Perplexity

SQL-like querying of environmental tabular data

The `datastore_search` tool pulls structured CSV and tabular records directly into your chat window. Claude Desktop handles the raw data formatting, letting you filter through thousands of environmental infraction logs without downloading giant files. You specify the filter criteria and get clean, immediate arrays back. This replaces manual portal downloads and spreadsheet filtering, keeping your research workflow inside a single interface.

Fast metadata discovery with this MCP Server

Locate targeted datasets using `list_datasets` and `search_datasets` to map out available Brazilian environmental records. Your agent navigates the CKAN catalog structure, identifying relevant data groups and publishing organizations instantly. Once you find a target, `show_dataset` displays the complete metadata schema. You see update frequencies, licensing terms, and maintainer details without leaving your workspace.

Targeted resource inspection and tracking

Run granular searches across specific database files using `search_resources` and `show_resource`. This MCP toolset lets your agent isolate specific CSV links, PDF reports, or API endpoints nested inside larger datasets. You can also map administrative structures with `list_organizations` and `show_organization`. Knowing which department published the registry helps verify the legal weight of the data.
