How to Use the Dades Obertes Catalunya MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Dades Obertes Catalunya server for Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the server details Vinkius provides. This keeps the configuration specific to your project.

Q: What's an example of a SoQL query I can use with Dades Obertes Catalunya in Cursor?

You could tell your agent: 'Use querydataset on 'abcd-1234' with the query $select=city,population&$where=population > 50000'. The agent will then fetch that specific data slice for you.

Inject live data from Catalonia's open data portal directly into your code with Cursor.

Perplexity

Find the Right Dataset ID

The `search_catalog` tool stops the context switching. Instead of opening a browser to find a dataset, just ask your agent in Cursor's chat. Tell it to find datasets on a topic, like 'Search for Catalan agricultural production data'. It will return the identifiers you need to actually query the data, right in your editor.

Generate Code with Real Data

This is where it gets good. The `query_dataset` tool lets your agent pull live data from the portal. Then, it can write code that uses that exact data. Ask it to 'Write a Python script that fetches and prints the names of all public schools in Tarragona'. The agent will find the dataset, query it, and generate working code with the real API call. No more mock data.

Build Data Apps Faster in Your Editor

Combine Cursor's agent with this MCP Server to build things faster. You can have it scaffold an entire script or function based on Catalonia's public data. Go from an idea to a working prototype in minutes. Your agent does the tedious work of finding dataset IDs and structuring API calls, so you can focus on the actual logic of your application.

Common questions about Dades Obertes Catalunya MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory. Add the server details Vinkius provides. This keeps the configuration specific to your project.

Absolutely. You can ask the agent to 'Find the dataset for unemployment rates in Lleida, then write a Python script using matplotlib to plot the last 10 years of data.' It will use both tools to get the data and generate the code.

You could tell your agent: 'Use `query_dataset` on 'abcd-1234' with the query `$select=city,population&$where=population > 50000'`. The agent will then fetch that specific data slice for you.

No. The server runs on Vinkius infrastructure, not your local machine. Cursor only makes a network request when you explicitly ask the agent to use one of its tools. Your editor's performance isn't affected.

Your queries for public dataset information are sent to the Vinkius-managed MCP Server. The connection is secured, and the execution environment for the tool is isolated and temporary. No private code or local files are ever sent.
