Add Program Integrity Alliance (PIA) MCP server to Official Integrations in README

[dividor]

Description

The Program Integrity Alliance (PIA) aims to make working with U.S. Government datasets easier and AI-friendly. We have ingested hundreds of thousands of documents and articles across a range of sources, and this list is growing. This MCP server enables AIs to search this data at a more detailed level than on most source websites, for example, searching within PDF reports to find the exact pages where text and images appear.

Full attribution is given to the amazing open federal data sources, and all links in the data provided by PIA will always direct back to the original source.

Currently, the list of datasets includes:

• U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) - 10k Federal Reports since 2010 and 5.5k Open Oversight Recommendations
• Oversight.gov - 28k OIG Federal Reports since 2010, and 29k Open Oversight Recommendations
• U.S. Congress - Bill texts for sessions 118 and 119
  Department of Justice (DOJ) - 195k Press Releases since 2000
• Federal Agency annual reports - Congressional Justification, Financial Report, Performance Report - 139 reports across 10 priority agencies, with best coverage in 2024.

This data is updated weekly, and we will be adding more datasets and tools soon.
