govdata-mcp 🗃️

mcp-name: io.github.mohammad-abbasi-sh/govdata-mcp

Unofficial read-only MCP server for govdata.de — Germany's national open-data portal govdata.de via its official CKAN API: search 163,000+ datasets, dataset details, publishers, recent datasets and resource details. No key, no login. No key, no login.

Built by Mohammad Abbasi as part of the "Germany MCP factory". Not affiliated with govdata.de.

For AI agents

Add to your MCP client config (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "govdata": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["govdata-mcp==0.1.0"]
    }
  }
}

Or run locally: python -m govdata_mcp.server (needs mcp<2, httpx).

Tools

Tool Description
govdata_search_datasets Search govdata.de datasets — query, limit 1..50, sort (relevance/recent)
govdata_get_dataset Full details of one dataset — dataset_id (id or name, e.g. "wohnatlas-berlin")
govdata_list_publishers Publishing organisations on govdata.de, most datasets first — limit 1..50
govdata_recent_datasets Most recently updated datasets — limit 1..50
govdata_get_resource Details of one dataset resource (file/API link) — resource_id
govdata_health Reachability probe (ok / blocked / error) — one polite request

Notes

  • All data comes from the govdata.de CKAN API (free, no key, no login) — 163,247 datasets at last check.
  • Competition note: pipeworx-io/mcp-govdata-de (★0, 2026-11-09) covers the same portal but only ships 2 tools (list_organizations, list_groups) behind a commercial gateway and has no dataset search; this server adds search, dataset/resource details, recency and tests.

Tests: 19/19 green (13 offline + 6 live, 2026-11-10).

Development

python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install "mcp<2" httpx pytest
.venv/bin/pip install -e .
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q
