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

Q: Can I filter Barcelona's traffic data inside Windsurf using this Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) connection?

Yes, you can. Cascade calls bcndatastoresearch with specific filter parameters to isolate traffic or census records, letting you work with manageable chunks of public data directly in your editor.

Q: How do I set up the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) integration in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once you hit refresh in your MCP panel, Cascade instantly auto-discovers all seven data tools.

Q: How do I pull the latest packages from the catalog?

Ask your agent to find recent updates. It will call bcncurrentpackages to return a fresh list of datasets and their associated resources, giving you the newest urban statistics.

Perplexity

Run SQL queries on public data inside Windsurf

Cascade can write a raw SQL query and hit the Barcelona Open Data API in one shot. It uses `bcn_datastore_search_sql` to target specific public CSV resources, pulling raw records without making you click through a browser. You just ask for the data you want. The agent handles the database dialect, formats the query with double quotes around the resource ID, and displays the exact tables you need to build your local visualizations.

Auto-discover Barcelona datasets with Cascade

Stop guessing which dataset contains the environmental metrics you need. Cascade chains `bcn_package_list` and `bcn_package_search` to find relevant catalogues, then inspects them automatically. It doesn't ask you for permission at every step. Grabbing the dataset name, the agent runs `bcn_package_show` to inspect the metadata and extracts the exact resource ID for your analysis.

Chain dataset searches to feed your Windsurf code

When you want to build a feature around Barcelona's public transit or housing stats, Cascade uses this MCP Server to fetch the live schema. It fires `bcn_resource_show` to inspect the structure of the target CSV file. Once it knows the column names, it uses `bcn_datastore_search` to pull sample records. You get clean, real-world mock data injected directly into your workspace to write accurate code.
