## Description

This MCP server provides AI models with structured access to parliamentary information systems through the standardized OParl API, enabling queries about government bodies, elected officials, meetings, documents, and legislative processes. Built using FastMCP for automatic OpenAPI-to-MCP translation, it supports multiple OParl implementations including Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, and generic endpoints with flexible authentication and Docker deployment. The implementation maps OParl's 10 core object types (System, Body, Organization, Person, Meeting, AgendaItem, Paper, Consultation, File, Location) into MCP resources and resource templates, making it valuable for civic engagement applications, government transparency tools, political research, and AI assistants that need to understand parliamentary data and democratic processes.
