringar({
rm: "2024/25",
limit: 200
});
// Analyze party cohesion
const partyDiscipline = {};

const partyVotes = await riksdag_regering_mcp.get_voting_group({

groupBy: "parti",
limit: 200
});
// Calculate cohesion metric
partyDiscipline[party] = calculateCohesion(partyVotes);
}
// Get reports from all committees
const committees = ['AU', 'FiU', 'JuU', 'KU', 'SkU', 'SfU', 'UU'];
const productivity = {};
for (const committee of committees) {
const reports = await riksdag_regering_mcp.get_betankanden({

}
// Search government propositions on specific topic
const props = await riksdag_regering_mcp.search_regering({
type: "propositioner",
title: "migration",
dateFrom: "2024-01-01",
limit: 50
});
// Get full content for analysis
for (const prop of props) {

});
// Analyze policy positions

// Create bilingual dashboard (Swedish/English)
const dashboard = {
sv: formatDashboardSV({ motions, props, questions }),
en: formatDashboardEN({ motions, props, questions })
};
// ❌ BAD: Fetching too much data
const allDocs = await riksdag_regering_mcp.search_dokument({
limit: 200 // Default, could be thousands
});
// ✅ GOOD: Targeted query with filters
const recentDocs = await riksdag_regering_mcp.search_dokument({
rm: "2024/25",
doktyp: "mot",
organ: "FiU",
limit: 50
});
// ❌ BAD: Only getting first page
const votes = await riksdag_regering_mcp.search_voteringar({ limit: 20 });
// ✅ GOOD: Handling pagination
const allVotes = await riksdag_regering_mcp.fetch_paginated_documents({
doktyp: "votering",
rm: "2024/25",
fetchAll: true,
maxPages: 10
});
RULE #1: Call get_sync_status() before any data queries
// === DATA FRESHNESS CHECK ===
// ALWAYS call this FIRST - validates freshness and warms up server
const syncStatus = get_sync_status({});
console.log("Last data sync:", syncStatus.last_updated);
// Calculate hours since last sync
const lastSync = new Date(syncStatus.last_updated);
const hoursSinceSync = (Date.now() - lastSync.getTime()) / 3600000;
// Warn if data is stale (>48 hours)
if (hoursSinceSync > 48) {
console.warn(`⚠️ DATA MAY BE STALE: ${hoursSinceSync.toFixed(1)} hours since last sync`);
// Include disclaimer in analysis/articles
}
Why this matters:
Only 3 of 32 tools support explicit date parameters:
| Tool | Date Parameters | Example |
|---|---|---|
get_calendar_events | from, tom | { from: "2026-02-17", tom: "2026-02-23" } |
search_regering | from_date, to_date | { from_date: "2026-02-01", to_date: "2026-02-17" } |
analyze_g0v_by_department | dateFrom, dateTo | { dateFrom: "2026-02-01", dateTo: "2026-02-17" } |
All other 29 tools require post-query date filtering by:
datum - votes, speeches (voting/speech date)publicerad - committee reports, propositions (publication date)inlämnad - motions, questions, interpellations (submission date)// === STEP 1: Check data freshness ===
const syncStatus = get_sync_status({});
// === STEP 2: Query with explicit dates (where supported) ===
const govDocs = search_regering({
from_date: "2026-02-01",
to_date: "2026-02-17",
limit: 50
});
// === STEP 3: Filter by date for tools without date params ===
const betankanden = get_betankanden({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 100 });
// Filter results by publication date
const fromDate = new Date("2026-02-01");
const recentBetankanden = betankanden.filter(bet =>
new Date(bet.publicerad) >= fromDate
);
console.log(`Found ${recentBetankanden.length} committee reports from ${fromDate.toISOString().split('T')[0]}`);
// ❌ BAD: Relies on implicit sorting without date awareness
const votes = search_voteringar({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 50 });
// Problem: No idea when votes occurred, might be months old
// ✅ GOOD: Explicit date filtering
const votes = search_voteringar({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 50 });
const recentVotes = votes.filter(v =>
new Date(v.datum) >= new Date("2026-02-01")
);
console.log(`Found ${recentVotes.length} votes since 2026-02-01`);
Combine multiple tools for richer analysis:
// 1. Get recent committee reports
const betankanden = get_betankanden({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 20 });
const recentBet = betankanden.filter(b =>
new Date(b.publicerad) >= new Date("2026-02-01")
);
// 2. Get full details for each report
const reportDetails = recentBet.map(bet =>
get_dokument({ dok_id: bet.dok_id })
);
// 3. Find related votes
const votes = search_voteringar({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 100 });
const relatedVotes = votes.filter(v =>
recentBet.some(bet => v.bet === bet.beteckning)
);
// 4. Get committee members' speeches
const speeches = search_anforanden({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 100 });
const committeeSpeeches = speeches.filter(a =>
recentBet.some(bet => a.dokument_hangar_samman === bet.dok_id)
);
// Now you have: reports + details + votes + speeches
// 1. Get voting patterns by party
const voteGroups = get_voting_group({ rm: "2025/26", groupBy: "parti" });
// 2. Get recent votes
const votes = search_voteringar({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 200 });
const recentVotes = votes.filter(v =>
new Date(v.datum) >= new Date("2026-02-01")
);
// 3. Get party motions
const motions = get_motioner({ rm: "2025/26", limit: 100 });
const partyMotions = motions.filter(m =>
new Date(m.inlämnad) >= new Date("2026-02-01")
);
// 4. Calculate party cohesion
const partyDiscipline = calculateCohesion(voteGroups, recentVotes);
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool not found | Wrong tool name | Use exact names: get_calendar_events, search_voteringar |
| Empty results | No data in timeframe | Check get_sync_status(), widen date range, verify rm parameter |
| Stale data | Last sync >48h ago | Note in analysis with disclaimer, use available data |
| Timeout | Cold start (30-60s) | Wait - MCP framework retries automatically |
| Too broad results | No date filtering | Add date params OR filter by datum/publicerad/inlämnad |
| Swedish-only results | Riksdag API returns Swedish | Must translate to target languages |
| Missing documents | Wrong riksmöte (rm) | Verify rm parameter (e.g., "2025/26") |
