GroundVue MCP

Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a way for an AI assistant to use GroundVue's data tools during a conversation. GroundVue MCP gives compatible AI services read-only access to the policy signals, transcripts, sources, and coverage available to your GroundVue account. Availability depends on whether your AI service, subscription plan, and workspace allow remote MCP connections.

Responsibility

You are responsible for verifying AI-generated output

GroundVue MCP provides a data connection between your GroundVue account and a third-party AI service you choose to use. GroundVue does not control that service or endorse, verify, or guarantee its interpretations, summaries, conclusions, recommendations, or other generated output.

AI services can hallucinate, omit relevant context, mischaracterize source material, confuse model knowledge with GroundVue evidence, or generate unsupported claims or advice. Always review material outputs and verify important claims against the linked GroundVue evidence and primary sources before relying on, sharing, publishing, or acting on them.

GroundVue data may also be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or subject to coverage limitations. Missing GroundVue results should not be interpreted as evidence that no relevant government activity, public comment, or policy action occurred.

Your use of a third-party AI service is subject to that provider's own terms, policies, capabilities, and data practices. GroundVue is not responsible for the operation of third-party AI services or for decisions, actions, or harms arising from their generated interpretations or advice, except to the extent required by applicable law.

GroundVue's own services, data, and liability remain subject to the GroundVue Terms of Service and Disclaimer.
