An MCP server for accessing data from Data.gov, providing tools and resources for interacting with government datasets.

Installation

1. Install the package globally:

   npm install -g @melaodoidao/datagov-mcp-server
   

2. Configure the MCP Server:

   • Add the following entry to your cline_mcp_settings.json file (usually located in ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/ on macOS):

      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "datagov": {
            "command": "datagov-mcp-server",
            "args": [],
            "env": {}
          }
        }
      }
     

   • If you are using the Claude Desktop app, add the entry to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json instead.

Usage

This server provides the following tools:

• package_search: Search for packages (datasets) on Data.gov.
• package_show: Get details for a specific package (dataset).
• group_list: List groups on Data.gov.
• tag_list: List tags on Data.gov.

It also provides the following resource template:
