Open Swiss Model Context Protocol

Open Swiss MCP connects Large Language Models to Switzerland's open data infrastructure through Anthropic's Open Source Model Context Protocol. This enables any LLMs to provide real-time, data-grounded responses about Swiss public services and informations.

Why Open Swiss MCP?

• Rich Data Source: Access to 12,000+ high-quality datasets from opendata.swiss, Switzerland's official open data platform.
• Real-Time Insights: Get accurate answers about Swiss public services (weather, transport, etc.)
• Simple Integration: Built on Anthropic's Model Context Protocol for seamless LLM integration with any supported clients.
• Open Architecture: Designed for community contribution and dataset expansion.

Key Features

• One-Command setup
• Access to Swiss public datasets (incl. SBB real-time train informations, Weather updates...)
• Compatible with Claude and other MCP-enabled LLMs Application

We maintain a strong focus on reliability, simplicity, and extensibility. Contributions to expand the supported datasets are welcome!

Contributing

We want to scale!

• keep things as simple as possible -> toward AI generated pages keep things in single file
• keep things as standard as possible (TOOLS, TOOLS_HANDLER) and follow the guidelines for what should be a tool, what should be a resource...
• keep it as low as possible in external dependencies (weigh always pros / cons of integrating a new dependency with always a bias toward not adding it)
• keep things formatted with ruff
• keep things tested with pytest
• use typehints and pydantic model for input output of api requests

Concretly: brew install uv / or other mean to install uv git clone uv venv uv sync pre-commit install

Roadmap
