    "govtrack": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/govtrack/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Govtrack data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
