Perplexity

Discover public datasets instantly

Stop switching to your browser to hunt down government API documentation. Your coding agent does the legwork. When you tell Cline to build a demographic dashboard, it triggers `search_catalog` to find the right public records. It pulls the exact dataset IDs required to start fetching rows.

Query records via SoQL

Downloading massive CSVs from public portals clutters your workspace. You only want the specific rows that matter for your current project. Cline runs `query_dataset` to execute precise SoQL commands. It filters the data using $where and $limit parameters, bringing only the relevant JSON payloads directly into your VS Code environment.

Cline MCP Server integration

Building a full-stack data app usually takes hours of boilerplate. This setup collapses that timeline. You ask for a live weather component. Cline searches the catalog, queries the temperature data, writes the React component, and stages the commit. The entire workflow happens end-to-end.

Common questions about Dades Obertes Catalunya MCP in Cline

Open the Cline sidebar and click the MCP Servers icon. Use the Remote Servers tab to add the Vinkius URL, or just paste it into your cline_mcp_settings.json file.

Yes. Give your agent a prompt to create a visualization of Barcelona's population density. It fetches the data and writes the charting code in one pass.

The query tool uses standard SoQL. Your agent passes $select, $where, and $limit arguments to narrow down the exact records it needs.

If the Catalan government publishes it on their portal, you can access it. The server queries the live public endpoints directly.

The integration strictly reads public government statistics and catalog IDs. Your proprietary VS Code project files stay local. The MCP connection runs through an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that disappears after the request.
