Connect

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.

Ready to get started? Just follow the steps below for the platform you're using.

First, Register for a Free PIA Community Account

PIA's MCP server is now served directly from this site. To access it you will first need a free PIA Community Account on programintegrity.org.

• Click the person icon in the top-right of this site, then choose "Create account" — or sign in instantly with Google or Microsoft.
• Follow the prompts to finish creating your account.

Note: You will be asked for an email to register. This doesn't need to be an organizational email address (e.g. government), personal emails are accepted.
