Highlights

  • Tools include search-congress-bills, get-recent-bills, search-federal-register and search-court-opinions.
  • With TYPESAFE_API_KEY or JEV_API_KEY set, query-based search tools send each hit to Jev and return only high-confidence matches.
  • The filter covers search_congress_bills, search_federal_register, search_all_legal, search_court_opinions and search_regulator_news.
  • Lookup tools such as get_bill_details, recent lists and curated acts are unchanged by the Jev filter.
  • No API keys are required by default; optional keys only enhance access, and a one-click Cursor install link is provided.

Watch out

README reviewed 2026-10-17; the excerpt is truncated inside the multi-source section and the project gives no confidence thresholds, latency or pricing numbers, so how aggressively the Jev filter drops hits is not stated.
