What is the Japan Parliament Search MCP server?

Japan Parliament Search MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Japan Parliament Search directly instead of describing what you should do. Search Japan's National Diet records (1947-present): statements, Q&A, and debates with citations.

What you get

This MCP server searches the official National Diet Library record system — ministerial statements, committee Q&A, and policy debates — the primary source for understanding Japanese government policy. Built for policy research, journalism, government-affairs, and compliance AI agents.

What the assistant can call

Once Japan Parliament Search is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • search_speeches — Full-text search across all Diet speeches (1947–present). Filter by speaker, house (衆議院/参議院), meeting name, and date range. Returns speaker
  • search_meetings — Find which plenary sessions and committees discussed a topic, and when — the bird's-eye view before drilling into individual speeches

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Choosing this one

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Japan Parliament Search's toolset — search_speeches, search_meetings — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by easakura; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Japan Parliament Search's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the japan parliament search mcp server does with a few real requests.
