What is the DOJ NCVS Crime Data MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire public safety research workflow with DOJ NCVS Crime Data, the authoritative source for United States victimization statistics. By connecting the DOJ API to your agent, you transform complex crime data lookups into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve personal and household victimization rates, audit historical crime trends, and identify regional safety markers without you ever touching a technical data portal. Whether you are conducting sociological research or monitoring community safety, your agent acts as a real-time safety analyst, ensuring your intelligence is always grounded in official, government-verified data.
What you can do
- Personal Auditing — Retrieve statistics on personal victimization, including assault and theft, to maintain a clear view of safety trends.
- Household Oversight — Audit household-level crime data, such as burglary and motor vehicle theft, to understand residential security.
- Temporal Intelligence — Query crime statistics for specific years to audit past and current public safety trends instantly.
- Regional Discovery — Retrieve crime data for specific US regions to understand geographic distributions of victimization.
- Attribute Intelligence — List all available categories and attributes in the NCVS catalog to identify relevant safety markers.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for DOJ Crime Data?
No. The DOJ NCVS API is a public and free service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
What types of crime are included in the statistics?
The NCVS includes data on personal crimes (assault, theft) and household crimes (burglary, motor vehicle theft). Use the list_crime_attributes tool to see the full catalog.
Is the data national or state-level?
The API provides national-level victimization data, often categorized by broad geographic regions (e.g., South, West) and population sizes.
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.
