What is the Data.gov Catalog MCP Server?

Connect to the Data.gov Catalog to explore the comprehensive repository of US Government open data. This MCP server allows AI agents to discover datasets from agencies like NASA, NOAA, and the Census Bureau through natural language.

What you can do

Dataset Discovery — Search the entire catalog using keywords, organization filters, and advanced sorting via search_datasets.
Spatial Analysis — Find datasets by geographic location using GeoJSON boundaries and spatial filters with search_locations and get_location_geometry.
Organization Insights — List all publishing organizations and filter results by specific agency slugs using get_organizations.
Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed harvest records, including raw and transformed DCAT-US payloads with get_harvest_record_raw and get_harvest_record_transformed.
Keyword Trends — Analyze commonly used keywords and their dataset counts to identify data trends using get_keywords.

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter 'PUBLIC' or your API key if required by your proxy
Start querying the US Government's open data repository directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

Data Scientists — quickly find relevant datasets for analysis without manual browsing
Researchers — access official government metadata and harvest records for academic or policy work
Developers — integrate public data sources into applications using structured GeoJSON and DCAT-US metadata

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for datasets within a specific geographic area?

Yes! Use search_locations to find a location ID, then get_location_geometry to get the GeoJSON. Finally, pass that to search_datasets with the spatial_geometry parameter.

How do I find datasets from a specific agency like NASA?

Use the search_datasets tool and provide 'nasa' in the org_slug parameter. You can combine this with a search query q for more specific results.

What is the difference between raw and transformed harvest records?

The get_harvest_record_raw tool returns the original metadata from the source agency, while get_harvest_record_transformed returns the data mapped to the standard DCAT-US schema used by Data.gov.

How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?

Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.

Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?

Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.

Does it support streaming tool results?

Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
