# Paris Waste Data AI Agent Connect > Paris Waste MCP provides direct access to Paris open-data regarding waste management. You can locate any of the 438 TriLibre voluntary-drop stations by arrondissement or street address. It also tracks per-capita waste streams from 2019 to 2024, covering glass, bio-waste, and residual household waste. ## Overview - **Category:** government-public-data - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_Bppjkk2z2na74ScWMXQVFz7Set46sbOtrXts1fYC/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** paris, france, waste, recycling, per-capita, trilibre, keyless ## Description This MCP connects your AI client to the official Paris open-data platform. You can pull specific details on the city's waste infrastructure or analyze how much waste residents produce. If you need to find a recycling point, you can query the 438 TriLibre stations to get exact street addresses and current equipment status. For researchers or analysts, the tool provides historical per-capita data for five specific waste streams. You can track trends from 2019 through 2024, including year-over-year changes for glass, multi-material, bio-waste, and more. The data is organized by kg per inhabitant, making it easy to build sustainability reports or comparative studies. The interface handles the specific labeling used by the city, so you can search for streams using simple terms like verre or biodéchets. ## Tools ### list_trilib_stations This tool lists the 438 voluntary-drop TriLibre stations across Paris. It provides the station code, street address, arrondissement, and current status for each location. ### count_trilib_stations This tool returns a total count of waste stations. You can filter this count to see how many stations exist within a specific arrondissement. ### trilib_station_lookup This tool finds a specific station using its 4-digit identification code. It returns the address, arrondissement, and current service status. ### waste_history This tool retrieves the per-capita waste series for a specific stream from 2019 to 2024. It includes the calculated delta between the first and last year in the series. ### waste_per_capita This tool pulls the annual per-capita waste quantities for a specific year. It covers five streams, including glass, bio-waste, and residual household waste, measured in kg per inhabitant. ### waste_types_overview This tool provides a list of the available waste stream labels and the year range covered in the dataset. Use this to find the correct filter values for other tools. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` How much residual waste does a Parisian produce per year, and has it gone down since 2019? ``` **Response:** ``` The waste_history tool shows the series for residual waste from 2019 to 2024, including the calculated delta between the start and end years. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Where are the waste drop points near Montmartre? ``` **Response:** ``` Since Montmartre is primarily in the 18th arrondissement, you can use list_trilib_stations with the 75018 postal code to find the nearest addresses. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me the 2024 quantities of all five waste streams. ``` **Response:** ``` Running waste_per_capita for the year 2024 will return the kg per inhabitant for all five streams: glass, multi-material, bio-waste, occasional waste, and residual household waste. ``` ## Capabilities ### Station Locating Your agent uses this to find specific street addresses for recycling drop-off points. ### Trend Analysis Your agent calculates year-over-year changes in waste production per person. ### Data Discovery Your agent identifies valid waste stream labels and available years in the dataset. ### Aggregated Counting Your agent determines the total number of recycling stations in specific districts. ## Use Cases ### Environmental Reporting An analyst uses the waste_history tool to see if bio-waste production has increased in Paris over the last five years. ### Citizen Assistance A user asks their agent for the nearest glass recycling bin, and the agent uses trilib_station_lookup to find the address. ### Infrastructure Audits A planner uses count_trilib_stations to compare the number of recycling points between different arrondissements. ### Policy Research A researcher pulls 2024 per-capita data to compare current waste levels against the 2019 baseline. ## Benefits - Accesses live Paris open-data without manual CSV downloads. - Calculates year-over-year deltas for waste streams automatically. - Provides exact station status and addresses for the TriLibre network. - Maps waste production to kg per inhabitant for standardized comparisons. ## How It Works Connect your client to Vinkius to access the Paris open-data tools immediately. 1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Ask your agent a question about Paris waste or station locations. 3. The agent selects the appropriate tool from the Paris Waste MCP. 4. The tool pulls real-time data from the Paris open-data platform. 5. Your agent presents the specific addresses or waste metrics to you. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How many TriLibre stations are in Paris?** There are 438 voluntary-drop stations in the city. **What years of waste data are available?** The per-capita waste stream data covers the years 2019 through 2024. **Can I find stations in a specific district?** Yes, you can filter the station list or count by the arrondissement postal code. **What kind of waste streams are tracked?** The data includes glass packaging, multi-material, bio-waste, occasional waste, and residual household waste. **How is the waste quantity measured?** Waste quantities are provided in kilograms per inhabitant per year. **Do I need an API key?** No. opendata.paris.fr serves all city datasets anonymously over its Opendatasoft REST API. This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured. **How do I filter by waste stream type?** Pass the letters-only name — "Biodéchets", "verre", "multimatériaux", "occasionnels" or "résiduelles". The tool resolves it to the stored emoji-labeled value through the dataset facets; an unknown type lists the available ones. **What do the quantities mean?** The quantite column is kg per inhabitant per year for the whole City of Paris (no per-arrondissement breakdown). Five streams are tracked: recyclables (glass, multi-material, bio, occasional) and the residual fraction. **Are the TriLibre station addresses live?** The station list is the current official reference (438 points, all with the status "Mobilier en service"), but it is a snapshot, not a live feed — closures or relocations appear in the next data refresh.
