# forcemap

> Everyone gets the wire story. forcemap shows who's really at the table: the task forces and advisory bodies that shape policy, who's on them, who they really work for, and what they produce. Every claim sourced and confidence-tiered.

A task force is announced and the roster is just names and titles. forcemap runs each member down: current employer, financial and revolving-door interests, prior government roles, and where those interests concentrate across the panel (the influence-capture story). It covers government and Fortune-500 task forces, advisory bodies, and decision-making groups whose decisions plausibly affect more than 1,000 people, and traces what each body produces (reports, proposed rules, and bills). It is built for journalists and watchdogs: every person→interest and person→financial claim carries a source URL and a confidence tier (confirmed, reported, or inferred), and unsourced claims are never shown. It does the cross-referencing a reporter otherwise does by hand (bios, filings, donations, lobbying) the day a new body is announced. Pre-launch; the early-access list is open, free for working journalists and academic researchers during beta.

## How it works

- **Detect**: a daily scrape of Google News plus government feeds (GSA FACA, the Federal Register) surfaces newly formed bodies within a day.
- **Resolve**: each member is entity-resolved to their employer, prior government roles, and financial ties from news, FEC filings, and lobbying / OGE disclosures.
- **Assess**: when several members share a backer or sector, the concentration is flagged rather than buried.
- **Trace**: each body is linked to the reports, rules, and bills it produces, connecting intent to outcome over time.

## For AI agents

This product exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agents can act on a user's behalf.

- MCP endpoint: /mcp/mcp (streamable-HTTP JSON-RPC; discover tools with a standard tools/list call)
- MCP discovery: /.well-known/mcp.json
- OpenAPI (REST): /openapi.json
- Authentication: none required (public tools)

### Available actions (MCP tools)

- `get_product_info`: name, description, benefits, how-it-works, pricing, and launch status.
- `submit_interest`: register a user's early-access interest (email, name, company, persona, message).

## Data sources

- Google News RSS (daily scrape) for detection and roster/interest extraction.
- Government datasets: GSA FACA advisory-committee registry, the Federal Register, Congress.gov, FEC campaign-finance filings, and federal lobbying / OGE disclosures.
