Browse municipal datasets with Claude Desktop

This MCP Server searches public municipal records from Campinas directly in your chat. You usually waste time digging through clunky government portals to find specific public records. You can bypass that entirely by asking your AI client to run `search_packages` or `list_groups` to find exactly what you need, from public health statistics to education budgets. Claude pulls the metadata instantly. Once you spot a relevant dataset, the `get_package` tool grabs the full context. You can then ask follow-up questions about update frequencies and data formats without ever leaving your chat window.

Drill down into specific city resources

This tool drills down into specific files within the city datasets. Datasets function as containers, but the actual files live in resources. Finding the right CSV or JSON file takes time. You can tell your agent to execute `search_resources` to pinpoint the exact file you want based on specific criteria. After locating the file, `get_resource` pulls the metadata. This gives you the direct download URLs and format types so you can immediately start processing the municipal data.

Map out Campinas organizations via MCP

The server maps out the organizational structure of Campinas data providers. City data comes from dozens of different departments and secretariats. Figuring out who published what is easy when the `list_organizations` tool maps out every department in the city network. You can combine this with `list_tags` to cross-reference departments with specific topics. This MCP Server lets you build a complete picture of how Campinas structures its public information.

Common questions about Campinas Open Data MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop app and navigate to Settings, then Developer. Edit your `claude_desktop_config.json` file to include the server command, save it, and restart the application.

Yes. Ask your agent to find specific terms and it will trigger `search_packages` to query the portal. You get the results directly in your chat interface.

You can connect it via Settings then Integrations in your browser. Just paste the remote MCP Server URL and authenticate to start querying city records.

The server retrieves metadata and links rather than the raw files themselves. Tools like `get_resource` return the download URLs for CSVs, JSONs, or PDFs published by the city.

This server only reads public municipal data like education budgets and health statistics. Vinkius runs the connection in an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox, meaning your prompts and retrieved public records disappear the moment your session ends.
