Fetch live catalog data in Cursor

Call `list_datasets` while in Agent mode to pull the latest catalog entries directly into your editor. You get real data rather than placeholders or hardcoded strings. Use `get_dataset` to retrieve specific URI details. The AI reads the response and writes code that accounts for the actual schema returned by the Spanish government.

Search by publisher or theme in Cursor

Execute `list_datasets_by_publisher` to find all records associated with a specific entity. This is useful when building tools that track data from a single source. Combine this with `list_themes` to categorize your findings. You keep your codebase clean because the AI handles the filtering logic based on the live catalog taxonomy.

Query spatial information for your scripts

Run `list_provinces` or `list_regions` to get the correct identifiers for your geographical filters. It prevents errors caused by using incorrect region names. Use `list_datasets_by_spatial` to grab data specific to a territory. Your code will correctly pull location-based datasets without you needing to look up IDs in a separate tab.
