munimind-mcp

mcp-name: com.munimind/munimind-mcp

MCP server for MuniMind — query 2,500+ NYC civic datasets directly from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor. More cities shipping soon on the same schema.

What you can do

Once installed, ask Claude natural-language questions that route through MuniMind's API:

• "List all MuniMind datasets about housing violations."
• "Show me the schema for NYC's HPD violations dataset."
• "How many DOB violations were issued in Queens in 2024?" (runs SQL)
• "What's the ownership history for BBL 1000010010?" (Answers API)
• "Preview the first 20 rows of the NYC taxi zones dataset."
• "/analyze_property 1000010010" (curated prompt — chains multiple tools)

Install

pip install munimind-mcp

Or via uv (recommended — MCP clients use uvx):

uvx munimind-mcp

Restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add munimind uvx munimind-mcp -e MUNIMIND_API_KEY=mm_live_...

    "munimind": {
      "command": "uvx",

What's included (v0.3)

7 tools

6 curated prompts

Claude Desktop surfaces these in its slash-menu. Each prompt is a multi-step workflow that chains tools end-to-end.

• /analyze_property — full diligence on one property
• /investigate_owner — map a portfolio, detect shell-LLC links
• /area_development_scan — permits + BSA/LPC/CPC cases + lobbying in an area
• /meeting_digest — summarize CPC/BSA/LPC/council activity
• /precedent_search — find similar BSA/LPC/CPC decisions
• /suggest_sql — turn a plain-English question into a DuckLake SQL query (NL2SQL via your client's LLM — zero server-side inference cost)

4 resources

MCP resources are context your client reads without spending a tool call.

• munimind://catalog — full dataset catalog
• munimind://schemas/index — every queryable schema
• munimind://schemas/{slug} — column-level schema for a dataset
• munimind://city/{city}/stats — per-city rollup
