Capabilities

Tools 12

get_aggregate_stats

Get high-level stats on CTA's records: trades recorded (since records began + 30/60/90d), members with recorded trades, avg filing delay, sector breakdown.

Discovered
get_chamber_breakdown

Get counts of the trades in CTA's records broken down by chamber (House vs Senate), with optional date filter. Senate counts since October 23, 2026 are partial (see the server instructions).

Discovered
get_committee_trading

For a given congressional committee, returns which members have stock trades in CTA's records for the last N days, their trade counts, and the percentage of the committee with at least one recorded trade.

Discovered
get_member_profile

Returns a trading profile for one member of Congress from CTA's records: trade count, buys and sells, first and last trade dates, average disclosure lag, party, chamber, state, and committee assignments. member_name must exactly match the stored member name (the STOCK Act filer name with honorifics removed, often a legal name); a name that does not match returns total_trades 0 and no error, so resolve names with search_members_and_tickers first. The profile covers only trades filed under that exact spelling.

Discovered
get_member_trades

Returns stock trades disclosed by one member of Congress, newest trade first, with optional ticker and date-window filters. member_name must exactly match the member name as stored: the STOCK Act filer name with honorifics removed, which is often a legal name rather than the name the member is commonly known by. A name that does not match returns count 0 and no error, so resolve a common or partial name with search_members_and_tickers first. Only trades filed under that exact spelling are returned; for a member who filed under more than one spelling, use get_trade_feed with a partial name to include the other spellings.

Discovered
get_party_breakdown

Get counts of the trades in CTA's records broken down by party (D/R/I), with optional date filter.

Discovered
get_ticker_buyers

Get the members of Congress with a recorded purchase of a specific ticker in CTA's records for the last N days, aggregated per politician.

Discovered
get_top_tickers

Get the tickers with the most congressional trades in CTA's records for the last N days. Set tx_type='Purchase' for most-bought tickers, or tx_type='Sale' for most-sold. Omit tx_type to rank purchases and sales together (default).

Discovered
get_top_traders

Returns the members of Congress with the most trades in CTA's records, by trade count, optionally filtered by chamber (House or Senate) and date window.

Discovered
get_trade_feed

Get recently disclosed congressional stock trades from CTA's records, with optional filters for politician, ticker, party, chamber, and transaction type.

Discovered
get_trades_by_ticker

Get the congressional trades in CTA's records for a specific stock ticker symbol, newest first.

Discovered
search_members_and_tickers

Case-insensitive substring search over member names, ticker symbols, and company names. Returns up to `limit` matching members and up to `limit` matching tickers, each ordered by trade count. Use it to turn a common or partial name into the exact stored name that get_member_trades and get_member_profile require. A member who filed under several spellings appears once, under one of them, with trade_count summed across those spellings, so get_member_trades on that name can return fewer trades. It matches substrings only and does not correct misspellings.
