Documentation Overview
Akil MCP - New York City Edition
NYC public records for AI agents.
Akil MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and custom agents to a hosted civic data layer built around real workflows, reusable identifiers, and source-backed public records.
The product is the hosted MCP server. This repository is the public connection home for developers and evaluators.
Connect
There is nothing to install for normal use.
MCP endpoint: https://mcp.askakil.ai/mcp
| Client | How to connect |
|---|---|
| Claude | Add Akil as a custom connector, paste the MCP URL, and sign in when prompted. |
| ChatGPT | Use connectors where available, add the MCP URL, and complete the Akil authorization flow. |
| Codex | Register Akil as a streamable HTTP MCP server. Developer access can send an API key as a bearer token. |
| Custom agents | Use OAuth for user-authorized sessions or API keys for backend jobs and partner workflows. |

What agents can do
Akil is organized around civic workflows rather than a single dataset.
- Evaluate a business location: permits, licenses, inspections, location context
- Research a property or building: ownership, deeds, permits, violations, sales, tax records
- Follow public money: awards, payments, contracts, agency budgets
- Understand influence: lobbying, campaign finance, legislation, votes, hearings
- Check an organization: nonprofit registries, audits, funding history, compliance records
- Ask about a place: address, BBL, district, neighborhood, radius, polygon, or corridor
Why this exists
A general model can reason. Akil gives it records to reason from.
The useful part is not the number of tools. It is that fragmented public records come back with stable identifiers, source context, and next steps an assistant can actually follow.
Anchor-first design
Akil responses are designed to keep agents oriented around durable civic identifiers:
BBLfor tax lots, buildings, ownership, permits, sales, tax records, and violationsEINfor nonprofits, audits, awards, filings, and organization checksAgencyfor budgets, contracts, payments, rules, hearings, and payroll contextDistrictor other boundaries for place-based questionsLicenseand application identifiers for regulated businessesTime windowfor bounded, usable queries
These anchors let an assistant move from one public record system to another without losing the subject of the question.

Standards and discovery
For clients, directories, and evaluators that probe machine-readable surfaces:
- Server Card:

https://mcp.askakil.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource(RFC 9728) - Protocol: serves current-era MCP clients (protocol revision
2026-07-28) and 2025-era legacy clients on the same endpoint - Health:
https://mcp.askakil.ai/healthreports version and live tool count - Tool behavior: every tool is read-only and non-destructive, declares MCP safety annotations, returns a source-attribution footer, and states plainly when a search is capped or empty
