GovInfo adapter: wired but waiting on an upstream npm package

Gadoes adds the GovInfo adapter for federal publications (CFR, Federal Register, public laws), following the same template as CourtListener. The commit message flags it explicitly: the `govinfo-mcp` npm package hasn't been published yet, so the server config is scaffolding only.

integrationsearch

backend/src/lib/mcp/servers/govinfo.ts exports buildGovInfoConfig, isValidGovInfoKey, GOVINFO_TOOLS, and GOVINFO_SYSTEM_PROMPT. The config calls npx govinfo-mcp - the package that doesn't exist yet.

Fixtures cover three document types: a CFR entry for Clean Air Act regulations, a Federal Register final rule for PFAS reporting (EPA, 2023), and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58). The 21 tests cover config construction, key validation (null, empty, whitespace-only all return false), citation parsing, and the empty/malformed-input edge cases.

Everything testable without a live govinfo-mcp process works: the parser, the key validator, and the config shape. The mock-MCP integration test is there but can only verify the fixture-response path.

So what Worth importing as scaffolding if federal publication coverage is on your roadmap - the parser and config will be ready when the upstream package ships. Skip it if you need something that runs today.
