Aggregated totals per targeted candidate, scoped by candidate ID or by a whole race (office alone for President, plus state for Senate, plus district as well for House)
How to use it
Project documentation lists by_candidate for the Openfec MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
