An MCP server for accessing data from Data.gov, providing tools and resources for interacting with government datasets.
Installation
**Install the package globally:**
```bash
npm install -g @melaodoidao/datagov-mcp-server
```
**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):
```json
{
"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:
`datagov://resource/{url}`: Access a Data.gov resource by its URL.
You can use these tools and resources with Cline by specifying the server name (`datagov-mcp-server`) and the tool/resource name.
