What is the Minas Gerais (Estado) MCP Server?
Connect to the Minas Gerais State Open Data Portal to explore a vast repository of public information. This server allows AI agents to programmatically browse, search, and retrieve metadata from one of Brazil's most comprehensive transparency portals.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — List all available packages or search for specific datasets related to health, education, or finance using
list_packagesandsearch_packages. - Organizational Insights — Explore the structure of the state government by listing departments and viewing their specific datasets via
list_organizationsandget_organization. - Resource Access — Identify specific files (CSV, PDF, XLS) within datasets and retrieve their metadata using
get_resourceandsearch_resources. - Categorized Browsing — Navigate data through thematic groups (categories) or tags to find exactly what you need with
list_groupsandlist_tags.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your Minas Gerais Portal API Key for higher rate limits
- Start querying public data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — quickly find and inspect public datasets for research and reporting
- Journalists — automate the discovery of government transparency data and organizational structures
- Developers — integrate official state data into applications without manual portal navigation

Frequently asked questions
How can I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'health'?
You can use the search_packages tool with the query 'saude' or use get_group with the ID 'saude' to list all datasets categorized under that theme.
Can I see the actual download links for the data files?
Yes. By using get_package with a dataset ID, the AI will retrieve the metadata for all associated resources, which typically includes the URL, format (CSV, PDF), and description of each file.
How do I list all government agencies that publish data on the portal?
Use the list_organizations tool. It will return a list of all government bodies (like CGE, SEF, etc.) that have active datasets in the Minas Gerais portal.
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.
