Cascade Navigates Spain's Data MCP Server

You need specific public sector data for a project. Instead of digging through web portals, you tell Cascade what you want. It instantly triggers `search_datasets_by_title` to find relevant records. Once it spots the right match, the agent pulls the exact identifiers. It then runs `get_dataset` to pull the full schema right into your editor. You never even opened a browser.

Filter by Region and Theme

Building an app for a specific autonomous community requires localized data. You just ask Windsurf to map out available sources for Madrid or Catalonia. The agent fires `list_regions` to grab the exact IDs needed. From there, Cascade chains `list_datasets_by_spatial` and `list_datasets_by_theme` to narrow down the results. If you only want CSV files, it applies `list_datasets_by_format` to filter out the noise.

Map Public Sector Taxonomies

Categorizing Spanish government data can get messy fast. Windsurf handles the structural mapping for you. It calls `list_public_sectors` to pull the entire taxonomy of primary sectors. When you need to drill down into specific publishers, the agent uses `list_publishers`. It drops the structured JSON straight into your workspace so you can build your data models immediately.
