One research surface, three ways in

OppoDB is a live opposition research platform: candidate files, executive-branch vetting, state-by-state policy impact, campaign finance and legislative tracking — all queryable from a web app, a REST API, and an MCP server your AI tools can talk to directly.

Web application

The full desktop: windows for every corpus, search, chat and exports.

REST API

The same data and permissions, programmatically, for tools and dashboards.

MCP server

Your AI assistant researches from the real database, with citations.

How it works

Ingest

Filings, bills, results and records sync continuously from federal and state sources into one normalized store.

Research

Our desk turns raw records into narrative research books with sourced vulnerability pages and version history.

Query

Search the whole corpus at once in the app, ask Research Chat with citations, or pull it through the API.

Ship

Export memo-ready files, wire dashboards to the API, or let your AI assistant work directly against the database over MCP.

What's inside

Research Books

Every profile is a working research book, not a clipping file: biography, voting record, funding, statements and issue-by-issue vulnerability pages that campaign staff can lift straight into memos.

The MAGA Files

Cabinet members, agency heads and senior officials — backgrounds, controversies, conflicts of interest and policy positions, maintained as the administration changes.

Local Impact

All fifty states, across economy, healthcare, education, agriculture, veterans, housing and environment — the district-level detail that turns a national story into a local one.

Money & Legislation

Federal and state campaign finance, donor networks, and legislative activity pulled from FEC, state CFB filings, OpenSecrets, FollowTheMoney and LegiScan into one queryable surface.

Research Chat & MCP

Research Chat answers with citations from your subscribed corpora. The MCP server exposes the same tools to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client, so your assistant researches from the real database instead of guessing.

REST API

A documented public API over the same data and the same permissions model, for dashboards, war-room screens, internal tools and scheduled exports.
