You can now connect AI platforms like ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Claude (Anthropic) to PIA’s resources using something called the Model Context Protocol, or MCP for short. This lets you access PIA tools—like GovQuery and Recommendation Spotlight —right inside your favorite AI chat platforms or even within your own apps or internal systems.
It’s a simple way to bring PIA’s data and insights into the places you already work, whether you’re asking questions, doing research, or building something new.
