- 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).
