A [stateless](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic/transports/streamable-http) [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server providing structured access to [MuckRock](https://www.muckrock.com/api_v2) Requests and [DocumentCloud](https://www.documentcloud.org/help/api/) APIs — eight read-only tools, six resource templates, and dual stdio/HTTP transports (see [Features](#features)).

Rather than requiring models to parse arbitrary web pages, this server provides structured, machine-readable access to:

- **Document A…
