About Tweedekamer Nl
Tweedekamer Nl is an MCP server for querying open data from the Dutch Parliament. It serves researchers and applications that need parliamentary records, with OData queries and a convenience search for people.
Key features
- 01Query Tweede Kamer OData entity sets
- 02Fetch a record by GUID
- 03Search members and people by name
Use cases
- 01Filter and select fields from parliamentary records
- 02Retrieve a known record by its identifier
- 03Find a member by surname or preferred first name
MCP support
Exposes OData record-query, record lookup, and people-search tools to MCP clients. It can be accessed through the Pipeworx gateway or run locally as an stdio MCP server.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEmcp-tweedekamer-nl
Dutch Parliament (Tweede Kamer) open data MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
query_entity | Query a Tweede Kamer (Dutch Parliament) OData v4 entity set with full OData passthrough. Entity names and fields are Dutch. Returns matching records under value. Use $filter to subset (e.g. "Achternaam eq 'Rutte'" or "contains(NaamNL,'Groen')"), $select to pick fields, $orderby to sort, $expand for related records. Always set $top to bound responses. |
get_entity_by_id | Fetch one Tweede Kamer record by its GUID id. Pass the entity name and the record Id (a GUID, e.g. "8b3664bd-77e4-468b-af96-f3f4ec27fcce"). Optionally narrow fields with $select or inline related records with $expand. |
search_people | Convenience search over Tweede Kamer members/people (Persoon entity) by name. Matches a case-insensitive substring against surname (Achternaam) and/or preferred first name (Roepnaam). Returns id, name parts, role (Functie) and party label. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tweedekamer-nl": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/tweedekamer-nl/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/tweedekamer-nl/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1684+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/tweedekamer_nl_query_entity \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"entity":"Persoon","filter":"Achternaam eq '\''Rutte'\''","select":"Id,Achternaam,Roepnaam,Functie","top":10}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/tweedekamer_nl_query_entity. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tweedekamer-nl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-tweedekamer-nl"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-tweedekamer-nl
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Tweedekamer Nl data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
