How to Use the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline use the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) MCP server to build local files?

Cline calls bcndatastoresearch to pull public statistics, then writes that data directly into a local JSON or CSV file. It can then use those files to build and test your local data visualizations.

Q: Can I run custom SQL queries on the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) portal using Cline?

Yes, you can. Cline uses the bcndatastoresearchsql tool to run SQL queries against public CSV resources, letting you filter and aggregate urban data directly from your sidebar.

Q: How do I list all available datasets in the Barcelona catalog?

Tell Cline to find the datasets. It will run bcnpackagelist to get the names of all open data catalogs, then pull metadata for the ones you choose.

Build data components with Cline and this MCP Server

Cline fetches Barcelona's urban data to write frontend components. It calls `bcn_datastore_search` to pull actual records from the public transit datasets and feeds them straight into your React or Vue components. You get a working UI populated with real-world public data instead of boring lorem ipsum. The agent inspects the schema, writes the data-fetching logic, and tests it in your workspace.

Query Barcelona CKAN databases via SQL inside Cline

When you need complex filters on massive civic datasets, Cline uses `bcn_datastore_search_sql` to execute precise SQL statements. It wraps the resource ID in double quotes as required and gets the exact rows. The agent processes the returned JSON and writes it to a local file. This lets you analyze environmental or economic statistics without manually downloading giant CSV files.

Map out public datasets without leaving VS Code

Cline inspects the entire catalog structure by calling `bcn_package_show` and `bcn_resource_show`. It maps out the relationships between different municipal datasets so you know exactly what statistics are available. If a dataset is missing a column you need, Cline catches it early. Searching alternatives with `bcn_package_search` allows the agent to update your local code to target the correct resource.
