Query MDIC Datastores Directly Inside Cline

The `search_datastore` tool pulls raw Brazilian trade statistics directly into your VS Code workspace. Cline can execute these queries, parse the incoming JSON payload, and instantly write the data into your local SQLite database or JSON store. Forget copy-pasting tables. You let the agent handle the heavy lifting. It handles the API communication, parses the columns, and updates your local development files in one clean sweep.

Inspect Trade Metadata with This MCP Server

The `get_package` tool fetches the exact structural definition of any Brazilian trade dataset. Cline uses this metadata to inspect schema changes and verify column names before generating data-ingestion code. Following that, `get_resource` retrieves the direct download paths for the trade files. This allows Cline to download the exact CSVs, parse them, and build working local mock datasets for your frontend components.

Search Brazilian Trade Catalogs from Cline

The `list_packages` tool retrieves the entire active directory of trade datasets from the MDIC portal. Your agent can read this directory to discover new export and import datasets without leaving your editor. When looking for specific trade sectors, `search_packages` filters the MDIC catalog by search terms. Cline uses this tool to locate historical trade files, ensuring your projects always use the correct source data.
