search_catalogtool. - Advanced Querying — Use SoQL (Socrata Query Language) via
query_datasetto filter, select specific columns, and sort data from any dataset using its 4x4 identifier. - Data Analysis — Group results and perform full-text searches across entire datasets to extract insights on health, transport, economy, and more.
- Pagination & Limits — Efficiently handle large datasets with built-in support for limits and offsets to browse records systematically.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your Socrata App Token for higher rate limits
- Start querying Catalan public data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — quickly pull public statistics into your workflow without manual CSV downloads
- Researchers — find and cross-reference government data on demographics, environment, or urban planning
- Developers — test data queries and explore API structures directly through natural language

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the unique identifier for a specific dataset?
Use the search_catalog tool with a descriptive query. The response will include the 4x4 alphanumeric ID (e.g., 'abcd-1234') which you can then use with the query_dataset tool.
Can I filter data by specific values like a city or a date range?
Yes! When using query_dataset, use the $where parameter to apply SoQL filters. For example, $where: "poblacio > 5000" or $where: "comarca = 'Barcelonès'".
Is a Socrata App Token mandatory to use this server?
No, it is optional. However, providing a DADES_APP_TOKEN allows for higher rate limits and prevents throttling during intensive data exploration.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
