    }
  }
}

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    bill-types is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that congressgov mcp server is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.

Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline docs

Set these first

congressgov mcp server will not start until these are set, so it never reaches Cline.

Same resource, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
