What is the IBAMA Dados Abertos MCP Server?
Connect to the IBAMA Open Data Portal (CKAN) to explore and analyze critical environmental information from Brazil. This server allows any AI agent to navigate through thousands of public records regarding environmental licensing, federal technical registries, and inspection activities.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search and list datasets related to deforestation, wildlife, flora, and environmental fines using keywords or thematic groups.
- Metadata Inspection — Fetch detailed metadata for specific datasets and resources to understand data provenance and update frequency.
- Direct Data Querying — Use the DataStore integration to query CSV and tabular data directly using filters and SQL-like parameters without downloading large files.
- Organizational Mapping — Explore the structure of IBAMA departments and the specific data they publish.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Provide your IBAMA/CKAN API Key for higher rate limits
- Start querying environmental data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Environmental Researchers — quickly find and filter datasets for academic or scientific studies.
- Data Journalists — extract specific records about environmental infractions or licensing status for reporting.
- Policy Analysts — monitor public data updates to track environmental enforcement trends in Brazil.

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets related to a specific topic like 'deforestation'?
You can use the search_datasets tool with the query parameter 'q'. For example, searching for 'desmatamento' will return all relevant datasets indexed in the IBAMA portal.
Is it possible to read the content of a CSV file without downloading it?
Yes! If the resource is integrated into the DataStore, you can use the datastore_search tool with the resource_id to query rows, apply filters, and perform full-text searches directly.
How do I find which datasets are published by a specific IBAMA department?
Use the list_organizations tool to see all departments, then use show_organization with the department ID to list all datasets associated with that specific entity.
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.
