What AICD API does
AICD API collects public local-government records, keeps the source link, and returns structured data that software and AI agents can use.
The first region is Dallas-Fort Worth. Texas-wide coverage is planned. The current public catalog is research evidence, not proof that every listed record is already in the live feed.
What is available now
- The public coverage catalog can be read without an API key.
- The catalog records a research pass for 238 active municipalities and 16 counties in the DFW region.
- Public no-key MCP access is closed during prelaunch.
- The authenticated MCP route exists for release testing, but paid tool calls return beta_unavailable. Do not retry them automatically.
- Permit and other new record-family imports are not claimed as live until their source and release checks pass.
Your first useful query
Start with coverage. It tells you where evidence exists and where a gap remains. Then follow the returned source URL before you rely on a record.
- Read the catalog researchDate and catalogVersion.
- Check the evidence code and limits for the record subtype you need.
- Follow sourceUrl to the publishing government page.
- If the publisher is in the featured meeting-source list, check its source status. Otherwise follow the government source and treat missing or stale data as unknown.

- P means an official source or portal was found, but record extraction was not proved.
- R means access, terms, account, payment, or reuse restrictions need resolution.
- U means no source was proved in this pass. It does not mean unavailable.
