MCP-Enabled Federal Data Agent

Inspired by the 'Genesis Mission' to boost AI innovation using federal datasets, this challenge tasks you with building a sophisticated agentic system. You will design and implement a graph-based multi-agent system using LangGraph to autonomously access, analyze, and synthesize scientific information from simulated federal datasets. The system will leverage GPT-5 for advanced reasoning and LlamaIndex for robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities, ensuring accurate and contextual information retrieval. A core component will be the integration of MCP-enabled tools for seamless and standardized interaction with various simulated enterprise APIs representing federal data sources, demonstrating how agents can securely and efficiently work with structured and unstructured governmental data for novel scientific insights.
