Open Data MCP

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Query and answer questions from public government or municipal datasets (e.g., SBB train disruption data) integrated directly into an LLM client.

• 2

  Attach reliable, verifiable open-data sources to their reasoning pipeline so responses are grounded in public datasets.

• 3

  Discover, load, and use community-published open datasets quickly via standardized MCP provider modules and a CLI.

Description

Open Data MCP provides a framework and CLI to deploy MCP servers that expose open datasets to LLMs, enabling quick integration (two-click setup) into clients like the Claude Desktop app. It includes a provider template, testing guidance, and publishing workflows so contributors can package and share open datasets. The project emphasizes simplicity, standardization, and minimal dependencies to help scale many community-built MCP providers for governments, public entities, and NGOs.
