About Data.gov Catalog MCP Server

Connect to the Data.gov Catalog to explore the comprehensive repository of US Government open data. This MCP server allows AI agents to discover datasets from agencies like NASA, NOAA, and the Census Bureau through natural language.

Google ADK natively supports Data.gov Catalog as an MCP tool provider. declare Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 8 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.

What you can do

  • Dataset Discovery — Search the entire catalog using keywords, organization filters, and advanced sorting via search_datasets.
  • Spatial Analysis — Find datasets by geographic location using GeoJSON boundaries and spatial filters with search_locations and get_location_geometry.
  • Organization Insights — List all publishing organizations and filter results by specific agency slugs using get_organizations.
  • Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed harvest records, including raw and transformed DCAT-US payloads with get_harvest_record_raw and get_harvest_record_transformed.
  • Keyword Trends — Analyze commonly used keywords and their dataset counts to identify data trends using get_keywords.

The Data.gov Catalog MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
