Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Datos.gob.es (Catálogo Nacional) MCP Server?
Connect to the official Datos.gob.es API to explore Spain's vast repository of public sector information. This MCP server allows AI agents to query, filter, and analyze thousands of datasets from national, regional, and local administrations.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search for specific datasets by title or browse the entire catalog with advanced pagination and sorting.
- Advanced Filtering — Narrow down results by publisher ID, specific themes (e.g., health, economy), or file formats like CSV, JSON, and RDF.
- Geographic Analysis — Filter data by spatial scope, including provinces, regions, or specific administrative levels.
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed metadata for any dataset, including its distributions, update frequency, and issuing body.
- Public Sector Mapping — List and inspect public sector organizations, provinces, and regions involved in the open data ecosystem.
How it works

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Datos.gob.es (Catálogo Nacional) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Datos.gob.es (Catálogo Nacional) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 22 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets containing a specific word in the title?
Use the search_datasets_by_title tool. Provide the string you are looking for in the title parameter, and the agent will return all matching datasets from the national catalog.
Is it possible to filter datasets by a specific file format like CSV or JSON?
Yes! Use the list_datasets_by_format tool and specify the format (e.g., 'csv', 'json', 'xlsx'). This will retrieve only the datasets that offer distributions in that format.
Can I find datasets belonging to a specific category like 'Health' or 'Environment'?
Absolutely. Use the list_datasets_by_theme tool with the corresponding theme ID. You can first use list_themes to see all available categories in the catalog.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
