Perplexity

Browse Spanish datasets in Claude Desktop

Get instant access to government records by using `list_datasets` or narrowing your scope with `list_datasets_by_theme`. You see exactly what is available in the catalog without leaving the chat interface. Use `search_datasets_by_title` when you have a specific topic in mind. It brings back relevant entries from the repository so you can start working with real government data immediately.

Filter regional data within the interface

Dig into specific geographic areas by calling `list_regions` or `list_provinces`. This pulls the official nomenclature required to cross-reference local statistics. Running `list_datasets_by_spatial` helps you isolate information tied to specific communities. You get the precise data points you need for your analysis without guessing the input format.

Inspect dataset structure and metadata

Grab the full details of any entry using `get_dataset` by providing its URI. It gives you the raw context needed to understand what the file contains. Check the distribution formats with `list_distributions_by_format` to ensure you are pulling the right file type for your project. This MCP server handles the lookup so you don't have to navigate the web portal manually.
